01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Sportsmen 333BHK at 8,430 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 9,800 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,370 lb and a dry hitch weight of 1,000 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 37' 7" long and 11' 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 8 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 333BHK, 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.
How the 333BHK differs from the other nine Sportsmen floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 14%: second-smallest of ten, between the 332BHK (12.4%) and the 383DBK (14.5%).
- Dry weight, 8,430 lb: third-heaviest of ten, between the 332BHK (7,710 lb) and the 344BHK (9,030 lb).

- Exterior height, 11 ft: tallest of ten, level with the 344BHK and 383DBK; next are the 291BHK, 321BHK and 332BHK (10 ft 10 in).
- Grey tank, 76 gal: largest of ten, level with the 241RK, 261BHK and two others; next are the 301BHK, 301DB and three others (38 gal).
- Sleeping capacity, 9: shared with the 261BHK, 291BHK and 321BHK; of ten, three smaller and three larger, nearest the 301DB and 383DBK (7) and the 332BHK (10).
Next to the 332BHK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 333BHK is 720 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,000 lb higher, has 280 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 100 lb heavier, is 4 in longer, stands 2 in taller, has a grey tank 38 gal larger and sleeps one fewer; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

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 (9,800 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,470 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 333BHK
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
7,710 lb UVW and 8,800 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,430 lb and 9,800 lb.
9,030 lb UVW and 11,000 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,430 lb and 9,800 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), 27% of the 333BHK’s 1,370 lb cargo capacity, leaving 996 lb (111 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Sportsmen floorplans the water share runs 19% to 34%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Sportsmen 301BHK at 25% and Sportsmen 241RK at 29%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Sportsmen 291BHK, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 37 ft 7 in vs 31 ft 11 in; dry weight 8,430 lb vs 6,460 lb; GVWR 9,800 lb vs 8,000 lb; cargo capacity 1,370 lb vs 1,540 lb; hitch weight 1,000 lb vs 830 lb.
