I pull a 6x12 utility trailer. The biggest issue is to not pull into areas you cant get out of. Have a plan. it may include a way to pop the golf cart off the FW and use it to pull the utility trailer out of the way. Do a practice drill to see what you would have to do if you were boxed into a gas station or something so it isn't a crisis if it happens.
I use google earth all the time to plan my route. I can quickly get a dirt bike off the trailer or use a bicycle to explore camp areas before pulling in. I look at earth to see if there is an area to park before pulling into certain areas. Earth is even useful for things like walmart because some can be very tight if they have been built/squeezed into a smaller area.
Build a very solid hitch. You may not have a lot of tongue weight but you have to consider a constant tugging or jerking effect. I also went with a Rear View Safety wired camera. Not only can you keep an eye on the trailer and it's tires but it's very handy for seeing other vehicles.
Good advice on the hitch. Do you use side cameras with your Rear View Safety setup?
