2027 KZ RidgewayR27RS

KZ lists the 2027 Ridgeway R27RS at 8,300 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 11,000 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 2,700 lb and a dry pin weight of 1,400 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 31' 7" long and 12' 7" 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 2 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 R27RS, 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.

KZ lists 10 Ridgeway floorplans for 2027; this site profiles every one with a published weight, from KZ’s own floorplan pages.

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 R27RS’s 2,700 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,069 lb (517 lb per rated berth). Across 7 Ridgeway floorplans the water share runs 22% to 27%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Ridgeway R28BH at 23% and Ridgeway R24ML at 24%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
