The front and back actually only overhang the trailer frame by a few inches at the bottom. A foot or so up, though, they overhang a foot. No reason I couldn't have dropped straight down and gotten more length at the bottom; I just liked the curves.
The floor is built on a 4 inch thick torsion box that extends out over the wheels. The 4 inches gives me enough height that I don't have the wheels poking into the sleeping area. The torsion box is 1/4 ply on the bottom, then 1x4, then 3/8 inch ply for the floor. The 3/8 ply is plenty stiff to sleep on.
