I think it will do fine.
I towed a westy home on a Uhaul car hauler (NOT a tow dolly, a hauler that
gets all the wheels off the ground) and had no problems at all towing behind
a 1500 suburban. Just plan not to go 75mph and plan to allow additional
following distance (even though the surge breaks are great). The bus i put
on the trailer hadn't moved in 15+ years and had 4 flat tires and no chance
of the engine running..... if you have a few people to push and a come along
you'll have no trouble getting it onto the trailer.
