Even dry, you are over weight by quite a bit. Keeping in mind we don't live in a flat part of the country; I wouldn't do it. On a trailer of that weight I would suggest at least 6000 pound towing capacity.
The one thing is most campgrounds you can fill up with water when you arrive and dump your grey water before you leave. No matter what the towing capacity is, I wouldn't carry around 500+ pounds of water with me.
