Default have to move cross country..towing trailer?

going to move to seattle, wa from orlando, fl. my only option is to drive my car (96 accord with fresh h22) and a small 4x8 enclosed trailer for cheap or rent a truck and car dolly (hella money). anybody have experience with towing a trailer that far? i dont want to have to replace my motor/tranny when i get there or spend arm/leg if i dont have too.

how much weight will be on the trailer? manual trans i assume..? if you have good tires and brakes you should be safe. if you go easy on the clutch you shouldn't have too much excess wear.

also it wouldn't be a bad idea to get fresh oil and filter in before the trip and check the coolant with one of those float gages. if it's not "good" change it out for fresh as well.
