01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Sportsmen Classic 191BHK at 3,740 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 4,800 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,060 lb and a dry hitch weight of 440 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 21' 10" long and 118" high with the air conditioner, with 20 gal fresh, 26 gal grey and 26 gal black tanks. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 166 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.
Among the 10 Sportsmen Classic floorplans KZ lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 7 by unloaded weight, in a range from 2,640 lb (130BH) to 4,120 lb (240BH). 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 Classic 191BHK, 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 191BHK differs from the other nine Sportsmen Classic floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 3,740 lb: fourth-heaviest of ten, between the 181BH (3,560 lb) and the 171BH (3,810 lb).
- Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.8%: fourth-largest of ten, between the 130BH (11%) and the 160QB (12.3%).
- Length, 21 ft 10 in: fourth-longest of ten, between the 160QB and 170MB (21 ft 8 in) and the 171BH (22 ft 10 in).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 22.1%: fifth-smallest of ten, between the 171BH (20.6%) and the 130RD (23.1%).
- GVWR, 4,800 lb: shared with the 171BH; of ten, six lower and two higher, nearest the 170MB and 181BH (4,400 lb) and the 230RB and 240BH (5,600 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 1,060 lb: shared with the 170MB; of ten, six smaller and two larger, nearest the 171BH (990 lb) and the 240BH (1,480 lb).
- Dry tongue weight, 440 lb: shared with the 240BH; of ten, six lighter and two heavier, nearest the 230RB (420 lb) and the 170MB (460 lb).
- Sleeping capacity, 6: shared with the 180BH and 181BH; of ten, five smaller and two larger, nearest the 230RB (5) and the 171BH (8).
Next to the 181BH, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 191BHK is 180 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 400 lb higher, has 220 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 90 lb heavier, is 6 in longer and stands 5 in lower; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank, grey tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.
Next to the 171BH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 191BHK is 70 lb lighter by dry weight, has 70 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 90 lb lighter, is 1 ft shorter, stands 5 in lower and sleeps two fewer; the two publish the same GVWR, interior height, fresh tank, grey 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 (4,800 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (720 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).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What KZ does not publish for the 191BHK
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
3,560 lb UVW and 4,400 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 3,740 lb and 4,800 lb.
3,810 lb UVW and 4,800 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 3,740 lb and 4,800 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 20-gallon fresh tank is about 166 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 16% of the 191BHK’s 1,060 lb cargo capacity, leaving 894 lb (149 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Sportsmen Classic floorplans the water share runs 16% to 28%, and 8 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Sportsmen Classic 170MB at 16% and Sportsmen Classic 171BH at 17%. 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
