Our 24' Elkmont weighs in at about 3700# with food, clothing, propane and other gear. So I don't think a 3500# towing capacity is good enough.
Its hitch weight is 620# so your vehicle also needs a hitch rating of maybe 650#.
We use a weight distributing hitch that shifts 200# of that back to the trailer axle leaving about 420# carried by our tow vehicle. Add 330# of people and that leave's only 250# for gear in our half ton (1000#) pickup. We're usually over that unfortunately ... Not sure what the payload capacity of your vehicle is, but the hitch weight of the Elkmont can really eat into it.
