01 What makes it unique

KZ lists the 2027 Sportsmen 321BHK at 7,050 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 8,800 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,750 lb and a dry hitch weight of 1,034 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 36' 7" long and 10' 10" high with the air conditioner, with 45 gal fresh, 38 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 6 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 321BHK, 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.

How the 321BHK differs from the other nine Sportsmen floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 14.7%: largest of ten; next is the 383DBK (14.5%).

  • Dry tongue weight, 1,034 lb: second-heaviest of ten, between the 333BHK (1,000 lb) and the 383DBK (1,360 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 19.9%: third-largest of ten, between the 291BHK (19.2%) and the 301DB (20.6%).

  • Grey tank, 38 gal: smallest of ten, level with the 301BHK, 301DB and two others; next are the 241RK, 261BHK and three others (76 gal).
  • Exterior height, 10 ft 10 in: shared with the 291BHK and 332BHK; of ten, four lower and three taller, nearest the 241RK, 261BHK and two others (10 ft 8 in) and the 333BHK, 344BHK and 383DBK (11 ft).
  • Sleeping capacity, 9: shared with the 261BHK, 291BHK and 333BHK; of ten, three smaller and three larger, nearest the 301DB and 383DBK (7) and the 332BHK (10).

Next to the 301BHK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 321BHK is 560 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 800 lb higher, has 240 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 189 lb heavier, is 3 ft 9 in longer, stands 2 in taller and sleeps two fewer; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it

Published dry tongue weight1,034 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb1,034–1,320 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed8,800 lb towed / 1,320 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 (8,800 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,320 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). The range starts at the published dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What KZ does not publish for the 321BHK

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
Sportsmen 301BHK

6,490 lb UVW and 8,000 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 7,050 lb and 8,800 lb.

Heavier
Sportsmen 332BHK

7,710 lb UVW and 8,800 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 7,050 lb and 8,800 lb.

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 45-gallon fresh tank is about 374 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 21% of the 321BHK’s 1,750 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,376 lb (153 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Sportsmen floorplans the water share runs 19% to 34%, and 8 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Sportsmen 344BHK at 19% and Sportsmen 261BHK at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 17 recall campaigns and 14 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Sportsmen line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).

What to look at on a used one. Across the 14 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are tires (29%), structure (14%) and suspension (14%).

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 Sportsmen line page.
