I think it would only really work for short trips where you stay in one place, as I've heard the bike Friday trailers aren't great for traveling with due to their width mostly.
Width is about 26" and I've never found it to be an issue at all when touring. I still prefer panniers since the overall weight is less, but the trailer works fine on trips where I need to transport the suitcase.
