Sorry, I wasn't suggesting a trailer in your case, just using that as example of people sleeping in something as small as your lowered shell. A few posts back you spoke of removing the foam after fiberglassing. I assume you mean the braces. Leaving the rest of the foam in place would make a very light and strong sandwich construction and provide lots of insulation too.
