i just did this last week. Fleetwood ED3 camper. this is a popup camper that is sorta jacked up on 30" wheels to make it look offroad worthy 7 days in this thing. it has a big, cargo area in front which really pushes up the numbers with respect to tongue weight.

i also have a 6cyl toyota tacoma. i have moved the trailer around. i think it weighs in at 2800. it SUCKED!! i dont know about your tacoma, but my brakes are damn suspect. worst truck brakes i have ever owned. stopping is nerve racking with the weird pedal feel/feedback. if i was fully loaded with gear, i would have hated it. my brother tows the trailer around with a big duramax.

in freezing temps (it got down to the teens on us started Wed) it is marginally better than a tent. condesation probs. my bag was damp and frozen. the water in the tank froze. this one has a shower, so it is awesome to put warm water in a couple of gallon jugs..jab some holes and do the hobo shower!! in regular weather i bet it would be awesome. in hot weather..dunno. AC must be a must. it is just a tent, really.
