01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2014 StoneRidge 36UL at 11,940 lb dry, a GVWR of 15,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 3,060 lb and a pin weight of 2,440 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, 57 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 4 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 36UL differs from the other seven StoneRidge floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 11,940 lb: fourth-lightest of eight, between the 38FL (11,890 lb) and the 36RK (12,420 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 3,060 lb: fourth-smallest of eight, between the 36RK (2,980 lb) and the 38FL (3,110 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 20.4%: fourth-smallest of eight, between the 36RK (19.4%) and the 38FL (20.7%).
- Pin weight, 2,440 lb: fourth-heaviest of eight, between the 36RK and 39BH (2,290 lb) and the 36IK (2,645 lb).
- Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 20.4%: fourth-largest of eight, between the 36RLB (19.4%) and the 41CKS (21.2%).
- GVWR, 15,000 lb: shared with the 36IK and 38FL; of eight, one lower and four higher, nearest the 36RLB (14,500 lb) and the 36RK (15,400 lb).
- Length, 38 ft 8 in: shared with the 36RK; of eight, two shorter and four longer, nearest the 36RLB (37 ft 11 in) and the 38FL (39 ft 11 in).
Next to the 38FL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 36UL is 50 lb heavier by dry weight, has 50 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 230 lb heavier, is 1 ft 3 in shorter and stands 1 in taller; the two publish the same GVWR, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the 36RK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 36UL is 480 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 400 lb lower, has 80 lb more cargo capacity, has a pin weight 150 lb heavier and has a grey tank 57 gal smaller; the two publish the same length, exterior height, interior height, fresh 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 (15,000 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,750 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). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.
03 The StoneRidge floorplan family

04 Notes on this floorplan
What KZ does not publish for the StoneRidge 36UL
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
11,890 lb dry and 15,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 11,940 lb and 15,000 lb.
12,420 lb dry and 15,400 lb GVWR, against this model’s 11,940 lb and 15,000 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), 27% of the StoneRidge 36UL’s 3,060 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,230 lb. Across 8 StoneRidge floorplans the water share runs 17% to 32%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: StoneRidge 38FL at 27% and StoneRidge 36RK at 28%. 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 38FL, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 38 ft 8 in vs 39 ft 11 in; dry weight 11,940 lb vs 11,890 lb; cargo capacity 3,060 lb vs 3,110 lb; hitch weight 2,440 lb vs 2,210 lb. They match on GVWR, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
| StoneRidge plans | This plan | Position, low to high | Range |

| GVWR (lb) | 15,000 | 2–4 of 8 | 14,500–19,000 |
| Dry weight (lb) | 11,940 | 4 of 8 | 11,725–13,820 |
| Cargo capacity (lb) | 3,060 | 4 of 8 | 2,580–5,280 |
| Hitch weight (lb) | 2,440 | 5 of 8 | 2,210–3,040 |
| Length | 38 ft 8 in | 3–4 of 8 | 37 ft 8 in–42 ft 10 in |
| Fresh tank (gal) | 100 | 1–6 of 8 | 100–110 |
| Grey tank (gal) | 57 | 1–5 of 8 | 57–114 |

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
12 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the StoneRidge 36UL. 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 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 36UL from 2014. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 36UL, and those 2 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2012 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.

Changed from 2012 to 2013 (only figures both brochures print): Dry weight (UVW) 11,825 → 11,906 lb (+81); GVWR 14,000 → 15,000 lb (+1,000); Cargo capacity 2,175 → 3,094 lb (+919); Tire size 16" → 16. Unchanged: Dry hitch weight, Fresh tank, Grey tank, Black tank, Length.
Source for 2013. Printed in KZ RV’s StoneRidge brochure (www.kz-rv.com). The document itself prints no model year; KZ RV files it under 2013 in its own brochure folder. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the printed GVWR exactly (11,906 + 3,094 = 15,000 lb). Nothing in this record is copied from another model year.
NHTSA record for 2013 StoneRidge
2 recall campaigns filed with NHTSA name the StoneRidge for model year 2013:
No owner complaint filed with NHTSA names the StoneRidge for model year 2013. NHTSA files recalls and complaints by line and model year, not by floorplan, so a campaign listed here may not affect every StoneRidge floorplan; the recall notice says which units it covers.
