For those who think it is a transporter taking a new trailer to a dealer, expand the picture. The trailer has the typical "old trailer" signs of streaks down the sides and back. Also, the tag on the trailer is not a dealer tag, it is a regular state issued tag.
After doing as you suggested, I have to modify my thinking on this a bit. You are correct in that it does not look like a "new" trailer but it IS a modern trailer and not an antique one. I gave the link to the manufacturer. It does look like it has been sitting for a while and may be a few years old based on the following.
1. The soft spare tire cover has the telltale dark ring showing through where the tire bulges it out.
2. There are "black streaks" running down the back of the trailer.
3. It does not have the whitewall tires that the original ones come with.
I still think it is being transported by someone other than the owner based on the type of truck and the 5th wheel hitch in the back.
The plates are Florida plates and you see this kind of thing regularly down there where a friend from the campground will move your trailer for you from or to storage or to another nearby campground.
I can't imagine an owner towing it like that for very long.
