Mereenie Loop Rd and Namatjira Drive in Falcon?

Planning a 3 week trip to NT in June/July. I will be traveling in Falcon wagon AU 2002, I have extra strong springs in the back to lift it up a little, and I will be towing my dad’s ultimate camper trailer.
One part of the trip I am planning is from Ayers rock to Kings Canyon ( Luritja Rd - Ernest Giles Rd) then to Goose Bluff and Redbank Gorge (Mereenie Loop Rd and Namatjira Drive) and then to Alice.
My question is, will I run into problems on the Merrenie loop road and Namatjira Drive.
Now I have traveled a lot (if anybody seen Top Gear Bolivia challenge, I have done those roads for 15 years in 2wd but not in a Falcon, but in VW) on bad roads (in South America and Caribbean), but with smaller 2WD and without trailer. And I know how destructive corrugation can be, however my main worry is mud and sand; are there any sand dunes or deep sand on that road? I gather it is fairly dry on June/July so mud should not worry me right? I have seen all the pictures published on Google Earth, and the roads seem fairly OK, except for potholes and corrugation. Are there any steep climbs with loose sand along the way?
Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
