01 What makes it unique

The 328SB is the first of the roster's three twelve-berth plans and the cheapest of them by about five thousand dollars. CrossRoads rates it to sleep twelve in about 37 feet on two slides, with an 18-foot awning. CrossRoads publishes no floorplan description for this plan anywhere on its site, so no layout claim is made here — the interior arrangement below is not described because it is not published. The slide count, entry count, berth count and every dimension and weight on this page are published figures.

The figure that matters here is the cargo capacity. CrossRoads publishes a 9,740-pound GVWR against an 8,110-pound dry weight, which leaves 1,630 pounds — the second-tightest margin on the roster, on the plan rated for the most people. The published cargo capacity is 1,630 pounds and the plan is rated to sleep 12. Occupants count against cargo capacity, so a full crew plus gear will use most of it — load to the weight sticker, not to the berth count. The dry tongue is 950 pounds and the tank set is 45/42/42 gallons fresh/grey/black. 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.

The factory roster card rates the 328SB at twelve berths and the RVUSA record rates it at eight. The factory figure is used here, per the standing rule that the manufacturer's own roster wins; both are stated so you can see the spread.

Towing it

Tow rating needed9,740 lb
Published dry tongue weight950 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb974–1,461 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed9,740 lb towed / 1,461 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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 328SB on this page is highlighted.

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

Twelve berths against 1,630 pounds of cargo

The published cargo capacity is 1,630 pounds and the plan is rated to sleep 12. Occupants count against cargo capacity, so a full crew plus gear will use most of it — load to the weight sticker, not to the berth count.

Sleeps disagreement, factory used

The CrossRoads factory roster card rates the 328SB at twelve berths and the RVUSA record rates it at eight. The factory figure is rendered here and both are stated. Four Zinger plans carry a sleeps disagreement of this kind.

The cheapest twelve-berth Zinger

At about 49,900 dollars it undercuts the 331BH and 340BH, the roster's other twelve-berth plans, by roughly five thousand dollars.

Layout not published

CrossRoads publishes no floorplan description for the 328SB, so no interior arrangement is described here.

Weigh the loaded trailer

Dry weight is a factory estimate and real loaded tongue weights run above the 950-pound base — weigh the loaded trailer and use a weight-distributing hitch.

05 How it compares

← Lighter
Zinger 320FB

The 320FB — two fewer berths, 415 pounds lighter dry and 475 pounds more cargo capacity.

→ Step up
Zinger 340BH

The 340BH — the same twelve berths with an 11,450-pound GVWR and 568 more pounds of cargo capacity.

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), 23% of the 328SB’s 1,630 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,255 lb (105 lb per rated berth). Across 9 Zinger floorplans the water share runs 14% to 29%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Zinger 292RE at 18% and Zinger 331BH at 29%. 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 36 ft 8 in vs 36 ft 1 in; sleeps 12 vs 10; dry weight 8,110 lb vs 7,695 lb; GVWR 9,740 lb vs 9,800 lb; cargo capacity 1,630 lb vs 2,105 lb; dry hitch weight 950 lb vs 1,000 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

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.
