01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2007 Outdoorsmen (Canadian Edition) 2453P-F at 6,090 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,910 lb and a pin weight of 1,400 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 26'10" long and 132" 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 12 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.

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 (8,000 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (2,000 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 figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What KZ does not publish for the Outdoorsmen (Canadian Edition) 2453P-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
5,570 lb dry and 7,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,090 lb and 8,000 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), 17% of the Outdoorsmen (Canadian Edition) 2453P-F’s 1,910 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,578 lb. Across 3 Outdoorsmen fifth-wheel floorplans the water share runs 17% to 23%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Outdoorsmen (Canadian Edition) 2353P-F at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
