One way would be to see if a magnet would attach to it! Magnets are attracted to steel and to iron but not to aluminum so that would be one way. Is the trailer frame painted or is a raw metal? If it looks like a raw metal that would be a giveaway that it's aluminum since steel rusts.
You could also send me a picture of it and I'd take a look.
