01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Durango Gold G382MBF at 15,700 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 17,995 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 2,295 lb and a dry pin weight of 2,910 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 42' 5" long and 13' 6" high with the air conditioner, with 76 gal fresh, 90 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 Gold floorplans KZ lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 8 by unloaded weight, in a range from 13,400 lb (G310RLQ) to 15,700 lb (G382MBF). 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 Gold G382MBF, 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 G382MBF differs from the other seven Durango Gold floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 15,700 lb: heaviest of eight; next is the G388FLS (15,330 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 2,295 lb: smallest of eight; next is the G388FLS (2,665 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 12.8%: smallest of eight; next is the G388FLS (14.8%).
- Dry pin weight as a share of dry weight, 18.5%: smallest of eight; next are the G366FBQ and G390MLQ (19.9%).
- Sleeping capacity, 8: largest of eight; next are the G388FLS and G393MKF (6).
- Dry pin weight, 2,910 lb: third-lightest of eight, between the G390MLQ (2,900 lb) and the G310RLQ (2,960 lb).
- GVWR, 17,995 lb: highest of eight, level with the G359ROQ, G384MSQ and G388FLS; next are the G366FBQ, G390MLQ and G393MKF (17,500 lb).
- Length, 42 ft 5 in: shared with the G390MLQ; of eight, four shorter and two longer, nearest the G384MSQ (42 ft 3 in) and the G388FLS and G393MKF (42 ft 11 in).
Next to the G388FLS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the G382MBF is 370 lb heavier by dry weight, has 370 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 200 lb lighter, is 6 in shorter, has a black tank 50 gal smaller and sleeps two more; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and grey 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 (17,995 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (4,499 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 G382MBF
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
15,330 lb UVW and 17,995 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 15,700 lb and 17,995 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), 27% of the G382MBF’s 2,295 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,664 lb (208 lb per rated berth). Across 8 Durango Gold floorplans the water share runs 19% to 27%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Durango Gold G388FLS at 24%. 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 Gold G393MKF, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 42 ft 5 in vs 42 ft 11 in; sleeps 8 vs 6; dry weight 15,700 lb vs 14,650 lb; GVWR 17,995 lb vs 17,500 lb; cargo capacity 2,295 lb vs 2,850 lb; hitch weight 2,910 lb vs 3,050 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

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.
