As we aged our needs changed and comfort trumped the bravado of "roughing it". I haul the Jayflight (5600#) with my 1500 Dodge with no problem handles the crosswinds and hills just fine. My trucks GVWR is 8600# total weight of the loaded trailer 6650#.
We just did a 5 week tour, put on 3500 kms. around Southern Saskatchewan so no mountains. Fuel cost was 37 cents a Klik
Tips
Travel dry as possible water is available almost everywhere.
Empty black tank often
Don't carry extra stuff everything weighs something if you take something and don't use it leave it at home next time.

29 foot bunk only weighs 5600 loaded? I hope you have weighed it. Sounds a quite a bit light or you have no water batteries or propane and empty cupboards. I would bet depending on exact model you are running in the 7k range or so. You probably do ok but I bet you would be close or over on your load weight if you get pulled over in places like B.C. Just sayin do your math.
