Have you visited Single Wheel? The Heilite trailer setup might be an ideal platform to base yer trailer on.
Welcome to Single Wheel.com
The maximum trailer length from back end of the tow vehicle is about 7-8' but is really dependent on the distance from the rear wheels. The length of the attachment arm from the trailer to the tow vehicle will depend in how tall yer trailer will be. Obviously, the taller the trailer is, the more length you will need from the tow vehicle. The long length will require you to have some very strong and robust attachment arms if yer trailer has some significant weight to it. Yer attachment points should be as wide as possible to minimize the amount of yaw deflection yer trailer will have.
