I plan on just taking my time.
Yeah, whenever I drive it pulling my trailer, I just take is slow and steady on the downhills. Typically I try not to exceed 80kph in low gear with the engine doing as much braking as possible. Also, just prior to the downhill I'll dial in a bit more trailer brake.

It usually results in a queue of impatient drivers behind me, but I don't care, knowing that it's only for a few kilometers.
