Now, as far as trailers go, if I needed a travel trailer, I would really like to find a fairly new Airstream with a cracked or damaged frame. I would remove the shell, make a new frame and have a great trailer. The frame would take me about a week to make, but I wouldn't call it a semi-monocoque system. I would guarantee that it would last the life of the trailer and beyond. It would weigh about 300# more than the factory trailer and have a higher GVW. The hardest part is removing the shell, and reinstalling it.
I've thought of this myself. While the canopy was off, I'd raise it off the ground a bit, add a battery bay near the axle, and then put it back on. Lots and lots of work though.
