So much for finishing it and getting it out of the garage before the snow and real cold hits.

How about this option: Finish the trailer and then this spring fix all the imperfections with an appropriate filler material and repaint? Or cover in aluminum this spring?

Power sanders either have a soft backing that conforms to an uneven surface slightly and may not give you the fair result you are looking for (tending to sand everywhere equally); or the have a hard back that gives me fits. I will usually create gouges or swirls that are worse than what I was trying to remove with a hard back power sander. UMMV and maybe I have no skills in this regard, but beware.
What I think you need is a long board. I prefer hand powered so that it takes much longer to screw up. The long board will take the highs and leave the lows and is a much better choice for broad flat surfaces. They're easy to make from scrap material, too, or you could step up to a pneumatic one, if you have a big enough air compressor.
