On newer TTs, since 2009 or so, the yellow sticker is supposed to be accurate.. Not sure about it being a actual "law", but it is a RVIA requirement. This as I understand it is a industry association that sets standards... Membership is voluntary, and the factory has to pay a fee for each unit it builds sporting the RVIA sticker. I think that most if not all manufacturers are members nowadays. In the past that sticker really didn't mean all that much, but the industry has been trying to increase the standards across the board, and it has gotten a LOT better....Maybe someday they will get around to the ST tire issue.:B
It may be an RVIA requirement but it is also a federal regulation set in place about 2009 as well. Compliance therefore isn't voluntary, it's mandatory.
That would be great...If it's true. I have been told differently though.. Got a link to the statute?
here is a link for labeling by the dealer for added equipment

I had a link to the federal register that defined the labeling requirements for CCC, GVWR, allowable axle weight limits, but can't find it now.
What I do know is that when we bought our trailer there were 3 identical trailers on the dealer lot. Amongst the three UVW varied by about 20lbs between the three, and the CCC varied accordingly. Each one had a sticker showing the actual unloaded weight as well as a label with CCC. per the federal reg's, propane is considered part of UVW and in our case UVW+60lbs +CCC= GVWR since the trailer was shipped with empty propane tanks. UVW and CCC are listed to the nearest pound. And the sticker on the side also gave the weight of full fresh and full black/grey tanks and a note that water is considered cargo and must be counted as part of the allowable CCC.
