In Calif, the trailer weight must be observed and 3500lb is more than the tow vehicle itself, which is very dangerous unless you drive real slow. Even with trailer brakes, the trailer can easily push the tow vehicle if not careful.

This is the key- drive slowly and carefully, and have excellent brakes on the trailer and tow vehicle. I've had no problem towing trailers more than twice the vehicle weight with Volvos, even over and through very steep/high altitude mountain passes.
 
Not mine but a friend's, being abused for these kind of things from time to time so we had to replace the clutch a few weeks ago.. :wiggle:

Went through the GF's attic today, packed out a couple of carloads of stuff to sell this weekend:

Dunno if that will work, but it's 2 boxsprings, 2 mattresses, and a table on top of a 244. It looks far more impressive than it is. People going by me on the highway slowed up to take photos of it.

Windscreen shouldn't be a problem, sandblasting (yes) is the best option, just blast the excess glass off.
Bigger problem is taking the time to finish the welding (which is a LOT still..)
