When I was a kid in the 60's...
There were seven of us in the family.
Gear for seven for a week or so.
We put a catamaran on the roof,
and a Cal-24 sailboat on a trailer behind us: 4000 lbs boat, 3000 lb steel trailer with high supports (used a hoist to launch).
The tow vehicle: a VW van with about 30 some horsepower, and a major hydraulic brake system connected to the trailer brakes!
We could cruise down the freeway at about 45 or 50, unless it was not FLAT or downhill, when we'd be going about 25 or 30.
At least it stopped well!
F350 4x4 dually now...
