To Trailer or Not to Trailer

I know that when we do the trip to Alaska, we will pull some type of camper behind the bike. But, the question of the day is: Do I invest in a trailer for this summer's trip? I have found a local trailer for a very reasonable price. I do not have a hitch, ball, or wiring. But, I know that I could have those in by this weekend and have time to have them installed. So, the question is, do I do it or not?

Advantages: can carry more stuff (like camp chairs, more clothes, etc...); keep the bike more balanced; able to lock most everything up.

Disadvantages: Can carry more stuff; more cost; lower fuel mileage.

So, I don't know. If my wife is agreeable, I may plunge ahead and get one.
