Do not miss Badeck at the end clockwise of the trail.  The Bell Museum is amazing, telephone is a minor thing at the Museum.

Just north of Chetticamp is Skyline trail, it is an amazing hike with spectacular views.  Agree that the Bell museum in Baddeck is very good.
If you go to Chetticamp from the south, the roads are fine but make sure your brakes are in top shape if you want to pull the trailer through the Cabot trail across the north part of the island.  We left the trailer in Chetticamp and did the Cabot trail in a day returning at night.
If you have some time, you should try and catch a Ceilidh (pronounced cail-lee) for some fun performances.

I strongly agree that pulling a Pod, or most any kind of trailer over the Park part of the Cabot Trail is not a good idea.  There are too many little side trips that would be nearly impossible with a trailer, but just the grades and the tight curves are more than enough to make pulling a trailer through the park less desirable.  And as you say, the Trail can be circumnavigated in a day anyway.  We stayed at the Cheticamp campground and hit pretty much everywhere on the island over the course of a week or so.
