You might also notice the trailer bumping/jerking the trike a little..maybe not...nothing to worry about. Just remember to allow adequate room to cut in/out/changing lanes around other vehicles in traffic. Relax..You’ll be fine.

Nice set up there!
I had the same trailer (CycleMate CM-2000) to pull with a slightly narrower (nearly 6 inches narrower over all at least) Lehman trike, you'll hardly notice it in pulling except perhaps in acceleration or stopping, depending on load. I never shifted with the handlebars in tight turn position, there's no need to. When I drove school buses in the "Hill-city" in the '70s, I learned that once a corner of a curb passed that door, I could crank the wheel to turn. I learned that even with my narrower trike, if I made a turn, if the trike's rear inside most wheel cleared, the trailer cleared due to it's narrower profile. Trailer or No trailer, watch them gas pump islands & pole type guards with the Trike.
Make Courtesy Your "Code of the Road" too!
I picked up the trailer yesterday. It was a breeze. I did not even feel it back there. The previous owner doesnt have the barrel keys to open the trailer. It is unlocked and will not fly opened, for sure; however, I wonder what my options are here.
I would also like to upgrade the lights to LEDs on the trailer. They are pretty dim during the daytime.
