Hello:
Yes, September is generally a pretty pleasant month for most of Nebraska. The trailer should be no problem. It seems most of the campgrounds along the way are better suited to camper life as opposed to tent life. Although tenting is not a problem, either.
As of mid-June, the western part of the trail -- really from Valentine to Neligh is in very good shape. So, the 45s without carry gear should be good. There are some very soft spots once you get around Tilden, however.
Additionally, the stretch from just East of Chadron to Gordon should be all surfaced by September. Since you have the sag -- a day further our west would not be a problem.
