01 What makes it unique
Coachmen lists the 2023 Clipper Sport 108ST at 1,863 lb dry, a GVWR of 2,687 lb, a net carrying capacity of 824 lb and a tongue weight of 187 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 16'-10" 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 108ST 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.
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10%: smallest of twenty; next are the 106, 125ST and two others (10.1%).
- GVWR, 2,687 lb: fifth-lowest of twenty, between the EXPLORE9.0TD (2,245 lb) and the 806XLS (2,897 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 824 lb: sixth-smallest of nineteen, between the ESCAPE9.0TD (691 lb) and the 125ST (845 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 30.7%: sixth-smallest of nineteen, between the V3 (27.3%) and the 128LS (31.6%).
- Tongue weight, 187 lb: sixth-lightest of twenty, between the 106 (174 lb) and the 860LS and 860QS (203 lb).
- Sleeping capacity, 7: shared with the 107LS; of twenty, sixteen smaller and two larger, nearest the 106, 1285SST and four others (6) and the 125ST and 128LS (8).
- Dry weight, 1,863 lb: tenth-lightest of twenty, between the 107LS (1,801 lb) and the 12.0TD (1,964 lb).
- Length, 16 ft: tenth-shortest of twenty, between the 9.0TD, ESCAPE9.0TD and EXPLORE9.0TD (14 ft) and the 12.0TD (16 ft 9 in).
- Fresh tank, 23 gal: shared with the 107LS, 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 107LS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 108ST is 62 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 251 lb lower, has 313 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 21 lb lighter and is 3 ft longer; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank and sleeping capacity.
Next to the 12.0TD (2020 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 108ST is 101 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,063 lb lower, has 962 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 63 lb lighter, is 9 in shorter, has 1 ft 2 in less interior height and sleeps four more.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Coachmen does not publish for the Clipper Sport 108ST
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
1,801 lb dry and 2,938 lb GVWR, against this model’s 1,863 lb and 2,687 lb.
1,964 lb dry and 3,750 lb GVWR, against this model’s 1,863 lb and 2,687 lb.
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), 23% of the Clipper Sport 108ST’s 824 lb cargo capacity, leaving 633 lb (90 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Clipper Camping Trailers floorplans the water share runs 11% to 42%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Clipper Camping Trailers Clipper Teardrops 9.0TD at 23% and Clipper Camping Trailers Clipper Teardrops EXPLORE9.0TD at 25%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits

10 Manuals & documents

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 108ST from 2023. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 108ST, and those 3 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2019 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.
