2027 KZ ConnectC261RB

KZ lists the 2027 Connect C261RB at 6,675 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 8,300 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,625 lb and a dry hitch weight of 850 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 30' 4" long and 11' 2" high with the air conditioner, with 45 gal fresh, 76 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 3 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 C261RB, 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.
