In normal driving the following distance for stopping is the 2 second rule. I would double that for pulling any trailer.
2 second rule is: pick an object out and when the vehicle in front of you passes that object, start counting 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004. When you reach 1004, the front of your vehicle should just be even with the object you picked out. Does not matter what speed, the 2(or 4) second rule still applies. This is based on good, dry, road conditions. If the pavement is bad and the road is sandy or wet, back off a lot more.
The above is what I am comfortable with. I don't recommend following close, and in certain conditions your distance in following must increase.
