If you have the time Miller has the beer...
Really all you need to do is make sure it will not fall apart driving it, and that it will not leak. Duct tape special or just spend the time to get it dry and looking not wrecked and you will be fine.
Unlike a car, nobody is in the camper going down the road so if the frame breaks and you drag the trailer sideways a little while then so what?
I once drug a trailer 11 miles on the hub, then axle as the hub ground off. No biggie. Trailer had to be abandon, but it was so nothing that I had to be told that the trailer was broken while in motion. Lesson: as long as the trailer is not in danger of flipping sideways and taking the truck with it then you are fine towing junky trailers. If frame is damaged then you might have tire wear.
