How inconvenient is a cargo trailer?
How many of you tow a cargo trailer with your truck camper? And how do you deal with the challenges of lugging it along? I'm thinking of a 10 foot enclosed cargo trailer that will accompany me on long...

Sometimes we pull a trailer (cargo, canoes, boat) it varies. I always wished I had a camera-never did hook one up. That would make life easier.
Exit/entry to camper no issue on our setup. Use trailer tongue as a step.
I tow a lot of stuff anyway with/without TC so I am comfortable with the towing aspect...
For security, get a hitch ball and cut off the shank. Padlock the ball into the hitch if you need to leave the trailer. This way no one can drop the hitch on to another ball and tow it away. This will help. But if someone really wants it...they will probably figure out a way to steal it! Having said that, we never had an issue. We have left our camp at NP’s/Sp’s to backpack for several days at a time. I let the campground hosts know we will be away for a few days and ask if they will keep an eye out. Never had a problem.
