New to towing, and I want to get a vintage travel trailer. I have a 1951 1/2 Chevy truck with a 350 V8 engine. I just had an R4 700 transmission put in with an additional electric gear. So, after looking at the old charts, it says the original truck has a 4200 to a 4600 Gross Vehicle Weight depending on the tire size. I will be having an electric brake installed if need be. What do you think, is a 2000 lb dry weight trailer too much? I have a chance to look at a 1967 17' Forester trailer tomorrow. Or should I stick with a smaller canned ham, lol?
