Considering converting cargo trailer to RV - need advice

I have a 2010 Ford Flex FWD non-Eco Boost V6 which will allow me to tow a maximum of 4500#. Since I'm single and don't need/want a huge travel trailer I've been looking at (approx size) 7' x 14' cargo...

YEP, just because it has a tow rating, doesn't mean it can pull a barn door through the air safely.

Vehicles like the Flex are designed as people movers, not for towing.
Unibody, front wheel drive and high gear ratios are all negatives for towing.
