01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Domani DM311BH at 8,300 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 9,800 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,500 lb and a dry hitch weight of 1,110 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 36' 10" 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 4 Domani floorplans KZ lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 3 by unloaded weight, in a range from 6,860 lb (DM241ML) to 9,390 lb (DM323RL). 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 Domani DM311BH, 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 DM311BH differs from the other three Domani floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Sleeping capacity, 8: largest of four; next are the DM241ML, DM281ML and DM323RL (4).
- Dry weight, 8,300 lb: second-heaviest of four, between the DM281ML (7,550 lb) and the DM323RL (9,390 lb).
- GVWR, 9,800 lb: second-highest of four, between the DM281ML (9,270 lb) and the DM323RL (11,000 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 1,500 lb: second-smallest of four, between the DM323RL (1,280 lb) and the DM281ML (1,720 lb).
- Dry tongue weight, 1,110 lb: second-heaviest of four, between the DM281ML (1,040 lb) and the DM323RL (1,360 lb).
- Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.4%: second-smallest of four, between the DM241ML (9.6%) and the DM281ML (13.8%).
- Length, 36 ft 10 in: second-longest of four, between the DM281ML (32 ft 7 in) and the DM323RL (36 ft 11 in).
- Exterior height, 11 ft 6 in: tallest of four, level with the DM323RL; next are the DM241ML and DM281ML (11 ft 4 in).
Next to the DM281ML, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the DM311BH is 750 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 530 lb higher, has 220 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 70 lb heavier, is 4 ft 3 in longer, stands 2 in taller and sleeps four more; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the DM323RL, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the DM311BH is 1,090 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,200 lb lower, has 220 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 250 lb lighter, is 1 in shorter, has a grey tank 38 gal larger and sleeps four more; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

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 (9,800 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,470 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.
03 The Domani floorplan family

04 Notes on this floorplan
What KZ does not publish for the DM311BH
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
7,550 lb UVW and 9,270 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,300 lb and 9,800 lb.
9,390 lb UVW and 11,000 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,300 lb and 9,800 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), 25% of the DM311BH’s 1,500 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,126 lb (141 lb per rated berth). Across 4 Domani floorplans the water share runs 17% to 29%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Domani DM281ML at 22% and Domani DM323RL at 29%. 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
