Yes, people are doing exactly what you propose, ie towing a "small" travel trailer. I'm one of them, and yes, I do have some hints for you.
I have towed a 21 foot, 5,000 lb gross weight, full height/width (ie, 8 feet x 8 feet) travel trailer from Virginia, to Michigan's UP to Seattle, to Los Angeles, and back via Grand Canyon and Memphis. I also towed it from Virginia to Las Vegas via Denver, around the Grand Canyon, through Bryce and Zion back to Vegas, then returned to Virginia. Not to mention a couple odd trips to Ohio and back, as well as to New Hampshire and back.
Here are my suggestions: #1 spring for a GDE ecotune, worth every penny. #2, throw away the stock fan clutch and install a Hayden 2409 heavy duty fan clutch. #3 previous posters are absolutely right, the biggest factor in towing is going to be frontal surface area of the trailer. I get 14 mpg towing mine, as a rule, because it is like dragging a parachute. I managed 50 mph one day in Oklahoma towing into a 50 mph wind, something I won't do again unless being chased by raging banshees. It cost me 9 miles per gallon. so the tip is to get a folding trailer if you can, a Hi-Lo, or a Trail Manor, ANYTHING with better aerodynamics.
And #4, be very careful of overheating. That is why #2 is up there. This engine is a solid performer, but it will NOT tolerate overheating. If you find that needle going above the 3/4 mark, slow down or something. If it hits the "H", you are in trouble, and if the chime goes off, STOP NOW and limit the damage.
