Step 1: 1 or 2 wheels ?
I read many forum topics about the question... As the road will be a single track for many kilometers, a single wheel trailer seemed to be the best solution. I discovered two main trailer constructors: - Bob (http://www.bobgear.com/ ) - Aevon (http://www.aevon-trailers.com/ ) These constructors use different fixing solutions. Bob trailers use rear axle fixation whereas Aevon ones use seat tube solution. I decided to make a trailer as similar as possible to the Aevon trailer.

Step 7:
I tested it on small rides of about 50 km. I loaded it with my backpack a tent and a sleeping bag and went on dust tracks. The trailer had a good behaviour, following the bike track while turning. I did not weigh it but it is really easy to tow and did not handicap me. i will buy a high volume waterproof bag to put in it. Next step is to use it for what it has been designed : an autonomous trip of several days...
