Tesla model 3 trailer

HI, I am buying a Tesla model 3 and I would like to get a trailer to use for picking up larger items like drywall and garbage runs to the dump. Ideally the trailer would be able to handle a 4x8 sheet of plywood. I would also like to tow it from Toronto to Florida when we go south on vacation. I am currently building what I call a "truck cap boat" which is a truck cap that can be flipped ove and used as a boat. The idea is that it would go on the back of my pick-up truck, but now that we are getting a Tesla I am wondering if it would be possible to get a utility trailer with 18"- 24" sides and place the boat on top.

Of course the big question is how much will it kill my range? Will it be impracticle to tow it to Florida?

Any ideas on the % hit I will take on range? What would be a good candiate trailer? Im thinking something with larger tires that will not have a problem dealing with highway speeds. One axle or two?
