Adhesive is a great option. I've used Loctite PL FastGrab Premium in a similar situation and it makes a very strong if not permanent bond between aluminum and whatever. Unlike some construction adhesives, this particular one is recommended for use on foam insulation, which may or may not be important to you depending on what sort of insulation your trailer has.
Aluminum extrusions in general can often be drilled and screwed and so forth rather similarly to wood. Sheet metal screws would be one option, though they might tend to work loose. Although their appearance isn't always the best, lath screws (Teks is one brand) can be handy because they have big flat heads that secure paneling decently without pulling through the thin plywood.
