I agree with Fabr on the tongue weight.  See what it is before adding bandaids.  With your 20' will you have room to move the two vehicles at all?  When hauling a single car on a car trailer, I have never had a weight issue.  Just park it as needed for the tongue weight desired.  Trailer brakes recommended if loading for minimal tongue weight.  The worst situation IMO is minimal tongue weight and a heavy trailer with no brakes.  Disaster waiting to happen.

I NEVER will use a trailer other than a light utility trailer without brakes to tow any distance at all.IMO bugs trailer needs brakes for sure seeing what the tow vehicle is.

flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."
