01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2016 Sportsmen Show Stopper LE Special S272BHSS at 4,710 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,290 lb and a tongue weight of 600 lb. KZ’s own figures do not add up — a conflict, stated not resolved: 4,710 lb dry plus 1,290 lb carrying capacity is 6,000 lb, against a printed GVWR of 7,000 lb. All three are shown as KZ prints them and none is corrected; the federal label on the trailer is the one to trust.
It is 29' 11" long and 10' 8" high. KZ prints its tanks as 40 gal fresh, 32 gal grey, 32 gal black.
Among the 3 Sportsmen Show Stopper LE Special floorplans KZ’s Sportsmen Show Stopper LE Special brochure (filed in KZ’s 2016 brochure folder; the flyer prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 2 from the lightest, in a range from 4,460 lb (Sportsmen Show Stopper LE Special S190SRBSS) to 5,820 lb (Sportsmen Show Stopper LE Special S282BHSS). Every figure in that comparison is KZ’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from KZ’s Sportsmen Show Stopper LE Special brochure (filed in KZ’s 2016 brochure folder; the flyer prints no year); model year 2016 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 (7,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,050 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern. This floorplan’s published dry weight plus cargo capacity comes to 6,000 lb, which is not its published GVWR; the check uses the published GVWR.
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).

5,820 lb dry and 7,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 4,710 lb and 7,000 lb.
