A bare bones uncut LP hull,
weighs about 1 tonne, so figure less for the cut down hull, and any rust holes.
In NZ the towing vehicle must be heavier than the towed trailer plus load.
This means any load in the towing vehicle helps with traction and stability.
I too have experienced a jack knifed tandem trailer, fortunately at a slower speed. Key lesson for me was keeping the centre of gravity forward of the centre of the axles, (maybe over the front axle?)
Most light vehicles allow only 500kg as the total towed weight.
You probably need an SUV or big ute, (Falcon etc) to tow 2000kg or more.
best wishes
