Your TV gets what MPH now? How fast will you drive?
3. How do you keep the trailer from getting stolen - I assume there are hitch locks out there - and how to keep from getting broken into - I assume there are wireless gadgets with phone notifications.

TT theft isn’t that common. Park sensibly. Parking all day in any business lot while you go somewhere isn’t nice. Think of the business owner. Think of the homeowner in front of who’s house you parked.
4. Renting a campsite every night is too costly and would make the whole endeavor impractical. But I'm thinking I would only need to park at a campground occasionally - Once per week? Once every 2 weeks perhaps? (One person)
With a senior pass many USFS and BLM sites are $12. That isn’t costly. You can be thrifty without bothering others.
