My main concern would be the amount of weight the

I think many of us would be worried about that in a classic computer context,
too :-) Those trailers aren't particularly sturdy.
Gut the thing, pull the floors out, strengthen the chassis, build an interior
2x4" frame, lay down stronger floors, line the walls / ceiling and make the
joints tight... whilst also worrying about AC, heating, and presumably some
form of fire suppression crap...
Unless it *has* to be a trailer, I think I'd be looking at a panel truck or
bus as a donor rather than a trailer - stronger from the outset and with its
own motive power source (plus it'd be easier to add electricity generation,
power the AC etc.)
Going off-topic for a minute, I'm very interested
in frugal living
(although I don't always live it) and I've been trying to think of
unique ways to get a house without a mortgage.
Live on a boat or bus. The former's pretty common in the UK, and the latter in
NZ...
