For the best response for advice on trailers, the handling capacity of the Canyon will have to known. The "Cargo Capacity" weight numbers are on a sticker/label on the driver's side door pillar. Look there and report the numbers here. Tire info would be good too, as an estimation of the vehicle's towing capability. A lot of travel trailers can be heavy so estimating the towing numbers is necessary.
There should be many models of trailers that will fit your use. In FL, I might choose a pop-up camper as the weather is typically mild and the pop-up's low weight and small profile make for an easier tow. I have one parked in my backyard that was parked in FL for 6 mos. The AC will freeze me out if run on "high", lol.
Hard sided trailers also come in small sizes so picking one with the right layout and features will be a new guy's major concern. Don't forget, in your search, to factor in the things an owner can do by themselves like adding a TV screen, adding to outdoor space with awning screens or covers, plumbing in an additional gas hose for gas-fueled grills, etc.
Good luck with your search. I would suggest to visit a few sellers of used TT's to get a feel for what ownership is like. You may choose to buy a new trailer but the information gleaned will be valuable.
