Given that you dont have any experience with doing it, you would be on a very steep learning curve !!

Your car would need to be in perfect mechanical condition.

If there are hills on the way, expect trouble.

Most inexperienced people who try towing a long distance find them self developing a false sense of security when they get on the open road & put their foot down. Then when things go wrong, it happens in a big way.
If I was attempting it, 45 mph max even on nice flat straight roads.

Never go down a hill faster than you could go up it.
Let others pass you, dont hold up traffic.

Better still, take sixto's advice !!!!!
