01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Durango Half-Ton D250RST at 8,760 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 10,995 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 2,235 lb and a dry pin weight of 1,420 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 29' 4" 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 3 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 D250RST, 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 D250RST differs from the other seven Durango Half-Ton floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity, 2,235 lb: largest of eight; next is the D286BHD (2,180 lb).
- Dry pin weight, 1,420 lb: lightest of eight; next is the D232MLD (1,430 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 20.3%: second-largest of eight, between the D230RDD (19.2%) and the D232MLD (20.5%).
- Dry pin weight as a share of dry weight, 16.2%: second-smallest of eight, between the D296BHT (15.5%) and the D290RLT (16.3%).
- Dry weight, 8,760 lb: third-lightest of eight, between the D230RDD (8,485 lb) and the D286BHD (9,320 lb).
- GVWR, 10,995 lb: third-lowest of eight, between the D230RDD and D232MLD (10,500 lb) and the D256RKT, D283RLT and D286BHD (11,500 lb).
- Length, 29 ft 4 in: third-shortest of eight, between the D230RDD and D232MLD (29 ft) and the D283RLT (32 ft 11 in).
- Exterior height, 12 ft 6 in: tallest of eight, level with the D230RDD and D232MLD; next is the D286BHD (12 ft 5 in).
Next to the D230RDD, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the D250RST is 275 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 495 lb higher, has 220 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 205 lb lighter and is 4 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.
Next to the D286BHD, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the D250RST is 560 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 505 lb lower, has 55 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 170 lb lighter, is 4 ft 3 in shorter, stands 1 in taller, has a grey tank 40 gal smaller and sleeps five fewer; the two publish the same fresh 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 (10,995 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (2,749 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 D250RST
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
8,485 lb UVW and 10,500 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,760 lb and 10,995 lb.
9,320 lb UVW and 11,500 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,760 lb and 10,995 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), 20% of the D250RST’s 2,235 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,778 lb (356 lb per rated berth). Across 8 Durango Half-Ton floorplans the water share runs 20% to 25%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Durango Half-Ton D286BHD at 21%. 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 D230RDD, nearest on the published figures.
