I saw a camper trailer for sale, weights 455 lbs. Is that too much for my 88 VR? What would the max towing weight be? What about tounge weight?

Ok I'll try not to get to long winded with this. Just bought a new HF trailer and have read several of the post on here about what you should do before using . 1- repack bearings ( is that by hand or do you fill hub with grease through grease sert?). 2- use 4 3/8 washers on tounge coupler . 3- make sure tounge is straight so trailer pulls and tracks atraight. Things not sure about ? 1 - what tire pressure is everyone running in tires. 2- did everyone leave both leaf springs in on both sides or did anyone just use 1 leaf spring. 3 - did anyone put a cooler rack on the front and if you did , did you make the tounge longer or use the 1 that came with it . The reason I bought trailer was because someone hit me last year in Albeq New Mexico and the frame to my whiskey barrell trailer was totaled and didn't have time to fix before we leave for Tenn in 6 weeks . ( should have listened to better half and not waited untill last min to fix it ). If I have forgot anything please someone remind me .

and have a few questions for those that have done it. 1. Option one is the Harbor Freight. With prices coming close to $500 has anyone considered the attached trailer from the same company? $429 complete; Pros and cons? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/gifs/clear.gif http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/gifs/clear.gif 2. Option 2 is using an aluminum truck box. I really like the look better but don't know if I can justify the price? Are there benefits other than looks that make it worth it? 3. Are there any sites that help with figuring out axle placement? How far from front or back etc... Also, tounge length and other dimension questions. 4. I see everyone mounting their cooler on the tounge in front of the trailer. Doesn't that add directly to the toungh weight? I believe I read tounge weight should be under 25 pounds. Doesnt a full cooler take up at least half of that? Thanks!
