First you need to know the total weight of the trailer when it's loaded with everything you want to take with you when you go camping. It could easily sneak up to close to the Corolla's limit of 950 kg. You have to think of safety when towing, and it doesn't matter that you will only tow short distances or do it twice per year. I would tend to go for the Camry, it has a higher towing rating, it is a heavier vehicle and therefore more stable, and I think safer for your needs.
Given that it runs well once started it's most unlikely that it's the fuel pump or damaged fuel lines as the mechanic has suggested. If it's a fuel problem it's likely to be a sensor that's not telling the computer how much fuel to inject into the engine at start-up.
