01 What makes it unique
The 292RE is the same 34-foot body as the 290KB pointed at a completely different buyer. CrossRoads describes it as a spacious travel trailer with a queen bed, a well-appointed kitchenette and a living area with recliners and a fireplace, sleeping six on two slides. Where the 290KB spends the length on bunks, the 292RE spends it on the lounge. The 2025 published standards for the line list a Super Flex Alpha roof under a limited lifetime warranty, a heated and enclosed underbelly, front diamond plate, pass-through storage, a tankless water heater and an electric awning.
CrossRoads publishes a 9,600-pound GVWR against a 7,550-pound dry weight — the same GVWR as the 290KB on 488 more pounds of dry weight, which drops the cargo capacity to 2,050 pounds. The dry tongue is 802 pounds and the tank set is 45/42/42 gallons fresh/grey/black. The one figure to check before you plan a patio: the factory lists a 10-foot awning, the shortest on the Zinger roster and ten feet shorter than the 320FB's, on a body of almost identical length.

Holding tanks
Axles, wheels and nose shape are schematic; not a floorplan. Data: dataset.
Towing it
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 Zinger floorplan family
The Zinger is CrossRoads' full-size value travel trailer. It is one of three separate rosters in the Zinger family — the lighter Zinger Lite and the single-axle Zinger Lite Mini carry their own floorplan codes and their own weights, and nothing is shared between them. All nine 2026 Zinger plans are profiled in full and linked below. The 292RE on this page is highlighted.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 280RB | 32 ft | 6 | One slide, sleeps 6 - layout not published by source |
| 290KB | 33 ft | 11 | Two bunks and a queen bedroom |
| 292RE | 33 ft | 6 | Queen bed, recliners and a fireplace |
| 320FB | 36 ft | 10 | Two slides, sleeps 10 - layout not published by source |
| 328SB | 36 ft | 12 | Two slides, sleeps 12 - layout not published by source |
| 331BH | 37 ft | 12 | Queen bed and a bunkhouse with a flip-up bunk |
| 340BH | 38 ft | 12 | Three slides, sleeps 12 - layout not published by source |
| 340LR | 38 ft | 6 | Two slides, sleeps 6 - layout not published by source |
| 390DB | 43 ft | 8 | King bed, queen bed and a 50-inch TV centre |
Zinger is a cross-shop against Forest River's Salem / Wildwood and Aurora, Prime Time's Avenger, Keystone's Springdale, Coachmen's Catalina and Palomino's Puma. The family runs three separate rosters that share no floorplan codes: this full-size Zinger, the lighter tandem-axle Zinger Lite and the single-axle Zinger Lite Mini. The 2026 factory roster carries nine travel-trailer plans and all nine are profiled here in full. Dry weight, GVWR, cargo capacity and dry tongue weight are published per plan and each plan's dry weight plus cargo capacity equals its GVWR exactly, so the weights below are shown unflagged with no derivation. Dry weight is a factory estimate; real loaded tongue weights run higher — always weigh the loaded trailer and confirm against your vehicle's tow rating and payload.
04 Notes on this floorplan
The shortest awning on the roster
The factory publishes a 10-foot awning — the shortest of the nine 2026 Zinger plans, on a 34-foot body. Corroborated against the RVUSA record, so it is the published figure rather than a transcription error.
Recliners and a fireplace, not bunks
The factory describes a queen bed with a living area built around recliners and a fireplace — the six berths are a couples rating, not a family one.
Black tank correction
The CrossRoads factory record publishes a 42-gallon black tank and the RVUSA record publishes 44. The factory figure is used here. It is the only tank disagreement in the entire Zinger family.
Cargo capacity
At 2,050 pounds the cargo capacity is 488 pounds below the 290KB's on the same GVWR — the fireplace and recliners cost payload.
Weigh the loaded trailer
Dry weight is a factory estimate and real loaded tongue weights run above the 802-pound base — weigh the loaded trailer and use a weight-distributing hitch.
05 How it compares
The 290KB — the same 34-foot body with two bunks and eleven berths instead of recliners and six.
The 340LR — the roster's other six-berth lounge plan, four feet longer with an 11,200-pound GVWR.
Forest River's Aurora — a laminated-sidewall cross-shop in the same couples bracket.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 45-gallon fresh tank is about 375 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 18% of the 292RE’s 2,050 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,675 lb (279 lb per rated berth). Across 9 Zinger floorplans the water share runs 14% to 29%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Zinger 320FB at 18% and Zinger 328SB at 23%. 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 Zinger 320FB, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 33 ft 8 in vs 36 ft 1 in; sleeps 6 vs 10; dry weight 7,550 lb vs 7,695 lb; GVWR 9,600 lb vs 9,800 lb; cargo capacity 2,050 lb vs 2,105 lb; dry hitch weight 802 lb vs 1,000 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
| Zinger plans | This plan | Position, low to high | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| GVWR (lb) | 9,600 | 2–3 of 9 | 9,500–13,200 |
| Dry weight (lb) | 7,550 | 3 of 9 | 6,822–10,517 |
| Cargo capacity (lb) | 2,050 | 3 of 9 | 1,540–2,683 |
| Dry hitch weight (lb) | 802 | 2 of 9 | 794–1,296 |
| Length | 33 ft 8 in | 2–3 of 9 | 32 ft 8 in–43 ft 1 in |
| Fresh tank (gal) | 45 | 1–8 of 9 | 45–54 |
| Grey tank (gal) | 42 | 2–4 of 9 | 39–84 |
| Black tank (gal) | 42 | 2–7 of 9 | 39–84 |
| Sleeps | 6 | 1–3 of 9 | 6–12 |
Either side of it by GVWR: Zinger 290KB matches it at 9,600 lb GVWR; Zinger 331BH is 135 lb heavier (9,735 lb GVWR).

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 16 recall campaigns and 14 owner complaints against the Zinger line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 14 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are equipment (21%), structure (21%) and suspension (21%).
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 Zinger line page.
