Questions & Suggestions

I am thinking about doing some touring.
Questions
1. I have a Trex carbon fiber road bike with a triple crankset. There are no eyelets for bags & racks. so if I use this bike I would have to have a trailer. Will a carbon frame get too much stress on the rear stays pulling a trailer?
2. I also have a old aluminum mountian bike with slick on the wheels for road riding. I only have straight bars so if I use this bike do I want to change the handlebars to curved road bars or get the bar horn type extensions. Just riding with the straight bars seems to get tiring real quick without hand changing positions.
The road bike is by far the most comfortable and fastest to ride unloaded. Not sure about the loaded issue.
Thanks for any help
