01 What makes it unique

Coachmen lists the 2023 Clipper LS 107LS at 1,801 lb dry, a GVWR of 2,938 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,137 lb and a tongue weight of 208 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 13'-2" long. Coachmen prints its tanks as 23 gal fresh.

Every number on this page was read on 7 Nov 2026 from Coachmen’s Clipper camping-trailer brochures (filed in Coachmen’s year folders; the brochures print no year); model year 2023 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.

How the 107LS differs from the other nineteen Clipper Camping Trailers floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2023). How these ranks are worked out.

  • Length, 13 ft: sixth-shortest of twenty, between the 9.0 (12 ft 10 in) and the 9.0TD, ESCAPE9.0TD and EXPLORE9.0TD (14 ft).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.5%: seventh-largest of twenty, between the V1 (11.4%) and the 12.0TD (12.7%).
  • Sleeping capacity, 7: shared with the 108ST; of twenty, sixteen smaller and two larger, nearest the 106, 1285SST and four others (6) and the 125ST and 128LS (8).
  • GVWR, 2,938 lb: eighth-lowest of twenty, between the 106 (2,904 lb) and the 860LS and 860QS (2,942 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 38.7%: eighth-largest of nineteen, between the V1 (36.6%) and the 9.0 (40.4%).
  • Dry weight, 1,801 lb: ninth-lightest of twenty, between the 106 (1,727 lb) and the 108ST (1,863 lb).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,137 lb: ninth-smallest of nineteen, between the 128LS (1,019 lb) and the 106 (1,177 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 208 lb: ninth-lightest of twenty, between the 860LS and 860QS (203 lb) and the 12.0TDMAX and 12.0TDXL (220 lb).
  • Fresh tank, 23 gal: shared with the 108ST, 1285SST and 128LS; of eleven, four smaller and three larger, nearest the 806XLS, 860LS and two others (16 gal) and the 12.0TDMAX, 12.0TDPRO and 12.0TDXL (27 gal).

Next to the 106 (2019 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 107LS is 74 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 34 lb higher, has 40 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 34 lb heavier, is 4 in longer, has 10 in less interior height and sleeps one more.

Next to the 108ST, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 107LS is 62 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 251 lb higher, has 313 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 21 lb heavier and is 3 ft shorter; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank and sleeping capacity.

Towing it

Published tongue weight208 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb294–441 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed2,938 lb towed / 441 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.

Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (2,938 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (441 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.

Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Coachmen does not publish for the Clipper LS 107LS

Coachmen prints no grey-tank, black-tank for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.

Read the label on the trailer

Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.

05 How it compares

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 23-gallon fresh tank is about 191 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 17% of the Clipper LS 107LS’s 1,137 lb cargo capacity, leaving 946 lb (135 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Clipper Camping Trailers floorplans the water share runs 11% to 42%, and 5 give up more than this one.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

9 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the Clipper LS 107LS. Not published: exterior height, exterior width, grey tank, black tank, slide count, axle count, awning, refrigerator, air conditioning.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA files neither recalls nor complaints under the name Clipper Camping Trailers. That is a filing convention and not a clean record — the roster sits under the parent line, Clipper.

Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Clipper line page.

Earlier model years

The record at the top of this page is the 107LS from 2023. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 107LS, and those 2 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2020 to 2021. The figures change from year to year, so check the year on the trailer’s own label. A field a year’s brochure does not print reads “Not published” and is never filled from another year.
