I'm assuming there are regulations that require them to include the batteries and propane tanks from the plants
The only thing I've seen as far as regulations is in the 571 FMVSS which says;
571.110
S9.3.2 The weight value for load carrying capacity on the RV load carrying capacity labels (Figures 3 and 4) must be displayed to the nearest kilogram with conversion to the nearest pound and must be such that the vehicle does not exceed its GVWR when loaded with the stated load carrying capacity. The UVW and the GVWR used to determine the RV's load carrying capacity must reflect the weights and design of the motor home or RV trailer as configured for delivery to the dealer/service facility. If applicable, the weight of full propane tanks must be included in the RV's UVW and the weight of on-board potable water must be treated as cargo."
Looks like propane for sure.
However is that for two twenty lb bottles or two 30 lb'ers or a optional 100 lb bottle as one poster found out.
Also depending on the TT type can be battery size and the number of batteries can affect a small trailer UVW.
The manufacture can change a units base dry weights for each production run. Building materials and engineering changes even in the same models may contribute to UVW differences.
