01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2016 Spree Connect C291IKS at 6,540 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,460 lb and a tongue weight of 800 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 33' 4" long and 11' 1" high. KZ prints its tanks as 40 gal fresh, 32 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 10 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.

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 (8,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,200 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 C291IKS
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
6,150 lb dry and 8,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,540 lb and 8,000 lb.
6,770 lb dry and 8,300 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,540 lb and 8,000 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), 23% of the Spree Connect C291IKS’s 1,460 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,128 lb. Across 13 Spree Connect floorplans the water share runs 18% to 31%, and 6 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Spree Connect C241RKS at 22% and Spree Connect C322BHS at 24%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
