Is a cargo trailer viable for longer runs, or is it too much hassle to bother with?
To answer your question, yes, a lot of TCers pull cargo trailers. Carry toys and all kinds of supplies/equipment for extended stays. BUT, you don't always have to take the trailer in going to tighter spots, trumping a TT. You can also use hitch racks like this one I used for the MaGruder Corridor. Held genny, chainsaw, gas for both, ice chest and extra water.

I currently have a 7x14 enclosed for my Razor and dirt bike and extra gear.
Then again you can leave the cargo trailer at home and tow a boat. You can off load the camper and use the truck to go to town or tow the boat to the ramp without breaking camp.
At home you have a truck to use and not a whole other drivetrain to maintain.
TC's ROCK!!!
