Good question but not having any official documentation to be able to insure it such as make or model etc. would cause many legal issues to say the least so it's not worth the hassle in the long term. The cost involved would probably work out more as well the same as if you bought all spares for a car and built it from scratch.

Cost, caravan + towbar cheap, cheerful, and your away tomorrow. Self build is a hobby in itself. See Teardrop caravans https://www.google.com/search?q=teardrop+caravan+self+build&rlz=1C1CHBF_enGB820GB8........
