towing a trailer capacity

A few observations:
The average midsize car is approx 15' long and 6' wide and wouldn't fit in a 12' trailer
also the typical enclosed 12' trailer is only 6' wide, very skin tight fit.
The typical weight of a 6x12' enclosed trailer is about 1100 pounds
a 7'x16' enclosed trailer weighs approx 2200 pounds and the typical weight of a mid size car is 3000 pounds, total weight would be 5200 pounds with out any extra gear or bench as you wished.

Your Motorhome model 31e is rated to tow 8000 pounds, but the tongue weight is limited to 500 pounds. The trailer with car and gear would exceed your capacity to tow it.
