My trailer is on my truck almost full time with the camper. Everywhere I go I am either riding an ATV or Fishing in my inflatable pontoon. I carry my honda 2000I generator with me most of the time. I can run everything in the camper plus a small space heater when I am hunting. Or I can charge boat batteries. The trailer was always on the truck even before I got the camper. I got the camper so I could have a better place to stay.

I Have an AT Chaser trailer with a RTT and love it but I'm making the switch to an FWC so I can have a one vehicle solution. I will occasionally tow a motorcycle trailer, but for the most part I'll be happy to not be pulling a trailer and not having to worry about getting out of tight spots or not being able to eat at drive-ins.

I haven't had to pass a drive in because of my trailer.
Some guys like to carry stuff in the truck and haul a camp trailer. I had a camp trailer and it was useless for me. I found that if I was planning to take a camp trailer all of a sudden things get complicated. So I ended up sleeping in my camper shell a lot and never took the trailer anywhere. The reason I go most places with my camper is because I want to use the ATV or the boat. If I can pull into a spot I can back it out. I don't worry about those kind if things. I worry if the fish are biting.
This trailer is not a road anchor. I have drug this thing all over Idaho on back roads, highways and two tracks. I am not afraid to take it anywhere.

I hang out on the snake most of the time. If you're ever in the Southern end let me know I will hook you up on a sturgeon in your pontoon.

I've got a 7x12 flatbed trailer we drag occasionally. Like IDRon I've got quads we take on certain outings so extra coolers, fuel, and stuff can go in there. While we do some wandering, we also have the camper so we have a place to stay while fishing, etc. We drag a boat once in a while as well.
Here's the trailer I have.
Built some sides that make it more handy...

This is my trailer:
The short wheelbase means I can get in and out of spots that you couldn't with a longer wheelbase but makes it a pain to back up. I never could figure out how to pull into a slot at a Sonic with it without blocking traffic, though, and a lot of places don't have a nearby street or vacant lot to park and walk over. I think I'm going to prefer the one vehicle route for now. It's all about how you want to use your setup.
