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.

Coachmen’s Clipper camping-trailer brochures (filed in Coachmen’s year folders; the brochures print no year) lists 20 Clipper Camping Trailers floorplans; every one with a printed weight has a page here.

A full 27-gallon fresh tank is about 224 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 14% of the Clipper Teardrops 12.0TDMAX’s 1,556 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,332 lb (444 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Clipper Camping Trailers floorplans the water share runs 11% to 42%, and 7 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Clipper Camping Trailers Clipper Teardrops 12.0TDXL at 14% and Clipper Camping Trailers Clipper Teardrops 12.0TDPRO at 17%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

The record at the top of this page is the 12.0TDMAX from 2023. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 12.0TDMAX, and that year is printed here: 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.
