What kind of truck do you have? I have one but its obviously too far from you to do any good. I have however towed it with various trucks. I had a 2005 Ram 1500 4x4 and I was surprised it did very well.
24' trailer 3500 lb car. I would not go much smaller than a V8 1500, and at that I would ensure you get some good load levelers they make all the difference in the world.

I have a 24' enclosed that was towed with a 06 Dodge 1500 series crew cab pick up. It never had a problem. We went from Galveston to Jersey without a hiccup.

I've towed multiple sizes of enlcosed trailers with different trucks. Just about any truck will tow one. Load levelers will make a big difference. But, with a 1500 and an enclosed trailer in windy conditions.....you will wish you were not towing an enclosed with a 1500. To safely tow an enclosed, a heavy duty truck is the way to go. With a 1500, I would suggest an open trailer.
If you are going to tow short distance on fairly flat grounds once or twice a month, you can get away with an enclosed with load leveling.
But you see what I ended up with for towing.
