I travel/camp solo most of the time. Even if camping with others, we all have our own campers.
I suggest you use the trailer that you already have for solo trips for a year. See how much you enjoy the solo trips before investing in another rig.
While you take these solo trips, make notes of what you like and don't like about solo travel with the trailer. Consider things like how much you move between campsites, do you need to drive the vehicle to fishing sites away from camp, and so on.
Also, consider if your younger son would be able to join you on any of these solo trips.
After a year, you can better determine if buying a second camper is worth it or if using the existing trailer is sufficient.
Practically, the benefit of the trailer is that you can drop it at a campsite and drive just the vehicle around the area. This is great if you are in an area with a lot of fishing lakes nearby. It is also more likely to give you greater tank capacities. Also, a camper on the truck could limit your ability to reach more remote fishing sites than if you are driving just the truck.
The benefit of the truck camper is that you are likely to be able to reach more remote campsites than you can driving the truck and trailer.
