01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Durango Gold G384MSQ at 14,900 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 17,995 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 3,095 lb and a dry pin weight of 3,050 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 42' 3" 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 5 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 G384MSQ, 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 G384MSQ differs from the other seven Durango Gold floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity, 3,095 lb: third-largest of eight, between the G390MLQ (2,950 lb) and the G310RLQ (3,100 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 17.2%: third-largest of eight, between the G390MLQ (16.9%) and the G310RLQ (18.8%).
- Dry weight, 14,900 lb: fourth-heaviest of eight, between the G393MKF (14,650 lb) and the G359ROQ (15,100 lb).
- Dry pin weight as a share of dry weight, 20.5%: fourth-largest of eight, between the G388FLS (20.3%) and the G393MKF (20.8%).
- Length, 42 ft 3 in: fourth-shortest of eight, between the G359ROQ (41 ft 8 in) and the G382MBF and G390MLQ (42 ft 5 in).
- GVWR, 17,995 lb: highest of eight, level with the G359ROQ, G382MBF and G388FLS; next are the G366FBQ, G390MLQ and G393MKF (17,500 lb).
- Dry pin weight, 3,050 lb: shared with the G393MKF; of eight, four lighter and two heavier, nearest the G310RLQ (2,960 lb) and the G388FLS (3,110 lb).
Next to the G393MKF, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the G384MSQ is 250 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 495 lb higher, has 245 lb more cargo capacity, is 8 in shorter and sleeps two fewer; the two publish the same dry pin weight, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the G359ROQ, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the G384MSQ is 200 lb lighter by dry weight, has 200 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 100 lb lighter and is 7 in longer; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.

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 G384MSQ
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
14,650 lb UVW and 17,500 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 14,900 lb and 17,995 lb.
15,100 lb UVW and 17,995 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 14,900 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), 20% of the G384MSQ’s 3,095 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,464 lb (616 lb per rated berth). Across 8 Durango Gold floorplans the water share runs 19% to 27%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Durango Gold G310RLQ at 20% and Durango Gold G390MLQ at 21%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
