01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2027 Sportster X 26X at 8,530 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 12,750 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 4,220 lb and a dry hitch weight of 1,140 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 32' 1" long and 12' 6" high with the air conditioner, with 94 gal fresh, 38 gal grey and 40 gal black tanks. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 780 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.
Among the 7 Sportster X floorplans KZ lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 3 by unloaded weight, in a range from 7,080 lb (20X) to 14,620 lb (3914X). 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 Sportster X 26X, 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 26X differs from the other six Sportster X floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 33.1%: largest of five; next is the 20X (29.2%).
- Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.4%: smallest of seven; next is the 22X (15.2%).
- Dry tongue weight, 1,140 lb: second-lightest of seven, between the 20X (1,100 lb) and the 22X (1,210 lb).
- Dry weight, 8,530 lb: third-lightest of seven, between the 22X (7,940 lb) and the 33X (10,300 lb).
- GVWR, 12,750 lb: third-lowest of seven, between the 22X (12,000 lb) and the 33X (13,260 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 4,220 lb: third-largest of seven, between the 22X (3,950 lb) and the 3018X (4,440 lb).
- Length, 32 ft 1 in: third-shortest of seven, between the 22X (28 ft 5 in) and the 3018X (35 ft 7 in).
- Grey tank, 38 gal: smallest of seven, level with the 20X; next are the 3018X, 3411X and 3914X (50 gal).
- Black tank, 40 gal: shared with the 22X and 33X; of seven, one smaller and three larger, nearest the 20X (38 gal) and the 3018X (50 gal).
Next to the 22X, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 26X is 590 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 750 lb higher, has 270 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 70 lb lighter, is 3 ft 8 in longer and has a grey tank 38 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.
Next to the 33X, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 26X is 1,770 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 510 lb lower, has 1,080 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 570 lb lighter, is 6 ft 8 in shorter and has a grey tank 38 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.

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 (12,750 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,912 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 26X
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
7,940 lb UVW and 12,000 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,530 lb and 12,750 lb.
10,300 lb UVW and 13,260 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 8,530 lb and 12,750 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 94-gallon fresh tank is about 780 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 18% of the 26X’s 4,220 lb cargo capacity, leaving 3,440 lb (573 lb per rated berth). Across 7 Sportster X floorplans the water share runs 15% to 34%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Sportster X 3914X at 15% and Sportster X 3018X at 19%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
