Chris, I think I can trump your wheelbase factor with the weight factor. 
After some thought, I'd put tow vehicle weight as #1, wheelbase #2.......

Picture the biggest, heaviest trailer you'd want to tow with your
Travelette.  Don't you agree you'd have more control if you welded a ball
on the back of a 9670 Cabover and put the same trailer behind it, even
with a 100" wheelbase 9670, which wouldn't be the best setup?  The
trailer could be all over the road, but you wouldn't even feel it up
front and loss of control shouldn't be a problem.
