Considering converting cargo trailer to RV - need advice

I have a 2010 Ford Flex FWD non-Eco Boost V6 which will allow me to tow a maximum of 4500#. Since I'm single and don't need/want a huge travel trailer I've been looking at (approx size) 7' x 14' cargo...

The Flex is not a suitable TV for what you want to do, IMHO... Ford limits the frontal area to 35 sq ft, even with the Class III towing package. They're basically telling you that your Flex will pull a 4500 lb boat, but that much box trailer, with it's wind resistance, is going to be too much.
