While anti-seize may not be a true lubricant like oil or grease, you can be sure that it modifies the friction involved when tightening a lug nut. Normally, lug nuts are not lubricated and that absence of lubrication is taken into account by the engineers when they give a torque specification. Adding lubrication can result in over torquing and risk of twisting off a stud bolt. It may be of no consequence on a towable but I can assure you that the owner's manual for my TV specifically advises against lubricating the threads on the lug nuts. There is a captive washer that should be lubricated with light oil.
