Engine idleing rough

My engine is currently running rougher than it was a few thousand miles ago. I noticed it on a trip while pulling my trailer. I pushed the engine harder than ever on this trip, both up hill and down. I didn't over-rev it to my knowledge. I mostly notice it when at idle. FYI: The fuel filter only has 6000 miles on it. I hate to take it in for service. Any ideas?
