One of the benefits of a one-wheeled trailer is that it is no wider than the bike. This allows you to position yourself on the road the same as without a trailer, where the two-wheeled trailer will have the bike in the center of the lane. As with any trailer, the dynamics will change with the load, and position of the load in/on the trailer. I put heavier items as far back as I can and add some additional rear preload to my shock.
The trailer will "push" you when braking and cornering, so you need to adjust your riding to deal with it, same as riding two-up. You also need to mind your gap, and be smooth on the brakes, especially if your trailer doesn't have any brake system.
I will (finally) be pulling my Mini-mate Pop-up camper next week. I have not pulled it before, so I can't report how it pulls, but I know it will be a much different experience than my I-lean! Much more weight, and substantially wider. Wish me luck!
