I received you email with above question and note it was sent to VAC 
list.  As I did not see it on the VAC list I suggest you send it again as 
there are several members who have the experience you need.  I can say 
that the plywood base should be screwed to the frame of the trailer as 
well as to the cross members of the frame.  I think they used self 
tapping screws for this.  The trailer shell is then screwed to the floor 
plus in some places thru the bottom channel of body shell  thru into the 
trailer frame.  To attach the sheel to the floor and frame it may be 
necessary to removed the bottom inside panel to get to the U channel at 
the bottom of the shell.
