01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Durango Half-Ton D286BHD at 9,320 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 11,500 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 2,180 lb and a dry pin weight of 1,590 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 33' 7" long and 12' 5" high with the air conditioner, with 55 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 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 4 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 D286BHD, 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 D286BHD differs from the other seven Durango Half-Ton floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Sleeping capacity, 10: largest of eight; next is the D296BHT (9).

- Grey tank, 90 gal: largest of eight, level with the D232MLD and D256RKT; next are the D230RDD, D250RST and three others (50 gal).
- GVWR, 11,500 lb: shared with the D256RKT and D283RLT; of eight, three lower and two higher, nearest the D250RST (10,995 lb) and the D290RLT and D296BHT (11,995 lb).
- Dry pin weight as a share of dry weight, 17.1%: shared with the D232MLD; of eight, three smaller and three larger, nearest the D290RLT (16.3%) and the D256RKT (17.3%).

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 (11,500 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (2,875 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 D286BHD
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
8,760 lb UVW and 10,995 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 9,320 lb and 11,500 lb.
9,550 lb UVW and 11,500 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 9,320 lb and 11,500 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), 21% of the D286BHD’s 2,180 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,724 lb (172 lb per rated berth). Across 8 Durango Half-Ton floorplans the water share runs 20% to 25%, and 6 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Durango Half-Ton D250RST at 20% and Durango Half-Ton D232MLD at 21%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
