01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2024 Venom V3916TK at 13,400 lb dry, a GVWR of 19,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 5,600 lb and a pin weight of 2,840 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 43' 8" long and 13' 4" high. KZ prints its tanks as 100 gal fresh, 90 gal grey, 50 gal black.
Among the 6 Venom floorplans KZ’s 2024 Venom brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 3 from the lightest, in a range from 12,540 lb (Venom V3413TK) to 15,110 lb (Venom V4013TK). 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 2024 Venom brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2024.
How the V3916TK differs from the other five Venom floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity, 5,600 lb: largest of six; next is the V3815TK (5,240 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 29.5%: largest of six; next is the V3815TK (27.6%).
- Dry weight, 13,400 lb: third-lightest of six, between the V3313TK (12,860 lb) and the V3815TK (13,760 lb).
- Pin weight, 2,840 lb: third-heaviest of six, between the V3815TK (2,620 lb) and the V3912TK (3,170 lb).
- Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 21.2%: third-largest of six, between the V3815TK (19%) and the V3912TK (21.7%).
- Length, 43 ft 8 in: longest of six, level with the V3912TK; next is the V4013TK (43 ft 6 in).
- Grey tank, 90 gal: largest of six, level with the V3912TK and V4013TK; next are the V3313TK, V3413TK and V3815TK (50 gal).
Next to the V3313TK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the V3916TK is 540 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 3,000 lb higher, has 2,460 lb more cargo capacity, has a pin weight 610 lb heavier, is 2 ft 10 in longer, has a grey tank 40 gal larger and has a black tank 40 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and sleeping capacity.
Next to the V3815TK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the V3916TK is 360 lb lighter by dry weight, has 360 lb more cargo capacity, has a pin weight 220 lb heavier, is 10 in longer, has a grey tank 40 gal larger and has a black tank 40 gal smaller; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and sleeping capacity.

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 (19,000 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (4,750 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).
03 The Venom floorplan family
KZ’s 2024 Venom brochure lists 6 Venom floorplans; every one with a printed weight has a page here.

KZ’s 2024 Venom brochure lists 6 Venom floorplans. Every one with a printed weight has a page here.
04 Notes on this floorplan
What KZ does not publish for the Venom V3916TK
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
12,860 lb dry and 16,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 13,400 lb and 19,000 lb.
13,760 lb dry and 19,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 13,400 lb and 19,000 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), 15% of the Venom V3916TK’s 5,600 lb cargo capacity, leaving 4,770 lb (596 lb per rated berth). Across 6 Venom floorplans the water share runs 15% to 26%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Venom V3815TK at 16%. 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 Venom V3912TK, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 3 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): dry weight 13,400 lb vs 14,620 lb; cargo capacity 5,600 lb vs 4,380 lb; hitch weight 2,840 lb vs 3,170 lb. They match on length, sleeps, GVWR, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
| Venom plans | This plan | Position, low to high | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| GVWR (lb) | 19,000 | 3–6 of 6 | 16,000–19,000 |
| Dry weight (lb) | 13,400 | 3 of 6 | 12,540–15,110 |
| Cargo capacity (lb) | 5,600 | 6 of 6 | 3,140–5,600 |

| Grey tank (gal) | 90 | 4–6 of 6 | 50–90 |
| Black tank (gal) | 50 | 1–4 of 6 | 50–90 |
Either side of it by GVWR: Venom V3912TK matches it at 19,000 lb GVWR; Venom V4013TK matches it at 19,000 lb GVWR.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
13 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the Venom V3916TK. Not published: slide count, axle count, refrigerator, air conditioning, tire size (a description is published, a size is not).
Sourcing rules: methodology.
10 Manuals & documents
Sources: kz-rv.com (linked below); the full source note is at the foot of the page.
11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 10 recall campaigns and 2 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Venom line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 2 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover structure.
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 Venom 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.
| Model year | Manual |
|---|---|
| 2024 | Owner’s Manual (PDF on www.kz-rv.com; the maker’s one manual for all its products that year, not a manual written for this line alone) |
| 2023 | Owner’s Manual (PDF on www.kz-rv.com; the maker’s one manual for all its products that year, not a manual written for this line alone) |
| 2022 | Owner’s Manual (PDF on www.kz-rv.com; the maker’s one manual for all its products that year, not a manual written for this line alone) |
| 2021 | Owner’s Manual (PDF on www.kz-rv.com; the maker’s one manual for all its products that year, not a manual written for this line alone) |
| 2019 | Venom & Venom V-Series (PDF on www.kz-rv.com; the maker’s manual for this line) |
Earlier model years
The record at the top of this page is the V3916TK from 2024. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the V3916TK, and those 5 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2019 to 2023. 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.

- Exterior Length footnote
- Brochure footnote: "Exterior length is measured from center of hitch pin to rear wall."
Source for 2019. Printed in KZ RV’s Venom brochure (www.kz-rv.com). The document itself prints no model year; KZ RV files it under 2019 in its own brochure folder. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the printed GVWR exactly (13,340 + 4,660 = 18,000 lb). Nothing in this record is copied from another model year.
NHTSA record for 2019 Venom
3 recall campaigns filed with NHTSA name the Venom for model year 2019:
- 18V242000 (reported 17 Apr 2018): Equipment

- 21V670000 (reported 27 Aug 2021): Equipment
No owner complaint filed with NHTSA names the Venom for model year 2019. NHTSA files recalls and complaints by line and model year, not by floorplan, so a campaign listed here may not affect every Venom floorplan; the recall notice says which units it covers.
