You have done a great job. And I know you want it to last a long time. I suggest that you use 3/4 treated plywood for the floor and treated plywood for the walls. I know you are far along ,but the OBS is going to delaminate in moist conditions. BC plywood is going to do the same thing. I built a work trailer with the same type of material that was scrap form a job I did. Even painting did not help. I just hate to see someone put so much time in a project and have problems. Even if you sheath it with something the water will get to the plywood.

IDK about using treaded plywood in a living area, but I would not use OSB either like el capitain said it will give you headaches later.
Capt Eddie and highlander-
The OSB side cutout you see is for mockup only. I am going to laminate my own walls from good quality plywood. Using treated ply in a living space is not recommended because of the chemicals off gassing over time. After the cabin is done, I am going to coat the whole trailer inside and out with marine grade epoxy, Kilz sealer/primer and a good exterior house paint. I'm also going to cover/seal all the exterior edges with aluminum RV edging and butyl tape or something like it... as far as the floor only being 1/2", I think it will be plenty sturdy after it is bolted down to the frame. My crossmembers are pretty close together....
Thanks for the constructive comments guys

Nicly done! If you don't mind me asking where did you source you stabilizer jacks and what does a pair like that cost?
I'm glad to see you're getting in some quality shop time. It does a guy good.

Hey Mike-
I ordered mine from Bish's RV in Idaho Falls. They didn't have them in stock so the had a place called Carters RV in Salt Lake drop ship them to me. I got the 31" set. You can go here to see the different models:
