01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Connect C303RK at 8,510 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 10,755 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 2,245 lb and a dry hitch weight of 1,110 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 36' long and 11' 6" 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 9 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 C303RK, 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. KZ marks the floorplan as new.
How the C303RK differs from the other nine Connect floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- GVWR, 10,755 lb: highest of ten; next is the C313MK (10,735 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 2,245 lb: largest of ten; next is the C271RL (2,060 lb).
- Dry weight, 8,510 lb: second-heaviest of ten, between the C302FBK (8,010 lb) and the C313MK (8,780 lb).
- Dry tongue weight, 1,110 lb: second-heaviest of ten, between the C313MK (1,060 lb) and the C282FKK (1,130 lb).
- Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13%: second-largest of ten, between the C261RB and C312RE (12.7%) and the C282FKK (15%).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 20.9%: third-largest of ten, between the C271RBK (20.6%) and the C221ML (22.7%).
- Length, 36 ft: third-longest of ten, between the C302FBK (35 ft 3 in) and the C312RE (36 ft 1 in).
- Exterior height, 11 ft 6 in: tallest of ten, level with the C312RE and C313MK; next are the C271RBK, C271RL and two others (11 ft 4 in).
- Grey tank, 76 gal: largest of ten, level with the C261RB, C271RBK and two others; next are the C221ML, C241RLK and three others (38 gal).
- Sleeping capacity, 5: shared with the C313MK; of ten, three smaller and five larger, nearest the C271RL and C312RE (4) and the C241RLK, C261RB and three others (6).
Next to the C302FBK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the C303RK is 500 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,535 lb higher, has 1,035 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 230 lb heavier, is 9 in longer, stands 2 in taller and sleeps one fewer; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the C313MK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the C303RK is 270 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 20 lb higher, has 290 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 50 lb heavier, is 4 in shorter and has a grey tank 38 gal larger; 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 (10,755 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,613 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 C303RK
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
8,010 lb UVW and 9,220 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,510 lb and 10,755 lb.
8,780 lb UVW and 10,735 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,510 lb and 10,755 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 571.120 S10.4.2), 17% of the C303RK’s 2,245 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,872 lb (374 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Connect floorplans the water share runs 17% to 33%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Connect C271RL at 18%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
