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 (8,800 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,320 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).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What KZ does not publish for the Connect C252BH
Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
The weight label every RV trailer carries by law (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120) governs the towing decision, not this page.
05 How it compares
8,210 lb dry and 9,305 lb GVWR, against this model’s 7,070 lb and 8,800 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), 22% of the Connect C252BH’s 1,730 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,356 lb (226 lb per rated berth). Across 13 Connect floorplans the water share runs 17% to 34%, and 7 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Connect C271RBK at 21% and Connect C312RE at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
