Marta,
Just a warning.  I did this once and every time my horse would doze off 
and drop his head then lift it again it would pull the trailer oh so 
slightly.  I couldn't sleep very soundly so I woke up pretty much any 
time the horse moved.  I decided that that wasn't the best way to go so 
I now, the very few times I've camped since, use a electric coral.  I 
guess If I had unhooked from the truck and anchored maybe it wouldn't 
have so easily moved? I don't know.
