There's a lot that goes into towing capacity. Engine, transmission, diff, cooling, and frame.

The other thing- 300 pounds of gear is not very much. I have a very small trailer and I am easily around 700 pounds with pots, chairs, food, beer. Propane alone is 40 pounds per tank, and 30 for the battery. Also be sure to look at what the trailer really weighs dry. My trailer has a "dry weight" of 2500 pounds on the website, and was 2800 delivered. The dry weight doesn't include things like the microwave, mattresses, window coverings, etc.
