At the risk of getting shot at, here's a question.
Since my own personal and practical experience is, by and large, limited to 3mm angle and car sheet metal, I've never been too concerned about post-treatment of welds as I've not been looking at top structural strength.
But, with something that needs to be structurally super-sound - like the welding on this trailer - doesn't anyone do any post-weld heat treatment, like the books tell you to do to modify the heat-affected zone along the weld?
