That's a new one for me because all I ever see (and buy) is stranded copper.
Besides the internet, any auto parts store, hardware stores, big box home improvement stores, electronics stores, even Walmart, has copper stranded wire.
It's not the same as AC wire, often seen as THHN, but often called primary or hookup wire often rated for no more than 60 volts.
It will work, but I prefer stranded copper.

I think copper clad aluminum is fine for a small vintage trailer with low amp draws. The 14 gauge wire is slightly "less" gauge (think mm) than stranded copper wire, so I would keep the amps on each circuit at 10.
That said, most of us go with stranded copper.
