01 What makes it unique
Coachmen lists the 2021 Clipper Sport 125ST at 2,396 lb dry, a GVWR of 3,241 lb, a net carrying capacity of 845 lb and a tongue weight of 241 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 17' 9" long. Coachmen prints no tank capacity for it.
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 2021 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.
How the 125ST differs from the other nineteen Clipper Camping Trailers floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2021). How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 26.1%: third-smallest of nineteen, between the EXPLORE9.0TD (23.2%) and the 9.0TD (26.9%).
- Length, 17 ft 9 in: fourth-longest of twenty, between the V1 (17 ft 2 in) and the V2 (18 ft 3 in).
- Dry weight, 2,396 lb: fifth-heaviest of twenty, between the V1 (2,394 lb) and the 12.0TDPRO (2,493 lb).
- Sleeping capacity, 8: largest of twenty, level with the 128LS; next are the 107LS and 108ST (7).
- Cargo capacity, 845 lb: seventh-smallest of nineteen, between the 108ST (824 lb) and the 128LS (1,019 lb).
- Tongue weight, 241 lb: eighth-heaviest of twenty, between the 128LS (223 lb) and the EXPLORE9.0TD (245 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.1%: shared with the 106, 128LS and 9.0; of twenty, one smaller and fifteen larger, nearest the 108ST (10%) and the 12.0TDMAX, 12.0TDXL and 806XLS (10.2%).
- GVWR, 3,241 lb: ninth-highest of twenty, between the 128LS (3,223 lb) and the 1285SST (3,296 lb).
- Interior height, 6 ft 10 in: shared with the 106, 860QS and three others; of twenty, thirteen lower and one taller, nearest the 9.0 (6 ft 6 in) and the 12.0TD (7 ft 2 in).
Next to the V1, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 125ST is 2 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 533 lb lower, has 535 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 33 lb lighter, is 7 in longer and sleeps two more; the two publish the same interior height.
Next to the 12.0TDPRO (2023 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 125ST is 97 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 599 lb lower, has 502 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 99 lb lighter, is 9 in longer, has 10 in more interior height and sleeps five more.

Towing it
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 (3,241 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (486 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).

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 125ST from 2021. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 125ST, and those 2 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2019 to 2020. 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.
