You'd have to consider the following:
GCWR of your Tacoma (probably about 8000 lbs)
curb weight of your Tacoma (around 3000 to 3500 lbs)
weight of a Trailmanor: about 3000 lbs for a 2720

Adding up the Tacoma and Trailmanor: 3500 + 3000 = 6500.

That leaves 8000 - 6500 = 1500 for people, propane, people, camping gear etc.

You'd have to travel light, but it's certainly doable.

I'd certainly consider a weight distributing hitch. The weight of the trailer on your hitch removes some of the weight from the front wheels potentially reducing steering control, but there are many here who don't bother with the weight distributing hitch. I use one because when we travel with 5 people and our gear, we come close to going over the Tahoe rear axle weight rating.
