01 What makes it unique

KZ lists the 2018 Durango 2500 D347BHF at 12,440 lb dry, a GVWR of 14,500 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,060 lb and a pin weight of 2,110 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 40' 6" long and 12' 10" high. KZ prints its tanks as 67 gal fresh, 57 gal grey, 77 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 7 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 D347BHF differs from the other six Durango 2500 floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Dry weight, 12,440 lb: heaviest of seven; next is the D343MBQ (11,790 lb).
  • Black tank, 77 gal: largest of seven; next are the D315RKD, D318RLT and four others (57 gal).
  • Cargo capacity, 2,060 lb: second-smallest of seven, between the D337RET (1,750 lb) and the D315RKD (2,400 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 14.2%: second-smallest of seven, between the D337RET (14%) and the D340FLT and D343MBQ (18.7%).
  • Pin weight, 2,110 lb: second-heaviest of seven, between the D325RLT (2,100 lb) and the D343MBQ (2,300 lb).
  • Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 17%: second-smallest of seven, between the D340FLT (16.8%) and the D315RKD (19%).
  • Length, 40 ft 6 in: second-longest of seven, between the D340FLT (38 ft 11 in) and the D343MBQ (40 ft 7 in).
  • GVWR, 14,500 lb: highest of seven, level with the D343MBQ; next are the D318RLT, D325RLT and D340FLT (13,000 lb).
  • Exterior height, 12 ft 10 in: tallest of seven, level with the D337RET and D343MBQ; next are the D318RLT, D325RLT and D340FLT (12 ft 9 in).

Next to the D343MBQ, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the D347BHF is 650 lb heavier by dry weight, has 650 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 190 lb lighter, is 1 in shorter and has a black tank 20 gal larger; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, fresh tank and grey tank.

Towing it

Published pin weight2,110 lb
Loaded pin weight, rule of thumb2,175–3,625 lb
In-bed fifth-wheel hitch rating needed14,500 lb towed / 3,625 lb pin
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger and the bed and cab load from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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 (14,500 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,625 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).

04 Notes on this floorplan

What KZ does not publish for the Durango 2500 D347BHF

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

Lighter
