There are several schools of thought on how to seal the bottom of a trailer from water, you will find several threads on the subject on Mikes forum. Here is mine. First I removed the frame (paint it now) and rolled the body onto its side.
I used scraps of 1/8" ply to fill the gaps. When I covered the body mounts, I reached through the large openings and drill through the ply. Before covering the large openings I added a piece of framework. As you work glue in the spacers, clamping them with the body mount bolts.
For the three pieces in the nose I used thicker scrap, and added 1/8" stuff to fill the gaps.
When done it should look kinda like this. Do not mind the mixed match ply it all gets covered in black goo.
