01 What makes it unique

KZ lists the 2016 Sportsmen Show Stopper S314BHSS at 6,010 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,990 lb and a tongue weight of 690 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 32' 10" long and 11' high. KZ prints its tanks as 40 gal fresh, 32 gal grey, 32 gal black.

Among the 8 Sportsmen Show Stopper floorplans KZ’s Sportsmen Show Stopper brochure (filed in KZ’s 2016 brochure folder; the flyer prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 6 from the lightest, in a range from 4,480 lb (Sportsmen Show Stopper S242SBHSS) to 6,210 lb (Sportsmen Show Stopper S314BHKSS). 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 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

Tow rating needed8,000 lb
Published tongue weight690 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb800–1,200 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed8,000 lb towed / 1,200 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch 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 (8,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,200 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).

What KZ does not publish for the Sportsmen Show Stopper S314BHSS

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.
