Trailer question

Okay so I usually tour on a standard LHT and bags, but sometimes I like to ride a road bike with a trailer...does anyone have a handle on the types of stresses a trailer puts on wheels? The reason I am asking is that I have actually rode/toured to a few road races on a racing bike towing a trailer for my camping gear. Now racing wheels are not known for their ruggedness and I was curious about whether a trailer puts a whole lot of stress on wheels?
Just one of those sort of random curiousity questions.
