Don't know how big your trailer is.... but I purchased an adapter that turns a single receiver hitch into a double receiver hitch (one mounted on top of the other) for <$50. I now connect my camping trailer to the lower receiver and still use receiver hitch-mounted bike carrier (yakima 4-bike) on the upper mount. Keeping the bikes behind, instead of on top, makes it easier to carry/load/unload bikes and cuts down on wind drag vs. carrying on the top of the Sequoia. Not sure I would use this set-up for a large (5,000+ Lb camper/trailer), but has worked well for me towing a ~2,500 Lb camper. Will take a picture of the adapter and post later.
