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...

For many trucks, you can get a FRONT receiver hitch. A lot of people find it easier to unhook their trailer from the back and hook it up to the front of the truck when they have to maneuver the trailer into a tricky spot. WAY easier to see what you are doing that way.
Most trailer coupler locks are junk, easily removed. You can find a ton of YouTube videos demonstrating just how easy it can be. Here's one:

Both true. We have a front hitch that is used primarily for bikes or hitch rack. Can’t recall I ever used it to move a trailer...but I could if needed. Backing trailers is one of those things, once you do it enough it’s non-eventful.
Coupler locks are notoriously junk (like many locks). I bought one years ago designed by a LEO, that is very robust/low profile. Can’t remember the name. We trust our AirStream to it-so far so good.
