Mate you will get a heap of replies either way, really IF you can do it depends on if the trailer is up to it, heavy duty, good springing, clearance, tyres, assume it's just a trailer, not a camper.
Then you have to asses will it be an issue with dunes, cresting, draw bar causing damage / limiting ability to cross dunes reasonably easy each time (
well over 1000 times !).
East - West you are taking on the biggest dunes at the start, with full load of fuel, food, water, etc too.
Can trailer tyres can be deflated to say 15psi and take the pressure of conditions ?
Ie. good AT tyres, preferably LT construction.
Good spare, or compatible with the 80 wheels / tyres ?
I used to think that trailers should not be crossing the simmo, but then families would not be able to enjoy that part of our country . . . and FOR SURE, a
well set up, suitable trailer and tow vehicle, coupled with proper tyre pressures and driver skills, it is no probs to do such a trip.
The problem comes with any of the above not being present, then it can cause issues for you and others out there.
When are you planning of doing going ?
Have a great trip, just planning my crossing same way for July '15.
