1900 lbs finished trailer wight is doable. But you will have to watch your weight on each component.
My trailer body is 12' long, 5' tall and about 5½' wide. Came in at about 1900lbs. And I would not even consider taking it out on the road without brakes.
Like Dan said, Option one is the better choice. Option 2's tongue weight is just to much.
Good luck with your build.
and remember we love lots of

I estimated it based on a 1/2" floor (3/4" in the standing area), 1/2" and 1/4" for the galley with 5/8" face frames. The walls will be 3/4" cedar studs with foam insulation, 1/4" outer skin and 1/8" inner skin. The roof will have the same plywood skins and 1-1/2" "joists". The finish will be epoxy and paint.
