My take on this is as a minimum...

-avoid aluminum sided models, it hails here every year. If you want to have a pock marked trailer or dont mind dealing with the hassle of insurance claims and siding replacement, then go ahead with aluminum.

-Having a bathroom is a no brainer.

Really you need to figure out a lot of basics like I listed above first, then maybe we could help you narrow down some of the other items/questions.
We have an aluminum siding trailer and yeah, if it gets hammered with hail, which we see a lot of in Calgary, you will either have to live with the dents or pony up the insurance deductible to get it fixed. Ours got hit last year and the cost to replace the siding was $9000. Of course we just paid our $500 deductible and moved on with our lives but I can see this occurring with regularity and wish I had a hard wall trailer.
