It probably depends a bit on your planned locations and time of year.
eg wife and I did a 12 month trip, mostly centre and top end in dry season.
oztent only so no need to tow anything, which meant we could get into remote places eg Cape Arnhem, and many campsites where you could not have easily set up a trailer.
Now we have 1 child and next big trip we plan to take 2 kayaks, 3 bikes abd a rooftop tent.
So current plan is to keep the D2 with fourby fitout drawer shelf system containing fridge kitchen etc stuff and take a Trailmaster pod trailer fitted with iKamper RTT on high rack and lower rack 1 kayak. D2 will carry other kayak, oztent and bikes.
This way we can camp as usual without the trailer, or take it with us for more toys and luxuries.
My rules: 1) Don’t tow anything - only if there’s no alternative.
2) Less gear = more time walking, kayaking and relaxing and less time spent managing gear.
3) You’re camping, so leave it at home if it doesn’t keep you fed or sheltered, or get you into more out of the way places (like kayaks do).
