it does include the weigh of full propane tanks.
Not necessarily ... with my own 2014 Freedom Express the weight of propane gas that would eventually be added to the tanks by the dealer is not included in the trailer's listed UVW, on current models it is.
49 CFR 571.110 S4.3.5 (dealing with federally required weight labels, and has been in effect for a long time) says "If the vehicle is a recreation vehicle trailer and is equipped with a propane supply, the weight of full propane tanks must be included in the vehicle's unloaded vehicle weight."
