The biggest boogeyman with wood and water for most folks is mold. If the wood is allowed to dry and the conditions are absent for the growth, you won't have any mold. Folks are way too paranoid about mold, not every kind is injurious and we've lived in it's presence for years.
As for resale value, if you maintain the trailer over the years and it holds up to your use, even a disclosed and remediated water problem from a few years back shouldn't make it of any less value, IMO.
