01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Connect C313MK at 8,780 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 10,735 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,955 lb and a dry hitch weight of 1,060 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 36' 4" long and 11' 6" 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 10 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 C313MK, 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 C313MK differs from the other nine Connect floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 8,780 lb: heaviest of ten; next is the C303RK (8,510 lb).
- Length, 36 ft 4 in: longest of ten; next is the C312RE (36 ft 1 in).
- GVWR, 10,735 lb: second-highest of ten, between the C312RE (9,560 lb) and the C303RK (10,755 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 1,955 lb: third-largest of ten, between the C271RBK (1,810 lb) and the C271RL (2,060 lb).
- Dry tongue weight, 1,060 lb: third-heaviest of ten, between the C312RE (1,000 lb) and the C303RK (1,110 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 18.2%: fifth-smallest of ten, between the C312RE (17.7%) and the C261RB (19.6%).
- Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.1%: fifth-smallest of ten, between the C241RLK (11.9%) and the C271RBK (12.4%).
- Exterior height, 11 ft 6 in: tallest of ten, level with the C303RK and C312RE; next are the C271RBK, C271RL and two others (11 ft 4 in).
- Grey tank, 38 gal: smallest of ten, level with the C221ML, C241RLK and two others; next are the C261RB, C271RBK and three others (76 gal).
- Sleeping capacity, 5: shared with the C303RK; of ten, three smaller and five larger, nearest the C271RL and C312RE (4) and the C241RLK, C261RB and three others (6).
Next to the C303RK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the C313MK is 270 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 20 lb lower, has 290 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 50 lb lighter, is 4 in longer 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 (10,735 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,610 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 C313MK
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
8,510 lb UVW and 10,755 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,780 lb and 10,735 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), 19% of the C313MK’s 1,955 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,582 lb (316 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Connect floorplans the water share runs 17% to 33%, and 7 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Connect C271RL at 18% and Connect C271RBK at 21%. 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
Closest sibling: the Connect C312RE, nearest on the published figures.

They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
