I'd probably run string lines ..... down the middle and both sides... then measure the distance between them at all points. I bet you find the trailer itself isn't perfectly square
seeya,

Will have some time this weekend so will see if i can get the drawbar attached, what is the best way to get it lined up correctly ?
I was thinking of clamping a long section of RHS along the center line and then lining up the draw bar to meet in the center ?

Make sure both your draw-bar pieces are the SAME length.
Tac weld the tail end of draw-bar rails to the trailer frame in the same relative (to the axle) position on either side. If the inside tips of the hitch end of the draw-bar are touching, it should be centered. No string lines involved.
If not, your frame is not square.

I was thinking about that after your string idea, as long as its centered in relation to the axle it wont try and dart off like a shopping trolley.

We do string lines also.
Even if your out with the centreline, the trailer won't dart around etc, it'll just tow offset.

Since buying a camper trailer this one has been on hold, got the school holidays off so i thought i'd get back into it.
This 6x4 will just be used for usual home carting duties gardening etc , was going to have a long drawbar but i'm thinking 1200mm will be long enough or should i go longer ?

If you go abit longer (1800 ?), it will definately be easier to reverse the thing
