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… sgip2000 wrote:

I'd much rather have a big, ugly box than that POS.- Campfire,
Looking around the European marketplace, some minor features
I like... (some, not all U.S. builders feature these)...
2 year warranties
5 year "no-leaks"
and this little item... (a minor deal , but just seems to add
a little bit more transparency to the comparison process)....
Law requires that the weight data of a caravan be expressed as
“mass in ready-to-start mode” as well as the “permissible total
mass” (DIN EN 1645-2)
Mass in ready-to-start mode is defined as follows:
Mass of the empty vehicle
+ liquid gas bottles (filled to 100%)
+ fresh water tank (filled to 100%)
= Mass in ready-to-start mode

Nice link, it makes my point exactly. These are far more practical and liveable than many other "modern" RVs I've seen.- I don't see a kitchen. Or a fridge.

Indeed... but they put lipstick on this vaporware.
At some point , some features will be mainstream...
Charles
the backstory.... - Interesting, not very practical. The interior reminds me a lot of late model Airstreams. Cool, but very impersonal and "cold".
- Not many concepts ever make it to market… but they do stir imagination and move designs ahead in time…
- I cannot imagine living in something like that.Even if I was the only one in it, would be chlostrophobic.
Best thing about it is the molded roof. Hope that can catch on. Just forget the sky lights.
