Wait a minute. I thought Rebar already has the trailer? The Featherlite toy hauler? Fill up the water tank and propane. Then go weigh just the trailer. Then find out how much the two axles with tires weigh. Subtract them from the weight. Then add back in a bunch of weight for food, clothing, kitchen furnishings, all your friends that are going to want to come along, all their food and clothes, etc.... Now, figure out how much that U-Haul chassis is rated for. Don't bother weighing one since you're going to pull the box off anyhow. If it's rated for more than what you've figured out your Featherlite weighs, you should be good to go. Assuming the weight will balance out okay front to rear. Then make sure it'll pull what you want to pull.
