01 What makes it unique

KZ lists the 2016 Spree Connect C326BHS at 7,200 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,800 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,600 lb and a tongue weight of 950 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 36' 8" long and 10' 11" 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 13 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 C326BHS differs from the other twelve Spree Connect floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Dry weight, 7,200 lb: heaviest of thirteen; next is the C322BHS (6,910 lb).
  • GVWR, 8,800 lb: highest of thirteen; next are the C321RKS and C322BHS (8,300 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 950 lb: heaviest of thirteen; next is the C291IKS (800 lb).
  • Length, 36 ft 8 in: longest of thirteen; next is the C322BHS (35 ft 6 in).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,600 lb: fourth-largest of thirteen, between the C321RKS (1,530 lb) and the C260RKS (1,620 lb).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.2%: shared with the C283BHS; of thirteen, nine smaller and two larger, nearest the C232IKS (12.3%) and the C250BHS (13.5%).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 18.2%: shared with the C291IKS; of thirteen, three smaller and eight larger, nearest the C322BHS (16.7%) and the C321RKS (18.4%).
  • Exterior height, 10 ft 11 in: shared with the C322BHS; of thirteen, seven lower and four taller, nearest the C283BHS (10 ft 9 in) and the C290RLS and C291IKS (11 ft 1 in).

Next to the C322BHS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the C326BHS is 290 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 500 lb higher, has 210 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 220 lb heavier and is 1 ft 2 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed8,800 lb
Published tongue weight950 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb950–1,320 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed8,800 lb towed / 1,320 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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 (8,800 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,320 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). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What KZ does not publish for the Spree Connect C326BHS

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

Lighter
KZ Spree Connect C322BHS

6,910 lb dry and 8,300 lb GVWR, against this model’s 7,200 lb and 8,800 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), 21% of the Spree Connect C326BHS’s 1,600 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,268 lb. Across 13 Spree Connect floorplans the water share runs 18% to 31%, and 9 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Spree Connect C260RKS at 20% and Spree Connect C321RKS at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
