Don't think 2 trailers would be all that bad in DRY weather, but as you said, you get into rain & that's a whole differnt can of worms. As some of our members who have 18 wheel experience can tell you, when the roads get slick, trailers sometimes want to pass the tractor, which in your case would be your trike. It's not a real good idea to try it on a trip on your length because you can run into all kinds of weather. Another thing to keep in mind is your trike has what's refered to as a CVGWR. That's "Combigned Vehicle Gross Weight Rating". On my Roadsmith, that rating allows me to tow a maximum of 500 lbs @ 70 lb tongue weight. That does NOT mean I can put 500 lbs of stuff in my trailer -- that INCLUDES trailer weight. So, if I have a trailer that weighs 250 lbs, then my maximun load for that trailer is 250 lb. I don't know what yout Motortrike is rated for or how much your camp trailer weighs, but you need to watch your loading carefully since most trailers we tow do not have brakes & all the stopping power depends on your trike's brakes & THIS is where double trailers can cause REAL problems. Watch a 18 wheeler that's running doubles or triples -- the rear trailer is all over the place, so you're NEVER dead straight inline when you have to brake. With no trailer brakes, on slick roads, this spells "Jack knife"! ESPECIALLY if you're over loaded.

Last summer I traveled just under 6000 mi in 23 days. I used a tent & EVERYTHING was on the Ultra -- no trailer. I took 4 sets of clothes + 1 extra pair of sox incase my feet got wet in a rain storm. Yes, rolling each day's set of clothes saves a surprising ammount of space. Even so, everything had to be packed right or it wouldn't go! For toiletries, use the sample sizes -- Walmart & other stores usually have a great selection of brands in these "mini packs" and both of you share the same toiletries. Pack so as much of your stuff as possible has multiple uses. Ziplock freezer bags in 1 qt & 1 Gal sizes are an example. They have litteraly hundreds of uses. Trash bags -- 33 gal size - use as trash bags, tarps, emergency rain gear, etc. For cooking gear, look at back packing stuff -- small light weight & usualy multipurpose. When space is limited, sometimes there are tough choices to make as to what goes & what stays home. There are numerous sites on line that give excellent insight into "Touring"! Sorry this got so long
