Phil,
If you have trailer brakes you should be fine.
We towed our '79 Midget (1850 lbs.) on a tow dolly (350 lbs?) to
Colorado and back last summer with no problems with a 4 cly. Camry. The
manual said the limit was 1500 lbs. Braking in the mountains was at the
limit. Electric brakes would have done the trick.
See you in Elkhart Lake. (I'm driving it this time.)
