Check fire restrictions.
Sequoia NF was advertising No Campfires last week.
And, I believe you have to have a Fire Permit even to have a stove outside.
Fishing in the Kern is non-existent right now, since the water is so warm (70+ in Kernville) the hatchery dumped all the plant trout a couple of weeks ago. Higher elevations might have some goldens if you're lucky.
Lots of thunder and lightning last week, rain on Monday 7/22, enough to turn the Kern into chocolate milk for the entire week we were there.
You going in thru Kernville/Mtn 99 side, or from 395 up Sherman Pass Rd/ Kennedy Mdws Rd/ 9 mile Canyon Rd? Curious as to what the road up from 395 is like w/ a trailer.
No problem for a trailer the size you have, we have a 24 footer and have done it numerous times. Coming down is a thriller, just keep it in low gear and cruise. Larger rigs sometimes have a problem with finding a campground site, but in the overflow areas or primitive camping they usually can fit. I have done it 2 times in our old gas truck as well.
Good luck
