Hmm... What is the difference?

Depends on the state.

The fees are similar, but the plates are not interchangeable here in IllAnnoy.
What's the difference in Florida?
Some states charge for one and not the other, or allow one and not the other on a boulevard, for example.

The only difference in FL is title. Travel trailer needs title (like cars), utility trailer does not. Registration fee per year differs about $10-20. Licence pate fee (yearly) is the same.

Any trailer, utility or otherwise weighing 2,000 lbs or more (empty) is required to be titled in Florida.

Oops, didn't know about.

[EDIT]
Wait. My 2014 Scamp has factory certificate paper mention dry weight 1750 lbs (sic :-). But the title was required to register the trailer in FL.

Love the big back door, especially for loading and bed making. I'd probably not move the cubes inside/out, not wanting to bring dirt inside, instead use camping chairs and small portable table. Love the front table that switches to a lounge. Love the overhead bins for storage and the lights all around. I would consider moving the kitchen area to the front of the trailer, leaving the sides for two twin beds/lounges, and the wide open back for cargo access. Love the jacks that lower in the back.

I do worry that it can really be pulled with a small car. Cute for the video, but highly unlikely on freeways and coming down over mountain passes. Never underestimate the real-life towing ability of your car.

As you know I'm still seriously thinking about it. I want to see one, though, and have not heard back about who in Washington has one.

I think the interior without fur or carpet would be so great for the corgis! vacuum and hose it out and it would be clean- something the Campster never is. And I did finally figure out a workable layout. I would probably not cook inside so would keep it simple. One thing I'd like to see someday is a bunkbed module, though- it would be great to install one to take the grandkids on a trip and then be able to store it away again.

Towing- I suspect it would be fine with a Subaru like mine, and not carrying much. Like most trailers, adding things like fridge, water, lots of cargo ups the weight considerably.
