A comment - you don't NEED that much stuff! One of the most common emails I get after travellers have been on the road for a while is "I just sent back another box of stuff I don't need" and then AGAIN a few months later "I just sent back another box of stuff I don't need" and again...

Some travellers report that every time they stop for a bit, they buy more stuff they absolutely have to have, then a bit later "I just sent back another box of stuff I don't need."

If Peter and Kay Forwood can travel for years - two-up - on a Harley Electra Glide, wthout a trailer, surely you as a solo traveller don't need a trailer?

Yes the idea of getting rid of the trailer is nice when you pull up somewhere - but you can MORE easily get rid of luggage. Unloading a trailer then finding somewhere to park it will be a problem. Parking a trailer full of stuff is an invitation to theft, whereas the average third world hotel can store your gear reasonably safely in your room. And you will use hotels in the third world more than you think - they're cheap, and safe, where camping often isn't.

We met a couple in Tunisia that hauled a trailer in North Africa - their tales of flipping trailers (on bad roads and sand dunes and subsequent crashes turned me off trailers permanently.

KISS principle is the travellers mantra - Keep It Super Simple, keep it light, take less - much less.

hope that helps,
