The really great thing about using an empty platform, beyond building for just one's own needs, is that a builder can get everything better, mechanically, than a typical travel trailer. Being able to put an adequate amount of insulation inside is one of the major benefits. Making plumbing runs and electrical runs in some type of logical order rather than snaking a circuit around a cabinet or putting a pipe on the exterior is definitely an upgrade.
I guess it boils down to which things are important, the cosmetic aspect or the functional one. If done right, a builder can get a lot of both.
