Just Curious
There is a new generation of very small travel trailers apparently intended for towing by SUV's. I have watched some YT videos and have some questions: 1. Do you need to install accessory wide view...

I tow a small trailer with my suv. My trailer is older and a rarity, but this is what I can share:
Definitely get tow mirrors. Even if you can see with your standard mirrors, you see so much better with tow mirrors. I just got the cheap strap on ones - I only use them when I'm towing.
You will be unlikely to be able to install a generator. There just isn't enough storage space to add one and still have room for everything else. But some manufacturers offer a solar upgrade.
Except for "all electric" models, you will get a house battery and converter/charger. Inverters may be offered as an upgrade.
From what I've seen, most hard sided trailers have a regular RV toilet with holding tanks. Folding trailers and pop ups usually have no toilet, porta potty or cassette toilet.
Anti-sway will be dependent upon actual models and equipment.
Except for "all electric" models, most come with a 2-way or 3-way fridge - it just depends on the manufacturer.
I love my FoldnRoll. It's so easy to tow with the Durango. I find I don't mind the cassette toilet as I can empty it without having to move the trailer to a dump station midtrip. The fridge is 2-way which works fine. I run it on elect before the trip and then switch to propane for the drive - I don't have to worry about changing the mode if I make a stop along the way. I can just stop and leave it on propane and not worry about running down batteries.
