Any headway?
Any headway?
For what it is worth...
It seems like you have what you need on the frame, I think the question you need to ask your self is what you want. Perhaps a couple outings with the new setup prior to coating it might be beneficial. Some people have added 2" hitches at different points around the trailer to use as mount points for everything from an extraction point to bbq holder to light stand. Others have added mounting tabs underneath, just in case.
I would assume you have done your homework, but when I get to building my trailer, I think I am going to stay with paint instead of powder coat. It is simply more easily repaired when it gets chipped or scratched.
Question. How heavy is that lid? With the rack and original lid, I would think it is pretty heavy. What is the configuration of the original lid? Did you consider adjustable feet on the rack so it you flip it over on uneven ground it would be supported?
It is coming along sweet!
You may want to check this out. I had it on my old boat trailer. It worked well.

Oh, thanks for the other information. I was actually wondering what the lid/floor was made of itself. Is it a frame with sheetmetal? some kind of ply composite?
Looking nice. Are you planning on adding a Kitchen? Didn't see one
How did the balance of the trailer work out, loaded and unloaded? I am thinking of something in the same configuration.
