Up here in my section of MA., you would have to do 12" centers even on a house deck when you use Trex! I am not familiar with decking with Trex. I do know that it is NON structural! I think I'd stay away from it for a Car trailer but a short utility trailer should sneak by.. My own utility trailer has the usual low grade 2 x 6 for a deck, only trapped on the ends and is a dozen years old and still looks great. What I removed had been bolted in and around each bolt, the holes wallowed out with rot and the bolts were rotted from being wet around the wood.
