When I've laid up fiberglass it quit smelling pretty quick - almost as fast as it cures.
I would think that if you don't notice any smell when your looking at one then it's probably done.
X2 per the fiberglass itself...very little outgassing/VOS's once the glass is cured.
BUT
Not every molded fiberglass trailer is ALL fiberglass. Some have interior fixtures made mostly of the same material as the shell, and would become non-reactive just as quickly.
Others are sort of half-n-half, with fiberglass shells but conventionally finished interiors. In those, glues and solvents used for such things as interior wood cabinetry, carpets, wallcoverings etc. can be important sources of outgassing.
But no worse than the average stick-built trailer, of course.
