UVW on the yellow sticker
Does the UVW number on the yellow sticker attached to the door of the TT include tongue weight or not? Don't want to start another "take it to the CAT scale" thread. Just wondering if UVW includes...

Sounds right. My old trailer (2009 model year, bought in '08) didn't have one, but did have the actual leaving-the-factory weight hand-written on a sticker in one of the cabinet doors. The yellow stickers are nicer though - on the outside, and you know what's included (e.g. full propane) because it's in the regulations.
That said, I agree that the only way to really know what your trailer weighed after loading is to take it to a scale.
No they've been out for a long time. I had one on my 2005 Rockwood Pop Up, had one on my 2007 Starcraft pop up, and had one on my 2008 Jayco Jay Flight travel trailer. Obviously have one on my 2012 Jay Flight. They've been around since the early 2000's.
Nope, at least not universally. My 2009 didn't have a yellow sticker nor a capacities tag on a cabinet door. It only has the GVWR and tire loading sticker on the left front outside corner.
However I weighed the trailer on the way home from the dealer and with full propane tanks, a second dealer installed battery, and all "required" options, it weighed almost exactly the brochure weight. Slightly less in fact.
Brochure empty weight: 6745
Brochure hitch weight: 1090
As weighed: 6720
Hitch weight: 1160
