Has anyone done this type of moving and what was your experience driving 2,000 miles?
Being seasonal we travel down each fall. The first two years I towed a 5’ by 8’ UHAUL trailer with a Nissan Pathfinder. You should not go as fast as without a trailer and you will notice the trailer in the hills of Virginia if you take route 81, but overall it was not much different than the 1300 mile trip from MA normally is. Load per instructions and get your tongue weight correct. There were some very funny moments at the beginning for my wife watching me learn to back the trailer up at our home in MA. I would highly recommend a few minutes of practice in a safe place before your real trip. You do not want the first time you back up a trailer to be in a busy or tight situation.

PS. Sorry taylor, hope you do not mind the slight hijack.
