And you are blaming the government for this? Yeah everything is their fault.
There have been some good responses if you would read them. The market is driven by demand. There has been a huge increase in "lite" trailers. Weight is being reduced to help mileage for one thing. Reducing weight means you can't put those big tanks in. They have to be supported and that will require heavier framing. I have heard of newer trailers losing a water tank as it drove down the road. Aside from all these "lite" trailers, folks are not camping like they used to. The oven issue is a good example of this. More people don't want an oven, they want a microwave. Well, get a microwave and you will be looking into full hookups, not to mention those air conditioners and the ever important television. More folks wanting more stuff will mean more people will hook up to a water supply. Not as much a need for a larger tank.
If the government now "requires" using full tank values to calculate dry weight figures I would agree and even say they should have done this years ago. How many threads do we read where someone buys a trailer and finds out his TV simply won't get it done? Dry weights need to be more realistic along with tongue weight values. Yeah, that government, it is out to get us all!
