Looking to Buy a Camper Trailer

I'm looking to get a camper trailer and will be pulling it with the Cheyenne. I'd like to get some opinions from the board on my plan and what I'm missing and/or need before executing.

Truck specifics:
71 C10 SWB
Rebuilt 350
Rebuilt TH350C
Rebuilt 3.42 Limited Slip 12 Bolt
Front Power Discs
Rear Factory Leafs
Receiver Hitch is rated at 1,000/10,000


The trailers we are looking at would be at max about 4,000, and maybe 4,500 fully loaded with all of our glamping gear. The trailers at the upper end of this range, from about 3,500 and up all have electric brakes. Tongue weights run up to about 400. Length would be 17 feet or under.

Is this advisable? Would I need to run a weight distro hitch? Would the SWB be overcome under braking?
