01 What makes it unique
KZ lists the 2016 Vision V22BHS at 4,530 lb dry, a GVWR of 5,600 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,070 lb and a tongue weight of 560 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 26' 9" long and 119" high. KZ prints its tanks as 40 gal fresh, 30 gal grey, 24 gal black.
Among the 5 Vision floorplans KZ’s Vision brochure (filed in KZ’s 2016 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 5 from the lightest, in a range from 3,650 lb (Vision V19RB) to 4,530 lb (Vision V22BHS). 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 Vision 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 V22BHS differs from the other four Vision floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 4,530 lb: heaviest of five; next is the V23BHS (4,450 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 19.1%: smallest of four; next is the V23BHS (20.5%).
- Tongue weight, 560 lb: heaviest of five; next is the V23BHS (520 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.4%: largest of five; next is the V23BHS (11.7%).
- Grey tank, 30 gal: smallest of five; next are the V19RB, V20RBS and two others (31 gal).
- Cargo capacity, 1,070 lb: second-smallest of five, between the V23RLS (1,060 lb) and the V23BHS (1,150 lb).
- Length, 26 ft 9 in: third-shortest of five, between the V20RBS (23 ft 10 in) and the V23BHS and V23RLS (26 ft 11 in).
Next to the V23BHS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the V22BHS is 80 lb heavier by dry weight, has 80 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 40 lb heavier, is 2 in shorter and has a grey tank 1 gal smaller; the two publish the same GVWR, 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 (5,600 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (840 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).
03 The Vision floorplan family

04 Notes on this floorplan
What KZ does not publish for the Vision V22BHS
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
4,450 lb dry and 5,600 lb GVWR, against this model’s 4,530 lb and 5,600 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), 31% of the Vision V22BHS’s 1,070 lb cargo capacity, leaving 738 lb. Across 5 Vision floorplans the water share runs 21% to 31%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Vision V23BHS at 29% and Vision V23RLS 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
Closest sibling: the Vision V23BHS, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 26 ft 9 in vs 26 ft 11 in; dry weight 4,530 lb vs 4,450 lb; cargo capacity 1,070 lb vs 1,150 lb; hitch weight 560 lb vs 520 lb; grey tank 30 gal vs 31 gal. They match on GVWR, fresh tank and black tank.
