Towing a small trailer?

Towing a small trailer?
I know, a 5-speed Maxima isn't the ideal tow vehicle. But the car is great on road trips and I'd like to take a small camping trailer out on some of these excursions. It would be less than 1000#.
If I took it easy and kept it in 4th, just how horrible would this be for the car? Also any recommendations on a class 1-2 hitch?

My car towed an rx7 once and thats 3000lbs; granted we only went about 2-3 miles and never went over 25mph, but what ever. I dont see how you could have a problem towing under 1000lbs. Just think of it as having three fat asses in your back seat.
