There is a real need for a quality trailer. A few issues for you to ponder as the design goes forward.
Where aluminum meets steel, road salt will destroy it quickly if not protected.
Aluminum will conduct heat in or out, so you should have seperation to prevent the heat from traveling thru.
Don't use the cheap leaf spring suspension and junk tires.
The all welded idea might be very difficult to repair resulting in high insurance costs.
Good Luck
