01 What makes it unique
The 331BH is the plan CrossRoads built around the tank set. It is the only Zinger with a 54-gallon fresh tank and the only one with 60-gallon grey and black tanks — every other plan on the roster runs 45 gallons fresh and either 39/39, 42/42 or an 84-gallon grey. The factory describes a queen bed and a bunkhouse with a flip-up bunk, a fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen and a living area with a dinette and sofa, on three slides and two entries in about 37 and a half feet. 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 trade is payload. CrossRoads publishes a 9,735-pound GVWR against an 8,195-pound dry weight, leaving 1,540 pounds of cargo capacity — the tightest margin on the roster, on a plan rated to sleep twelve. The published cargo capacity is 1,540 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. Note also that the bigger tanks are part of the dry weight only when empty: 54 gallons of fresh water is another 450 pounds against that 1,540. The dry tongue is 1,165 pounds.
The factory roster card rates the 331BH at twelve berths and the RVUSA record rates it at six. The factory figure is used here and both are stated.

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). The range starts at the published dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.
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 331BH 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 |

| 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 |

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 only 54/60/60 tank set on the roster
The 54-gallon fresh, 60-gallon grey and 60-gallon black tanks are unique to the 331BH among the nine 2026 Zinger plans — the longest dry-camping range in the line.
The tightest cargo margin on the roster
The published cargo capacity is 1,540 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. A full 54-gallon fresh tank is roughly another 450 pounds against that figure.
Sleeps disagreement, factory used
The factory roster card rates the 331BH at twelve berths and the RVUSA record rates it at six — the widest sleeps spread in the family. The factory figure is rendered and both are stated.
Three slides and two entries
The factory describes a queen bed and a bunkhouse with a flip-up bunk, plus a fireplace, dinette and sofa, on three slides.
Weigh the loaded trailer
Dry weight is a factory estimate and real loaded tongue weights run above the 1,165-pound base — weigh the loaded trailer and use a weight-distributing hitch.
05 How it compares
The 328SB — the same twelve-berth rating, 85 pounds lighter dry, 90 pounds more cargo and about 5,200 dollars less.
The 340BH — twelve berths on an 11,450-pound GVWR, which buys back 658 pounds of cargo capacity.
Keystone's Springdale — the value-bracket bunkhouse cross-shop.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 54-gallon fresh tank is about 450 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 29% of the 331BH’s 1,540 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,090 lb (91 lb per rated berth). Across 9 Zinger floorplans the water share runs 14% to 29%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: 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 328SB, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 8 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 37 ft 6 in vs 36 ft 8 in; dry weight 8,195 lb vs 8,110 lb; GVWR 9,735 lb vs 9,740 lb; cargo capacity 1,540 lb vs 1,630 lb; dry hitch weight 1,165 lb vs 950 lb; fresh tank 54 gal vs 45 gal; grey tank 60 gal vs 42 gal; black tank 60 gal vs 42 gal. They match on sleeps.

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.
