Your being a little too vague to provide any kind of meaning design suggestions. 48 feet with complex geometry, all I can suggest is to go as large as you can stand. Additionally, without a simple vector analysis of strength, after building, you might proof load the trailer before taking it out on the road. Normally the proof load if 1.5 x the maximum working load.
