It's undeniable that the contents of the trailer have helped them solve cases and save countless lives so it's safe to assume it would have aided future Grimms. It wasn't just Nick's property but his family legacy filled with value beyond monetary.
I'm with you on writers trashing characters and having them being wildly inconsistent just to force a plot forward. It's the reason I think Game of Thrones is now overrated. It pissed me off what they did last season to several characters just to prop up others and force a plot that had no good reason to exist.
I understand why Juliette did what she did but her descent happened way too quickly. Jules torching the trailer came not long after putting her own issues aside to go and risk her life to save Monroe. She then had a gun pointed at him in the spice shop. It seemed weird to me that she would use lethal force. You can say she didn't really want to kill him but Monroe wasn't shot only because Hank intervened. That was made worse by forcing Nick to fire a shot at his friend with his own hand. This is the same Monroe that rescued her when she didn't even know him and she returned the favor so what changed so quickly?
I've never been comfortable with plot being valued over character in any show that's supposed to be taken somewhat seriously. Juliette is the prime example of that in this show. Renard getting a pass for his misdeeds shouldn't be overlooked either. They seemed to change course with Renard between the first and second seasons and he's not as interesting as he used to be as a result.
I know a lot of people considered the trailer an entity unto itself in Grimm. I never thought of it as anything more than a prop because the characters themselves never looked at it as anything but a prop. Take Aunt Marie, for instance. Once she took Nick under her wing to care for, the trailer became absolutely useless. She couldn't use it once she took Nick under her wing, so the only option was to pay storage on it for the next two decades. Nick turns 31 and it appears the only reason Marie was passing it on to him then was because she was dying.
Even Nick didn't really give the antiquities in the trailer any special thought. He simply put it and the contents into storage and referred to the books and weapons occasionally. So to me, it seemed it was nothing but a trailer with some resources in it because that's how the characters treated it.
The Grimm writers didn't realize it, but when they had Juliette make the descent to hell as a hexenbiest, the scoobies really went with her. I think they're trying desperately to resurrect them with this Adalind as the good hexenbiest storyline. The problem with that is, no matter how good they make Adalind, she can't be trusted.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
