My Airstream is 3000 pounds. I have stabilizer hitch and have add-a-leafs on the rear of my H3. I am not setting any speed records, but the H3 pulls fine off the line and holds highway speeds well. Sometimes I shift into 3rd on steep hills. The H3 has lots of torque and feels very solid pulling the trailer. I got the Airstream only because I could afford it. I hear you about the layout, though. It sounds like you are pretty jazzed!! Pull it like a sane person and you will have many fun outings!!

Oh yeah. I have Reese Equalizer/Stabilizer hitch. Takes care of 2 birds with one grenade. No tail waging the dog. Drop is adjustable with these things. I have 3 inches of lift in the rear of my H3 so it would probably be different than yours. It is 16ft Bambi CCD. My H3 has the towing package. I use a Prodigy brake controller.
