My lovely bride works at a lumber store, and I asked her the same question. I was mostly concerned about its acceptance of a finish like exterior paint. For its structure and strength, I would not hesitate to use it, but she said it does not paint well. Plus it has a rough looking finish. Now if you are covering it with something, that's a different story, but I don't know how well it glues up.
My wife's advice, however, was, "If you're going to build a trailer, we're going to use the right materials."
