01 What makes it unique

KZ lists the 2017 Spree S303RL at 7,790 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,800 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,010 lb and a tongue weight of 1,170 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 34' 6" long and 11' 2" high. KZ prints its tanks as 40 gal fresh, 32 gal grey, 32 gal black.

Among the 10 Spree floorplans KZ’s Spree brochure (filed in KZ’s 2017 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 6 from the lightest, in a range from 5,590 lb (Spree S261RK) to 8,420 lb (Spree S323RK). 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 Spree brochure (filed in KZ’s 2017 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year); model year 2017 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.

How the S303RL differs from the other nine Spree floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Cargo capacity, 1,010 lb: smallest of ten; next is the S323RK (1,080 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 1,170 lb: heaviest of ten; next is the S323RK (1,070 lb).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 15%: largest of ten; next is the S322RL (13.9%).
  • Length, 34 ft 6 in: third-shortest of ten, between the S261RK and S261RKC (28 ft 9 in) and the S322RL (35 ft 1 in).
  • Dry weight, 7,790 lb: fifth-heaviest of ten, between the S333RLI (7,770 lb) and the S333BHK (8,130 lb).
  • GVWR, 8,800 lb: fifth-lowest of ten, between the S312BHK and S322RL (8,300 lb) and the S323RE, S323RK and three others (9,500 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 11.5%: shared with the S323RE; of nine, one smaller and six larger, nearest the S323RK (11.4%) and the S312BHK (13.9%).
  • Exterior height, 11 ft 2 in: shared with the S312BHK and S322RL; of ten, two lower and five taller, nearest the S261RK and S261RKC (11 ft 1 in) and the S333RLI (11 ft 3 in).

Next to the S333RLI, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the S303RL is 20 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 700 lb lower, has 520 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 270 lb heavier, is 1 ft 11 in shorter and stands 1 in lower; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the S333BHK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the S303RL is 340 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 700 lb lower, has 360 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 310 lb heavier, is 2 ft shorter, stands 4 in lower and has a grey tank 24 gal smaller; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed8,800 lb
Published tongue weight1,170 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb1,170–1,320 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 S303RL

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

7,770 lb dry and 9,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 7,790 lb and 8,800 lb.

KZ Spree S333BHK

8,130 lb dry and 9,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 7,790 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), 33% of the Spree S303RL’s 1,010 lb cargo capacity, leaving 678 lb. Across 10 Spree floorplans the water share runs 22% to 33%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Spree S323RK at 31%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

07 Where this floorplan sits

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

12 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the Spree S303RL. Not published: sleeps, slide count, axle count, refrigerator, air conditioning, tire size (a description is published, a size is not).

Sourcing rules: methodology.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 7 recall campaigns and 6 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Spree line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).

Too few reports to show a pattern. 6 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover electrical system, equipment, service brakes, structure, trailer hitches and wheels.

Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Spree line page.

Owner’s manuals

The maker’s own owner’s manual for each model year on this page, linked where the maker publishes it. Each link goes to the maker’s file, labelled as the maker labels it; a year with no manual of its own is not filled from another year.
