While half inch plywood can be used, it IS heavier in weight than framing with 2x2 and 1/4". The OP already is starting out disadvantaged using a HEAVY cargo trailer compared to a RV trailer of same size..
You can even make bunks from 1/4" plywood with proper 2x2 frame that can easily stand 300 lbs laying on it. Don't try that with 1/2" plywood.

Been there, done that.
