Build Your Own Travel Trailer
Thought is to take a 15' to 20' long landscape trailer as the base to build a custom travel trailer. Anyone ever build their own trailer? Thoughts, ideas, comments, all appreciated.

"Landscape" trailer like this?
Yeah, forget about it.
Take a good hard look at the steel rail above the deck..
THAT is your "frame"..
If you cut it or remove it the entire trailer will sag over time.
Those trailers are built way to skimpy to build a RV on unless you want to spend a considerable amount of time and money revamping it with much heavier steel framing.
CARGO trailer is what you want to start with, YES they are heavy and YES, they are much more expensive but it will give you a good sturdy platform to build on and not to mention you skip the box building portion altogether!
