    do you mean a metal chassis trailer with a wooden box on top?
    if so, then prob best to use an old caravan chassis as your basis to start off.
    much quicker and cheaper. you can get them free sometimes.
    as the standard size for plywood is 8x4 ft. then use that as a start guide for the box.
    if thats too big then cut plywood in half. ie 4x4 ft.
    Get some gorm.

    Probably best to buy a cheap one somewhere rather than build one cos you will have lots of rules and regulations to make it road legal im afraid
