Stan thank you. Good info.
There are certainly a lot of trailer builders. Many of them use z channel, hat channel, c channel. I wouldn't want anything but box tubing. Also, all the cheap trailers use .024 skin. That stuff has more waves than an ocean. Get at least .030, better .040. Also, pay attention to the spacing of the cross members, not just on the floor, but the walls and roof also. Another thing to consider is a bar latch installed on the side door, over the RV style door. Much more secure, imho.
And get a trailer with a full perimeter frame. Adds cost but the trailer is just that much stronger. You can tell if a trailer has a full perimeter frame if the step on the side of the trailer pulls out from under the trailer versus when you open the door and there is a lower section of floor you step into then up into the trailer.
