Conventional TT wood framing (which I believe your Kodiak is one) has a series of floor joists underneath the surface flooring and wood deck sheathing. The floor joists span the center beams of the trailer's frame and to the edge of the floor. The floor sheathing is installed on the top of the joists. Some manufacturers use a composite panel for the floor, a series of wood joists with foam, that whole having wood sheathing on the top and bottom. These panels are usually made on a press table and everything is glued together. They are installed like a joisted floor, spanning the frame.
Walls are installed on top of the floor and can be framed just like the floor, with wooden studs or with composite panels. The roof system has a finished ceiling panel, a truss that spans to the walls, and a wood sheathing on top. The wood sheathing is covered with EPDM, vinyl roofing, or an aluminum panel. There may be some fiberglass roofs but I haven't seen any on a TT.
Hope that helps.
