hello Andrew, I'm not sure what the advantages would be mounting the kickstand to the trailer? The rear mount puts the kickstand almost directly in the middle of the bike and trailer, and I didn't have any clearance issues with the trailer. And when you disconnect the trailer for a ride around town/camp, your bike will be in the same boat as all the other tourers who don't have a kickstand.
And I am a creature of habit. When I stop the bike and swing my leg over the saddle to dismount, the muscle memory I've developed, aims my foot directly to the kickstand without thinking about it. I'd have to relearn the whole process
I remember seeing a picture somewhere of a bike and bob trailer with a kickstand on each, I can't remember where I saw it, but it was probably of CGOAB
