2027 KZ Sportsmen Classic230RB

KZ lists the 2027 Sportsmen Classic 230RB at 4,110 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 5,600 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,490 lb and a dry hitch weight of 420 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 26' 8" long and 118" high with the air conditioner, with 36 gal fresh, 32 gal grey and 32 gal black tanks. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 299 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 9 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 230RB, 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.
