Hello I’m still a little new to off-roading with a trailer. I’ve taken it offroad some but not a lot. I’ve been all over without and ran some nasty trails. I’m on 35’s and lockers front and rear. We’re planning a trip to Sedona. Someone in my group has expressed concern with getting a trailer up broken arrow trail. We’ll be setting up a base camp after that trail. It’s a small military trailer and not heavy. So I’m looking for opinions from those more experienced with trailers.

some of the trails were a little rough in my stock tundra and my tear-drop trailer would get destroyed in minutes, but that trailer you have sure looks like it could manage.
very nice rig!

Thanks. Yeah it’s pretty tuff. It’s a Russian military trailer. Definitely overbuilt for as small as it is.

How heavy is your tent up there? I wouldn't be as worried about it if it were lower. Tip a little too far one way or the other off camber and the tent being that high could change the center of gravity significantly. I have a rooftop tent, too, and a fairly heavy rack, but it lowers for travel.

As for getting a trailer itself up a trail, if set up right it should track everywhere your vehicle does. Judging from what I can see in the image it doesn't look too far back or too close, so should track well going around corners, etc and be easy enough to back up. Then it's a matter of having enough power to pull it along up and over whatever you need to.

All looks very durable but incredibly top heavy. Find a way to drop the RTT onto the trailer deck and yeah, I'd say good to go anywhere.

There is a parking area at the start, I would leave it there. There is so much traffic depending on which day, much less with pink Jeeps etc. Also a lot of backing up and pulling over to let someone pass, not much room to do it in.
Plenty of videos to watch, Weekends and now even week days it seems busy.

Fun and beautiful trail, but it it tight... Sharp turns and low trees in places.
