01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2021 Sportsmen LE 241RKLE at 5,450 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,550 lb and a tongue weight of 540 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 28' 2" long and 10' 8" high. KZ prints its tanks as 45 gal fresh, 64 gal grey, 32 gal black.
Among the 14 Sportsmen LE floorplans KZ’s 2021 Sportsmen SE and LE brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 5 from the lightest, in a range from 4,520 lb (Sportsmen LE 200THLE) to 8,130 lb (Sportsmen LE 333KBKLE). Every figure in that comparison is KZ’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from KZ’s 2021 Sportsmen SE and LE brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2021.

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 (7,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,050 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 Sportsmen LE 241RKLE
Nothing is filled from a sibling model, 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
5,370 lb dry and 7,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,450 lb and 7,000 lb.
5,470 lb dry and 8,800 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,450 lb and 7,000 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), 24% of the Sportsmen LE 241RKLE’s 1,550 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,176 lb (235 lb per rated berth). Across 14 Sportsmen LE floorplans the water share runs 11% to 38%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Sportsmen LE 281BHKLE at 23% and Sportsmen LE 332BHKLE at 26%. 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 2 recall campaigns and 2 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Sportsmen LE line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 2 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover equipment.
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 LE line page.
