Look around, see how many trailers you see running around town - delivery trucks, landscapers, construction equipment, guys hauling 4 wheelers, on and on. Lots of people do it, with all manner of sizes of trailers and tow vehicles. My point - it's not hard once you figure it out. And it won't take you long to figure it out. My initiation came when I needed to tow a small camper for a scout group. Spending a day of quality time at my workplace on a Saturday when no one was there is all it took. I practiced hitching, unhitching, connecting chains and testing lights, then cruising around the lot getting used to how it handled. From there it was practice backing up into the truck loading docks, where there were barriers on both sides and you had to get it right. The first few times you learn what "jackknife" means but it doesn't take many tries to get the gist of how to get the wheels to go where you want them to. Not sure if you have a tow vehicle yet or not but if you

Not sure if you have a tow vehicle yet or not but if you could borrow a small trailer of any kind from someone and just give it a try I think you'll find it's far less intimidating than it seems. No question pulling a popup with a car is easier than a giant 5th wheel and a dually pickup but it just comes down to practice. Again, there are lots and lots of people that do this every day, so you can do it too.
