I guess that’s where we differ with our interpretations. My history with government documents tells me that if the RV trailer is equipped with a propane system, the storage bottles and their contents are part of the vehicle GVW.
NHTSA has a site where one can obtain interpretations from their legal counsel. I’ve included it below. I’ve often found it very useful.
