2027 KZ Sportsmen261BHK

KZ lists the 2027 Sportsmen 261BHK at 6,300 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 8,000 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,700 lb and a dry hitch weight of 830 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 31' 7" long and 10' 8" high with the air conditioner, with 45 gal fresh, 76 gal grey and 38 gal black tanks. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 374 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.

Among the 10 Sportsmen floorplans KZ lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 2 by unloaded weight, in a range from 5,690 lb (241RK) to 9,400 lb (383DBK). 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 Sportsmen 261BHK, 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.
