At least Sundowner LQ is registered (or can be) as an RV. Hence you fall 
under the exemptions of RV's. Most of the other LQ trailer companies 
seem to be working in the the direction of getting their trailers 
certified as RV's if not already there.

There are some strange exemptions out there. If you have a pickup style 
bed on a truck - you don't have to pay excise tax in FL. However if you 
have one of the RV hauling type beds you do. In FL the plates for a 50 K 
Sundowner LQ trailer will cost you about 1/2 of what the plates for a 
two horse tag along cost since the Sundowner is an RV.
