01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2007 Outdoorsmen (Canadian Edition) 2205QS-F at 4,160 lb dry, a GVWR of 6,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,840 lb and a tongue weight of 410 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 23' long and 121" high. KZ prints its tanks as 40 gal fresh, 32 gal grey, 32 gal black.
Among the 12 Outdoorsmen floorplans KZ’s Outdoorsmen brochure (filed in KZ’s 2007 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 1 from the lightest, in a range from 4,160 lb (Outdoorsmen (Canadian Edition) 2205QS-F) to 6,090 lb (Outdoorsmen (Canadian Edition) 2453P-F). 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 Outdoorsmen brochure (filed in KZ’s 2007 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year); model year 2007 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.
How the 2205QS-F differs from the other eight Outdoorsmen travel trailers. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 4,160 lb: lightest of nine; next is the 2303P-F (4,670 lb).
- GVWR, 6,000 lb: lowest of nine; next are the 2303P-F, 2405PQS-F and six others (7,000 lb).
- Tongue weight, 410 lb: lightest of nine; next is the 2405PQS-F (480 lb).
- Length, 23 ft: shortest of nine; next is the 2303P-F (25 ft 2 in).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 30.7%: second-largest of nine, between the 2605P-F (27.4%) and the 2303P-F (33.3%).
- Cargo capacity, 1,840 lb: third-largest of nine, between the 2803P-F (1,740 lb) and the 2605P-F (1,920 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 9.9%: third-smallest of nine, between the 2605P-F (9.6%) and the 2809PQS-F (10.1%).
Next to the 2303P-F, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2205QS-F is 510 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,000 lb lower, has 490 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 80 lb lighter and is 2 ft 2 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey 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 (6,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (900 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, 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 Outdoorsmen (Canadian Edition) 2205QS-F
KZ prints no sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, 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
4,670 lb dry and 7,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 4,160 lb and 6,000 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 40-gallon fresh tank is about 332 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 18% of the Outdoorsmen (Canadian Edition) 2205QS-F’s 1,840 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,508 lb. Across 9 Outdoorsmen travel-trailer floorplans the water share runs 14% to 23%, and 6 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Outdoorsmen (Canadian Edition) 2605P-F at 17% and Outdoorsmen (Canadian Edition) 2803P-F at 19%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Outdoorsmen (Canadian Edition) 2405PQS-F, nearest on the published figures.

They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
