01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Durango Half-Ton D230RDD at 8,485 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 10,500 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 2,015 lb and a dry pin weight of 1,625 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 29' long and 12' 6" high with the air conditioner, with 55 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 457 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.
Among the 8 Durango Half-Ton floorplans KZ lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 2 by unloaded weight, in a range from 8,350 lb (D232MLD) to 10,150 lb (D296BHT). 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 Half-Ton D230RDD, 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. KZ marks the floorplan as new.
How the D230RDD differs from the other seven Durango Half-Ton floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry pin weight as a share of dry weight, 19.2%: largest of eight; next is the D283RLT (17.5%).
- Dry weight, 8,485 lb: second-lightest of eight, between the D232MLD (8,350 lb) and the D250RST (8,760 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 19.2%: third-largest of eight, between the D286BHD (19%) and the D250RST (20.3%).
- Dry pin weight, 1,625 lb: third-heaviest of eight, between the D290RLT (1,610 lb) and the D256RKT (1,660 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 2,015 lb: fourth-smallest of eight, between the D283RLT (1,950 lb) and the D290RLT (2,145 lb).
- GVWR, 10,500 lb: lowest of eight, level with the D232MLD; next is the D250RST (10,995 lb).
- Length, 29 ft: shortest of eight, level with the D232MLD; next is the D250RST (29 ft 4 in).
- Exterior height, 12 ft 6 in: tallest of eight, level with the D232MLD and D250RST; next is the D286BHD (12 ft 5 in).
Next to the D232MLD, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the D230RDD is 135 lb heavier by dry weight, has 135 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 195 lb heavier and has a grey tank 40 gal smaller; the two publish the same GVWR, length, exterior height, fresh tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.
Next to the D250RST, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the D230RDD is 275 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 495 lb lower, has 220 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 205 lb heavier and is 4 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior 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 (10,500 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (2,625 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). 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 D230RDD
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
8,350 lb UVW and 10,500 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,485 lb and 10,500 lb.
8,760 lb UVW and 10,995 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,485 lb and 10,500 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 55-gallon fresh tank is about 457 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 23% of the D230RDD’s 2,015 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,558 lb (312 lb per rated berth). Across 8 Durango Half-Ton floorplans the water share runs 20% to 25%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Durango Half-Ton D290RLT at 21% and Durango Half-Ton D283RLT at 23%. 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 Half-Ton D250RST, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 29 ft 0 in vs 29 ft 4 in; dry weight 8,485 lb vs 8,760 lb; GVWR 10,500 lb vs 10,995 lb; cargo capacity 2,015 lb vs 2,235 lb; hitch weight 1,625 lb vs 1,420 lb. They match on sleeps, 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.
