I don’t think that is much different or necessarily better… all trailers here have standards for these things to…
To determine the CCC of your trailer CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity), you subtract from the GVWR the following items… UVW as delivered, full fresh water weight (including that for the water heater), and full LP gas weight... also deducted are any dealer options added to the trailer totaling the lesser of 100 pounds or I believe (without looking it up) 4% or 5% of the trailers UVW… all these figures should be already calculated and included in the required trailer sticker… even dealer added options should include a new updated sticker or a added sticker…
Remember that CCC is an important number… optional accessories or equipment not included in the UVW as delivered will take up part of the Cargo Carrying Capacity...
Except for the battery, they should be at a glance usable numbers… I think they are silent on the battery weight, but the battery isn’t included with the new trailer and I believe is assumed it is a after delivery add on… still deducted from the CCC but not included in the sticker weights (why??? I don’t know)…
These sane rules were in effect in 2003 when I bought mine and if they have been updated it would probably be even easier for the end user not harder…
