Life with a trailer behind...
For the 2 years and 30,000 miles of camping done so far it has all been trailer free, just the crew cab dually Ford F350 and Northstar Igloo 9.5 in the bed. Total 25 feet. Recently I bought a 14x7...

Don't forget it is back there. surprising but it is easy to do. When switching lanes leave plenty of room.

The best thing you can do is practice and you can do that without the camper on your truck, just use your mirrors without looking over your shoulder or using the center rear view mirror.
Even 7ft wide will be almost invisible to you until you turn or at least wiggle. A back up camera would help a lot.
Having your bike for exploring and errands would be nice.
Happy camping.

Short trailers are not easy to back up, but the best learning is done when it's not a panic. Hook up the trailer and look in your mirrors to see how far you can swing and still make the curve. If you go to far, it is impossible to correct, you have to drive forward to make the curve smaller.
