Sopper, welcome to the club!

The Nissan at 5000 pounds should be a good vehicle, especially if you stay out of the Rocky Mountains. The rating of 400 pounds hitch weight is a bit short, but not catastrophically so. But combined with the short wheelbase of 104", you definitely need a weight distributing hitch (WDH). Drive very gently until you get one.
