Bontrager’s Standard model pages on bontrageroutdoors.com (no model year stated) lists 5 Standard floorplans; every one with a printed weight has a page here.

A full 18-gallon fresh tank is about 149 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 15% of the Standard 15RE’s 980 lb cargo capacity, leaving 831 lb (277 lb per rated berth). Across 5 Standard floorplans the water share runs 11% to 21%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Standard 15FK at 11% and Standard 17FD at 19%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
