While I am far from being a 'poster boy' for hauling correctly a word of caution. If a motor vehicle is involved in an accident on the highway resulting in serious injury or loss of life the lawsuits generally include the manufactorer of the truck, trailer, and of course the driver. That's why we pay liability auto insurance, to cover our risk as a driver. If you build your own trailer you are assuming the role of a towed vehicle manufactorer with ALL the liability this entails. Remember, you dont have to be at fault in an accident, if someone hits you they can still sue the maker of the trailer, especially if soemthing about it is non conforming. I used to build a lot of stuff like this for people at work, still do some but I stamp in bold letters into the steel, NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE/FARM-OFF ROAD USE ONLY.
