Do not use both - last year I went cycle camping in Holland on my
Ti-Rush - I had experimented before I first used my Ti-Rush for camping
and had found it worked best with my Ortlieb front roller panniers on
the 'mid-ship' rack and the rest of luggage in my trailer - the problem
is that this meant the trailer was only half full - now I seem to be
able to fill all available luggage space up, so as the trip went on (I
was away for five weeks) the amount of luggage grew - this was not much
of a problem in Holland (it is quite flat) but when I got home the road
out of the ferry terminal in North Shields (near Newcastle upon Tyne in
NE England) is a gentle up-hill but with all my luggage it was really
difficult - I weighed my luggage when I got home and it was just under
40 kilos (about 85 pounds) .

Mind, some of the Dutch cyclists I met while I was camping were
carrying MUCH more than I was.

I've learned moderation and restraint the hard way. I use Arkel RT40's mid-ship on my Gold Rush while pulling a BOB trailer, and on my Trice Explorer, I use Arkel GT-54's and a Burley Nomad trailer. Either way, I try to keep gear down to a combined weight of about 20-25 kilos. Probably doesn't matter - I'm only good for 30-40 miles per day, unless it's all down hill.
