01 What makes it unique

KZ lists the 2027 Ridgeway 32ML at 10,260 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 12,995 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 2,735 lb and a dry pin weight of 1,850 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 35' 4" long and 13' 3" high with the air conditioner, with 76 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 631 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.

Among the 7 Ridgeway floorplans KZ lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 5 by unloaded weight, in a range from 7,900 lb (R24ML) to 12,630 lb (38TBL). 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 Ridgeway 32ML, 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 32ML differs from the other six Ridgeway floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Cargo capacity, 2,735 lb: second-largest of seven, between the R27RS and R28BH (2,700 lb) and the 31RL (2,835 lb).
  • Dry weight, 10,260 lb: third-heaviest of seven, between the 31RL (10,160 lb) and the 36MBL (12,200 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 21%: third-smallest of seven, between the 36MBL and 38TBL (15.8%) and the 31RL (21.8%).
  • Length, 35 ft 4 in: third-longest of seven, between the 31RL (35 ft 2 in) and the 36MBL (41 ft).
  • Dry pin weight, 1,850 lb: fourth-lightest of seven, between the R28BH (1,460 lb) and the 31RL (1,871 lb).
  • Dry pin weight as a share of dry weight, 18%: fourth-smallest of seven, between the R28BH (17.6%) and the 31RL (18.4%).
  • GVWR, 12,995 lb: shared with the 31RL; of seven, three lower and two higher, nearest the R27RS and R28BH (11,000 lb) and the 36MBL (14,495 lb).
  • Sleeping capacity, 4: shared with the 31RL and R27RS; of seven, one smaller and three larger, nearest the R24ML (3) and the 38TBL (6).

Next to the 31RL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 32ML is 100 lb heavier by dry weight, has 100 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 21 lb lighter and is 2 in longer; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.

Next to the 36MBL, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 32ML is 1,940 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,500 lb lower, has 440 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 430 lb lighter, is 5 ft 8 in shorter and sleeps four fewer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it

Published dry pin weight1,850 lb
Loaded pin weight, rule of thumb1,949–3,249 lb
In-bed fifth-wheel hitch rating needed12,995 lb towed / 3,249 lb pin
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger and the bed and cab load from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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 (12,995 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,249 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).

KZ lists 10 Ridgeway floorplans. Every 2027 plan with a published weight has a page here; the rest are catalogued with the reason against each.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What KZ does not publish for the 32ML

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

Lighter

10,160 lb UVW and 12,995 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 10,260 lb and 12,995 lb.

Heavier
Ridgeway 36MBL

12,200 lb UVW and 14,495 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 10,260 lb and 12,995 lb.

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 76-gallon fresh tank is about 631 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 23% of the 32ML’s 2,735 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,104 lb (526 lb per rated berth). Across 7 Ridgeway floorplans the water share runs 22% to 27%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Ridgeway 31RL at 22% and Ridgeway R27RS at 23%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).

11 NHTSA safety record

No recall campaign or owner complaint in our NHTSA data names the Ridgeway line. Read that as no result found, not as a clean record.

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 Ridgeway line page.
