SilvrT,
Hope the new unit works out as you plan. One piece of advice as to weight of 'stuff'--take the trailer straight to a scales BEFORE you add anything to it for camping/living. Get all the correct figures for the axle weight and the pin weight. Once you have these numbers, you will know where you stand for adding your 'stuff'--but probably the trailer as you pick it up will weigh MORE than you think, and your 'stuff' will also weigh more than you think. 'Stuff' also seems to gain weight just sitting around, kind of like us...
Again, can't emphasize enough that you weigh it BEFORE you start adding anything--you will never again have this chance to know where you stand before making it yours--don't take published weights or anything they tell you for gospel.
Joe
