As someone who's moved cross-country with a bike trailer, twice...I really don't think it matters that much. If it's forty pounds or seventy pounds...it's not rocket science. If you don't have enough weight on your trailer tongue, put a spare trailer tire on the tongue - or the spare car tire.
BUT.
I think you're missing out on an adventure by not just loading up the CB. It's economical and sturdy - and last summer I was laid off half the summer. Instead of worrying, I loaded up the gear - and hit the roads. The loaded CB was a sight - but in handling I never felt the difference. I put 12,000 miles on it.
Of course, we all have to find our own way, what works for us. But this sounds like an outstanding chance to see America via Blue Highways - and, where traffic and prudence allow, at triple-digits.
