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 8 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.
