Building Your Own Travel Trailer?

I stumbled across this article over at DIYRV: http://www.doityourselfrv.com/diy-camper-trailer-budget/

They took a pop-up trailer, stripped it down to its frame and then built a new one on top. It appears that this is not entirely unheard of - folks taking trailers and rebuilding them or starting from the ground up...

What I'm wondering is, what are the legalities of all this? If one were to build a TT, would one need to have certain legal reviews done to ensure it was road worthy, etc.?
