Newer vehicles have led lights and the flasher works for those, so no reason why it would not work for a trailer.
Most newer vehicles don't have a flasher - They just use a few lines of software in the "body control module" to turn the lights on and off.
The old-style mechanical flashers tend to be pretty picky about how much current will make them blink - and how fast they'll blink.
One bulb would burn out, and suddenly you had all the others no longer blinking. Add a couple more bulbs on a trailer, and suddenly you had them all hyper-blinking dozens of times per second.
