01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Connect C241RLK at 6,120 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 7,265 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,145 lb and a dry hitch weight of 730 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 28' 11" long and 11' 2" high with the air conditioner, with 45 gal fresh, 38 gal grey and 38 gal black tanks. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 374 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.
Among the 10 Connect floorplans KZ lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 2 by unloaded weight, in a range from 5,660 lb (C221ML) to 8,780 lb (C313MK). Every figure in that comparison is KZ’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from KZ’s own floorplan page for the Connect C241RLK, whose floorplan drawing KZ labels 2027. KZ notes that its UVW reflects a rolling average for the model and that your trailer will vary with optional equipment.
How the C241RLK differs from the other nine Connect floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- GVWR, 7,265 lb: lowest of ten; next is the C221ML (7,320 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 1,145 lb: smallest of ten; next is the C302FBK (1,210 lb).
- Dry weight, 6,120 lb: second-lightest of ten, between the C221ML (5,660 lb) and the C261RB (6,675 lb).
- Dry tongue weight, 730 lb: second-lightest of ten, between the C221ML (640 lb) and the C271RL (790 lb).
- Length, 28 ft 11 in: second-shortest of ten, between the C221ML (26 ft 5 in) and the C261RB (30 ft 4 in).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 15.8%: third-smallest of ten, between the C282FKK (14.2%) and the C312RE (17.7%).
- Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.9%: fourth-smallest of ten, between the C271RL (11.7%) and the C313MK (12.1%).
- Exterior height, 11 ft 2 in: lowest of ten, level with the C221ML and C261RB; next are the C271RBK, C271RL and two others (11 ft 4 in).
- Grey tank, 38 gal: smallest of ten, level with the C221ML, C271RL and two others; next are the C261RB, C271RBK and three others (76 gal).
- Sleeping capacity, 6: largest of ten, level with the C261RB, C271RBK and two others; next are the C303RK and C313MK (5).
Next to the C221ML, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the C241RLK is 460 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 55 lb lower, has 515 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 90 lb heavier, is 2 ft 6 in longer and sleeps four more; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the C261RB, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the C241RLK is 555 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,035 lb lower, has 480 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 120 lb lighter, is 1 ft 5 in shorter and has a grey tank 38 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (7,265 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,090 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What KZ does not publish for the C241RLK
KZ’s page prints no axle count and no price against this floorplan, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling floorplan, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
5,660 lb UVW and 7,320 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 6,120 lb and 7,265 lb.
6,675 lb UVW and 8,300 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 6,120 lb and 7,265 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 45-gallon fresh tank is about 374 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 33% of the C241RLK’s 1,145 lb cargo capacity, leaving 772 lb (129 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Connect floorplans the water share runs 17% to 33%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Connect C302FBK at 31%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
