Thumbs down need advice please

I found a 39 feet layton park camp trailor with 2 bedroom and two slide out on it. Plan to tow from Maine to fla,Fla to Maine every year. I have no idea what it's weight It will also have a Harley Davidson FLSTC in the living room, when in tow, and truck will have about 12 hundred lb. in Bed of truck, with fiberglass cap on it. Do you guys think it too much weight to tow? I am running stock truck, I have manual transmission, wondering if trany or rear will heat up. of any other advice will be appreciated, before i buy. or shood i look for a 30 footer instead, truck is long crew cab long bed. Getting very good deal on 39 footer, but if too heavy

if your truck cant tow it nothing will, you should be ok just dont run real hard. you can pretty much not worry about the rear end, and since you have a manual trans you don not need to worry much about that either...have fun
