01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2018 Durango 2500 D315RKD at 10,100 lb dry, a GVWR of 12,500 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,400 lb and a pin weight of 1,920 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 34' 6" long and 12' 8" high. KZ prints its tanks as 67 gal fresh, 97 gal grey, 57 gal black.
Among the 7 Durango 2500 floorplans KZ’s Durango 2500 brochure (filed in KZ’s 2018 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 1 from the lightest, in a range from 10,100 lb (Durango 2500 D315RKD) to 12,440 lb (Durango 2500 D347BHF). Every figure in that comparison is KZ’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from KZ’s Durango 2500 brochure (filed in KZ’s 2018 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year); model year 2018 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.
How the D315RKD differs from the other six Durango 2500 floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 10,100 lb: lightest of seven; next is the D325RLT (10,290 lb).
- Length, 34 ft 6 in: shortest of seven; next is the D318RLT (34 ft 11 in).
- Exterior height, 12 ft 8 in: lowest of seven; next are the D318RLT, D325RLT and D340FLT (12 ft 9 in).
- Pin weight, 1,920 lb: second-lightest of seven, between the D340FLT (1,780 lb) and the D318RLT (2,030 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 2,400 lb: third-smallest of seven, between the D347BHF (2,060 lb) and the D340FLT (2,430 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 19.2%: third-largest of seven, between the D340FLT and D343MBQ (18.7%) and the D318RLT (20.3%).
- Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 19%: third-smallest of seven, between the D347BHF (17%) and the D337RET (19.1%).
- GVWR, 12,500 lb: lowest of seven, level with the D337RET; next are the D318RLT, D325RLT and D340FLT (13,000 lb).
- Grey tank, 97 gal: largest of seven, level with the D340FLT; next are the D318RLT, D325RLT and three others (57 gal).
Next to the D325RLT, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the D315RKD is 190 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 500 lb lower, has 310 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 180 lb lighter, is 2 ft 2 in shorter, stands 1 in lower and has a grey tank 40 gal larger; the two publish the same 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 (12,500 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,125 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, 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 figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What KZ does not publish for the Durango 2500 D315RKD
KZ prints no interior height, sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, 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
10,290 lb dry and 13,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 10,100 lb and 12,500 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 67-gallon fresh tank is about 556 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 23% of the Durango 2500 D315RKD’s 2,400 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,844 lb. Across 7 Durango 2500 floorplans the water share runs 21% to 32%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Durango 2500 D340FLT at 23% and Durango 2500 D347BHF at 27%. 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 Durango 2500 D340FLT, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 34 ft 6 in vs 38 ft 11 in; dry weight 10,100 lb vs 10,570 lb; GVWR 12,500 lb vs 13,000 lb; cargo capacity 2,400 lb vs 2,430 lb; hitch weight 1,920 lb vs 1,780 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
