Coachmen lists the 2023 Clipper Teardrops 9.0TD at 1,587 lb dry, a GVWR of 2,172 lb, a net carrying capacity of 585 lb and a tongue weight of 172 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.

How the 9.0TD 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.

• GVWR, 2,172 lb: third-lowest of twenty, between the ESCAPE9.0TD (2,150 lb) and the EXPLORE9.0TD (2,245 lb).
• Cargo capacity, 585 lb: fourth-smallest of nineteen, between the EXPLORE9.0TD (521 lb) and the ESCAPE9.0TD (691 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 26.9%: fourth-smallest of nineteen, between the 125ST (26.1%) and the V3 (27.3%).
• Tongue weight, 172 lb: fourth-lightest of twenty, between the 806XLS (167 lb) and the 106 (174 lb).
• Dry weight, 1,587 lb: fifth-lightest of twenty, between the 860LS and 860QS (1,577 lb) and the 806XLS (1,642 lb).
• Fresh tank, 16 gal: smallest of eleven, level with the 806XLS, 860LS and EXPLORE9.0TD; next are the 107LS, 108ST and two others (23 gal).
• Sleeping capacity, 2: smallest of twenty, level with the 9.0, ESCAPE9.0TD and EXPLORE9.0TD; next are the 12.0TD, 12.0TDMAX and two others (3).

• Length, 14 ft: shared with the ESCAPE9.0TD and EXPLORE9.0TD; of twenty, six shorter and eleven longer, nearest the 107LS (13 ft) and the 108ST (16 ft).

Next to the 860LS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 9.0TD is 10 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 770 lb lower, has a tongue weight 31 lb lighter, is 2 ft longer and sleeps two fewer; the two publish the same interior height and fresh tank.

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), 23% of the Clipper Teardrops 9.0TD’s 585 lb cargo capacity, leaving 452 lb (226 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Clipper Camping Trailers floorplans the water share runs 11% to 42%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Clipper Camping Trailers Clipper LS 128LS at 19% and Clipper Camping Trailers Clipper Sport 108ST 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 9.0TD from 2023. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 9.0TD, 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.
