01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2014 StoneRidge 36RK at 12,420 lb dry, a GVWR of 15,400 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,980 lb and a pin weight of 2,290 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 38' 8" long and 13' 1" high. KZ prints its tanks as 100 gal fresh, 114 gal grey, 57 gal black.
Among the 8 StoneRidge floorplans KZ’s StoneRidge brochure (filed in KZ’s 2014 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 5 from the lightest, in a range from 11,725 lb (StoneRidge 36IK) to 13,820 lb (StoneRidge 41CKS). 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 StoneRidge brochure (filed in KZ’s 2014 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year); model year 2014 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.
How the 36RK differs from the other seven StoneRidge floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 18.4%: second-smallest of eight, between the 39BH (17.7%) and the 38FL (18.6%).
- Cargo capacity, 2,980 lb: third-smallest of eight, between the 36RLB (2,770 lb) and the 36UL (3,060 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 19.4%: third-smallest of eight, between the 36RLB (19.1%) and the 36UL (20.4%).
- Dry weight, 12,420 lb: fourth-heaviest of eight, between the 36UL (11,940 lb) and the 39BH (12,920 lb).
- GVWR, 15,400 lb: fourth-highest of eight, between the 36IK, 36UL and 38FL (15,000 lb) and the 39BH (15,500 lb).
- Grey tank, 114 gal: largest of eight, level with the 39BH and 40RSS; next are the 36IK, 36RLB and three others (57 gal).
- Pin weight, 2,290 lb: shared with the 39BH; of eight, two lighter and four heavier, nearest the 36RLB (2,280 lb) and the 36UL (2,440 lb).
- Length, 38 ft 8 in: shared with the 36UL; of eight, two shorter and four longer, nearest the 36RLB (37 ft 11 in) and the 38FL (39 ft 11 in).
Next to the 36UL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 36RK is 480 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 400 lb higher, has 80 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 150 lb lighter and has a grey tank 57 gal larger; the two publish the same length, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and black tank.
Next to the 39BH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 36RK is 500 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 100 lb lower, has 400 lb more cargo capacity, is 2 ft 2 in shorter and stands 5 in taller; the two publish the same pin weight, interior height, fresh tank, grey 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 (15,400 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,850 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).
03 The StoneRidge floorplan family

04 Notes on this floorplan
What KZ does not publish for the StoneRidge 36RK
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
11,940 lb dry and 15,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 12,420 lb and 15,400 lb.
12,920 lb dry and 15,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 12,420 lb and 15,400 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 100-gallon fresh tank is about 830 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 28% of the StoneRidge 36RK’s 2,980 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,150 lb. Across 8 StoneRidge floorplans the water share runs 17% to 32%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: StoneRidge 36UL at 27% and StoneRidge 36RLB at 30%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the StoneRidge 39BH, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 38 ft 8 in vs 40 ft 10 in; dry weight 12,420 lb vs 12,920 lb; GVWR 15,400 lb vs 15,500 lb; cargo capacity 2,980 lb vs 2,580 lb. They match on hitch weight, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
| StoneRidge plans | This plan | Position, low to high | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| GVWR (lb) | 15,400 | 5 of 8 | 14,500–19,000 |

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
12 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the StoneRidge 36RK. Not published: sleeps, slide count, axle count, refrigerator, air conditioning, tire size (a description is published, a size is not).

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 3 recall campaigns against the StoneRidge line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
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 StoneRidge line page.
Earlier model years
The record at the top of this page is the 36RK from 2014. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 36RK, and those 3 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2011 to 2013. The figures change from year to year, so check the year on the trailer’s own label. A field a year’s brochure does not print reads “Not published” and is never filled from another year.
