We've had the trailer for 3 years now, and have done little bits at a 
time.  It's still not completely finished, because we have to build in the 
box for the porta-potty which will also be the step-up into the 
gooseneck.  Nearly everything came from Home Depot....some stores don't 
carry those cabinets ready made (the Reno one does, Carson City one 
doesn't)......and the refrigerator/freezer and window we just put in came 
from a wrecked RV.

I think our long wall is 8 1/2 feet or something like that.  The trailer 
has a 16' belly length.  It's a 2 horse gooseneck.  We had linoleum and 
that didn't hold up real well, so just put in the pergo stuff that Costco 
has (it cost $1.50 a foot).  It came out real nice and suits my needs 
perfectly -- though I don't know if I'd want to do it again even though it 
saved us a lot of $$.
