You seem to have answered your own design challenge ;)
Not a bad use for the old Sargasso. I did an OR Lt Cycle haul vehicle
Tuglet -- Light Cycle, Off-Road suspension, Medium Cycle power plant w/PC, 10-pt CA (Power Plant), 2 Motorcycle Off-Road Heavy-Duty tires, Cyclist w/BA and 10-pt CA, Explosive Light Hitch w/5-pt armor (Tow Capacity 1092 lbs.), Plastic Armor: F13, B10, 2 5-pt Cycle Wheelguards, Acceleration 10, Top Speed 157.5, HC 2, 798 lbs., $3695
I'd go for your trailer, just add OR tires.

The challenge: Is it possible to design a usable cargo hauler on a Mini-Van trailer body? ("Usable" here defined as "at least 100 lbs. per cargo space available".)
This is what I came up with, just using "basic" weapons and items. The armor is about what one would expect for such a small vehicle -- that is: Weak; but the tires are well-protected, so one doesn't necessarily have to ditch the trailer the first time someone looks at it. The optional design is for those areas where leaving dropped weapons on the road offends local law-enforcement.
As a bonus, here's a likely tow vehicle:
_Sargasso Hauler_: Subcompact; XH chas.; Hv. susp.; Md. PP [1,400 PF]; 4x PR tire; Driver. MG [F]; Lt. Hitch. Armor: F: 20; L, R, B: 15; T: 9; U: 10; 4x 5-pt. WG. $5,724; 2,760 lbs. Acc. 10; TS: 120; HC: 3.
Decently armored for a Sub, even with the addition of a Hitch and WGs. Its weakness is attacks from the sides; 'tis a pity Subs cannot use Turrets which carry actual weapons....
