I'm thinking about buying a hybrid open/enclosed trailer. The box will be unfinished so I can customize myself. My only concern is weight. My rig will be 4500 lbs or so. That leaves 5500 lbs max for the trailer. My tow rig is good to 10k, but I'd rather not go that high. I saw a 30' hybrid with a 10' box that weighed 3800 unfinished. Mine would be 28' with a 12' box. Is doing this and staying under 5500 lbs dry doable?

To answer your question, you need to put a want list together. Do you want a generator, a/c, water tank, bath w/toilet, shower, kitchen w/sink, fridge, microwave? You need to consider what that stuff will weigh.
We have a 26' trailer we used with a porta potty, generator, a/c and cots. It was ok for the 3 day drive to Moab.
