I have been following the foam trailer builds on the Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers forum, and the Bug Out Trailer seems to be about the cheapest/easiest to build way you could get on the road. It is 371 lbs dry weight, so towable by just about any car.
The construction is 2" foam covered by canvas. There is a video series on construction which describes the construction method and materials well. The insulation would make for a comfortable space in chilly weather. If I built one it would have a rooftop vent.
I have not seen a cost to build yet, but I suspect it is about $1,000. I started out with a 4x8 cargo trailer camper, and would not go back to a 4x8 trailer unless I had to, they are very small. However, if I lost everything I own tomorrow and needed to start over, I would start with a foamie trailer like this one.
Here is a video of the build process:
