Default Off Road Trailer using Hill Descent

I own a Fleetwood E3 pop-up trailer and I wanted to know some of the pit falls in using the Hill Descent with a 4000lb trailer. The trailer has electric brakes, but I'm not sure the best way to descend down loose rock trails.

Well I have a range rover....1992, no hilldecent control but I do take it 4-wheeeling and the low gear does just fine for me.... you may have to tap your brakes 1 0r 2 times more than normal..but you should be just fine!

make sure everything is strapped down in the trailer or else it could shift at the wrong time jackknifing you. no matter how good the electric brakes are the loose rock might be too much.
