Another alternative may be to look for a pop-up in usable condition and convert what you have there into a utility trailer. I have one that's been converted that is about that size. It has carried a lot of stuff. It met it's match at a full pallet of landscape blocks. The floor carried the load but the tires were against the underneath, they just skidded when I tried to move. Moved a few block to the truck and all was well.
If you choose to rebuild that trailer, you may wish to think about a heavy tarp as a roof, ala Conestoga wagons. That would be less weight than the topper shell, probably, allow for more headroom, and look better in the result.
I have an old army olive-duck tarp that would be perfect for this but I could see a new white canvas winning the appearance award.
