01 What KZ publishes for the Sportsmen LE
K. Z., Inc., of Shipshewana, Indiana, lists 14 Sportsmen LE travel trailers and toy haulers in its 2021 Sportsmen SE and LE brochure. KZ prints a dry weight for every one profiled here, and each has a page of its own. It prints a GVWR for every one too. It prints a net carrying capacity for 14; on the 14 that carry both that and a GVWR, the dry weight plus the carrying capacity equals the GVWR exactly on 14. (How the data is verified.)

Read from KZ’s 2021 Sportsmen SE and LE brochure, 6 Nov 2026. “Not published” means the maker prints no figure; nothing is filled from another model, year or dealer.
03 Reading KZ’s figures
A maker’s published weight is for a base trailer; options and dealer-installed equipment add weight to any particular unit. The federal weight label inside the trailer carries its own unloaded weight, cargo carrying capacity and GVWR (49 CFR 567 and 571.120): read it on the unit itself before any towing decision.
05 Recalls
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns affecting this line. The earliest was reported 30 Jun 2017 and the most recent 27 Aug 2021.
| Reported | Campaign | Component | What can go wrong |
|---|---|---|---|
| 27 Aug 2021 | 21V670000 | Equipment | Increased propane pressure can enlarge the flames in gas appliances, increasing the risk of a fire. |
| 30 Jun 2017 | 17V419000 | Tires | If the spare tire is used while the trailer is fully loaded, the tire may fail, increasing the risk of a crash. |
Coverage is not complete: this list is a starting point, not a clearance (how it is built), so check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy and again before you tow.
This count covers the Sportsmen LE name only; campaigns filed under the plain Sportsmen name count on the Sportsmen page.

How this count is drawn. A report is counted here only when NHTSA’s own model field names this line. What the owner typed in the description is never used to attribute a report: our line names are ordinary English words, and an owner writing “imagine my surprise when the axle went” or naming the state of Montana is not reporting a Grand Design Imagine or a Keystone Montana.
Read these as reports, not as findings. Complaints are submitted by owners and NHTSA does not verify them; no complaint here has been confirmed as a defect, and none of them is a recall. The sample is also self-selected — only owners motivated to file appear in it — so a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Use the pattern, not the total: a component that keeps recurring is worth inspecting on any used unit. File or search complaints at NHTSA.
