01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2016 Spree Connect C260RKS at 5,180 lb dry, a GVWR of 6,800 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,620 lb and a tongue weight of 490 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 28' 8" long and 10' 8 ½" high. KZ prints its tanks as 40 gal fresh, 64 gal grey, 32 gal black.
Among the 13 Spree Connect floorplans KZ’s Spree Connect brochure (filed in KZ’s 2016 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 6 from the lightest, in a range from 4,490 lb (Spree Connect C241RKS) to 7,200 lb (Spree Connect C326BHS). 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 Spree Connect brochure (filed in KZ’s 2016 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year); model year 2016 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.
How the C260RKS differs from the other twelve Spree Connect floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 9.5%: smallest of thirteen; next is the C321RKS (10.3%).
- Grey tank, 64 gal: largest of thirteen; next are the C200RBT, C220RBK and ten others (32 gal).
- Cargo capacity, 1,620 lb: third-largest of thirteen, between the C326BHS (1,600 lb) and the C250BHS (1,680 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 23.8%: third-largest of thirteen, between the C290RLS (23.1%) and the C250BHS (24.7%).
- Tongue weight, 490 lb: lightest of thirteen, level with the C220RBK; next is the C241RKS (510 lb).
- Dry weight, 5,180 lb: sixth-lightest of thirteen, between the C250BHS (5,120 lb) and the C232IKS (5,440 lb).
- Length, 28 ft 8 in: seventh-shortest of thirteen, between the C250BHS (28 ft 2 in) and the C283BHS (32 ft 2 in).
- Exterior height, 10 ft 8 in: shared with the C200RBT; of thirteen, four lower and seven taller, nearest the C220RBK and C250BHS (10 ft 7 in) and the C283BHS (10 ft 9 in).
- GVWR, 6,800 lb: shared with the C250BHS and C283BHS; of thirteen, five lower and five higher, nearest the C232IKS (6,500 lb) and the C290RLS and C291IKS (8,000 lb).
Next to the C250BHS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the C260RKS is 60 lb heavier by dry weight, has 60 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 200 lb lighter, is 6 in longer, stands 1 in taller and has a grey tank 32 gal larger; the two publish the same GVWR, interior height, fresh 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 (6,800 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,020 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 Spree Connect C260RKS
KZ prints no sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. 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
5,120 lb dry and 6,800 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,180 lb and 6,800 lb.
5,440 lb dry and 6,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,180 lb and 6,800 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 40-gallon fresh tank is about 332 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 20% of the Spree Connect C260RKS’s 1,620 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,288 lb. Across 13 Spree Connect floorplans the water share runs 18% to 31%, and 10 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Spree Connect C250BHS at 20% and Spree Connect C326BHS at 21%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
