01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Durango D348BHF at 14,200 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 15,995 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,795 lb and a dry pin weight of 2,580 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 42' 2" long and 13' 4" high with the air conditioner, with 76 gal fresh, 50 gal grey and 50 gal black tanks. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 631 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.
Among the 8 Durango floorplans KZ lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 8 by unloaded weight, in a range from 11,170 lb (D304MKT) to 14,200 lb (D348BHF). 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 Durango D348BHF, 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 D348BHF differs from the other seven Durango floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 14,200 lb: heaviest of eight; next is the D349TBQ (13,380 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 11.2%: smallest of eight; next is the D301RLT (13.2%).
- Dry pin weight as a share of dry weight, 18.2%: smallest of eight; next is the D326RLT (18.3%).
- Sleeping capacity, 11: largest of eight; next is the D349TBQ (8).
- Dry pin weight, 2,580 lb: second-heaviest of eight, between the D304MKT (2,380 lb) and the D349TBQ (2,720 lb).
- Length, 42 ft 2 in: second-longest of eight, between the D326RLT (37 ft 7 in) and the D349TBQ (43 ft).
- GVWR, 15,995 lb: highest of eight, level with the D349TBQ; next is the D339MLT (13,795 lb).
- Grey tank, 50 gal: smallest of eight, level with the D349TBQ; next are the D301RLT, D302RLT and four others (90 gal).
- Cargo capacity, 1,795 lb: shared with the D321RKT; of eight, one smaller and five larger, nearest the D301RLT (1,715 lb) and the D302RLT (1,800 lb).
Next to the D349TBQ, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the D348BHF is 820 lb heavier by dry weight, has 820 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 140 lb lighter, is 10 in shorter and sleeps three more; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, fresh tank, grey 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 (15,995 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,999 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 dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What KZ does not publish for the D348BHF
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
13,380 lb UVW and 15,995 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 14,200 lb and 15,995 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 76-gallon fresh tank is about 631 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 35% of the D348BHF’s 1,795 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,164 lb (106 lb per rated berth). Across 8 Durango floorplans the water share runs 24% to 37%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Durango D321RKT at 35% and Durango D301RLT at 37%. 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

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 17 recall campaigns and 10 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Durango line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
What to look at on a used one. Across the 10 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are structure (50%), tires (20%) and suspension (10%).
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Durango line page.
