I also sympathise about the lack of attachment points. The more the merrier. Bungee cords and trailers go together like strawberry and cream.
Stability is fine actually. Even with badly loaded weight such as with a full propane tank right on the front of the trailer. Also good when packed with 3 loads of laundry. Even headed down hill, top gear, no wobbles, shimmies, etc. The front of my LHT feels a little light, but I also have panniers on the back.
