I frequently contemplate buying a steel cargo trailer with no roof vent and no rear door, and building it out as a TT. I could have a vent on the rear wall and a mini split A/C. Order the trailer with some steel attachment points welded to the roof, and mount solar panels up there without having to puncture the roof.
In spite of popular belief, cargo trailers DO eventually leak.
Do some searches and you will find lots of complaints about cargo trailers leaking at the joints/seams or rivets.
Every rivet hole from the outside is a potential leak and every panel joint/seam is a potential leak.
By the way cargo trailers are clad in Aluminum or FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Panels, not steel. It would take a semi truck to pull a cargo trailer clad in 100% steel.
And yes, you can paint aluminum with proper prep and primer which is what cargo trailer manufacturers do.
