Coachmen lists the 2023 Clipper LS 806XLS at 1,642 lb dry, a GVWR of 2,897 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,255 lb and a tongue weight of 167 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

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 16-gallon fresh tank is about 133 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 11% of the Clipper LS 806XLS’s 1,255 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,122 lb (187 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Clipper Camping Trailers floorplans the water share runs 11% to 42%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Clipper Camping Trailers Clipper Teardrops 12.0TDXL at 14%. 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 806XLS from 2023. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 806XLS, 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.
