It will easier for you to Google CG's in the area you wish to stay . The websites will list the prices and policies. (pets, etc)
Here are my thoughts , just some things to research :
Outback tow rating is 3000# with a v6...correct ?
Make sure the Outback has a tow package with the correct hitch receiver . Also, a transmission cooler as well as temp gauge to match it. You will also need a brake controller to activate the trailer brakes.
Any time you plan to tow at max levels, you need to make sure you DO NOT cook (overheat) your transmission.
Never go by dry weights posted in a brochure. Optional equipment is never included because each build is different, therefore the dry weight of every trailer is different.
AS far as I can find, the smallest non slide R-pod will have to be empty in order to tow it with an Outback. IF your R-pod has a slide, it will add a couple hundred pounds to the equation.
If you are making an interstate move as you plan to do, plan on making two trips or taking two vehicles to transport your stuff that you would normally carry in the trailer.
I would also be concerned about the weight be carried in the TV (tow vehicle) being maxed out as well. You can't overload the Outback and tow a "maxed out or beyond" trailer at the same time.
