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 23-gallon fresh tank is about 191 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 19% of the Clipper LS 128LS’s 1,019 lb cargo capacity, leaving 828 lb (104 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Clipper Camping Trailers floorplans the water share runs 11% to 42%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Clipper Camping Trailers Clipper LS 107LS at 17% and Clipper Camping Trailers Clipper Teardrops 9.0TD at 23%. 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 128LS from 2023. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 128LS, 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.
