Vehicle sounds fine. See if the trailer has surge breaks. That will greatly help the downhill portions. If they are non-operative or non-existant then just take it slow in a low gear and you will be fine. Don't ride the breaks whatever you do.

Looking forward to having another boat back in the fleet. There are only 1 or 2 down there so shouldn't be hard to figure out.
