I put about 4,000 miles on my 2010 F-150 pulling a 14' Serpent Express with my SPF Cobra recently. I am not an experienced trailer puller and everything went fine. I could tell there was a lot of weight back there, but I never had any sway or near out of control braking. I do have the adjustable trailer brake thing on my truck. I drove the Cobra up into the trailer and used tie-down straps to hold the Cobra in place. It rained plenty and the inside of the trailer was perfectly dry. The Serpent Express manufacturer was very helpful and I was impressed with his interest in helping me. I liked it because it is small and I could park it next to my house where a 20' trailer would not fit. on a straight level road I got about 13-14 mpg. If it was mountainous and curvy, the mileage dropped to 10-11 ish. I drove about 60 MPH. It was a chore to get the Cobra in (and secured) or out. I suppose all trailers would be similar in that reguard. We had fun for sure!
