01 What makes it unique
The 340LR and the 340BH are the same length to the inch and separated by about 2,100 dollars, and they are not remotely the same trailer. CrossRoads rates the 340BH for twelve and the 340LR for six, on two slides instead of three and one entry instead of two. Thirty-eight feet spent on a lounge rather than on bunks. 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.
CrossRoads publishes an 11,200-pound GVWR against an 8,673-pound dry weight, leaving 2,527 pounds of cargo capacity — the second-largest margin on the roster, behind only the entry-level 280RB, and 897 pounds more than the twelve-berth 328SB. The dry tongue is 1,124 pounds, 172 pounds lighter than the 340BH's. The tank set is 45/84/42 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 340LR at six berths and the RVUSA record rates it at five; the factory figure is used. Note also the 11-foot awning — the second-shortest on the roster, on the second-longest body.

These graphics are generated from the same verified record that builds the table above, and are published under this site’s own licence — nothing here is traced from, or derived from, a manufacturer drawing or photo. Where a figure is not published for this plan, the graphic that would need it is omitted rather than estimated. The full record is in the published dataset.
What it takes to tow this
Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.
We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded tongue percentages are industry convention for travel trailers (10–15% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — read the rating stamped on your hitch. On this plan the convention band’s low end fell below the published dry figure, so the range starts at the published dry weight instead — 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 340LR 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 |

| 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 What owners & reviewers report
Six berths in 38 feet, with a big cargo margin
At 2,527 pounds the cargo capacity is the second-largest on the roster and 897 pounds more than the twelve-berth 328SB, which is 18 inches shorter.
An 11-foot awning on a 38-foot body
The factory publishes an 11-foot awning — the second-shortest on the roster, on the second-longest plan, and nine feet shorter than the same-length 340BH's. Corroborated against the RVUSA record.
Sleeps disagreement, factory used
The factory roster card rates the 340LR at six berths and the RVUSA record rates it at five. The factory figure is rendered and both are stated.
Layout not published
CrossRoads publishes no floorplan description for the 340LR, 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 1,124-pound base — weigh the loaded trailer and use a weight-distributing hitch.
05 How it compares
The 340BH — the same 38-foot body rated for twelve on three slides, 579 pounds heavier dry and a 172-pound heavier tongue.
The 292RE — the roster's other six-berth lounge plan, four and a half feet shorter and 1,123 pounds lighter dry.
The 390DB — five more feet, a 13,200-pound GVWR and eight berths.
06 Loading it for a trip
This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 45-gallon fresh tank is roughly 15% of the 2,527-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 340LR with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 2,527 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (45 gal × 8.34 lb) | −375 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 2,152 lb | 15% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 359 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 6 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry tongue weight of 1,124 pounds is 13% of the 8,673-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.
Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 11,200-pound GVWR the 340LR is towing 2,527 pounds more than its 8,673-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
Tank balance is generous here: 45 gallons of fresh against 84 grey and 42 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Ranked by GVWR, the 340LR sits 7 of 9 in the Zinger line: 11,200 pounds against a line that runs from 9,500 to 13,200 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.
Either side of it in the same line: Zinger 320FB is 1,400 pounds lighter at 9,800 lb GVWR; and Zinger 340BH is 250 pounds heavier at 11,450 lb GVWR.
| Comparable travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 340LR | 11,200 | 8,673 | 6 | 38 ft 2 in |
| Campsite Reserve 20JW | 11,205 | 8,774 | — | 35 ft 8 in |
| Cascade 20OGC | 11,210 | 8,349 | — | 35 ft 8 in |
| Avenger 30PO | 11,215 | 8,483 | 8 | 37 ft 5 in |
| Cherokee Timberwolf 16ML | 11,240 | 7,109 | — | 27 ft 9 in |
| Jay Flight 34RSBS | 11,250 | 8,780 | 6 | 37 ft 8 in |
| Coachmen Catalina 323MAZE | 11,130 | 9,130 | 4 | 37 ft 0 in |
Against the 340LR: the Campsite Reserve 20JW is 5 lb heavier and 2 ft shorter; the Cascade 20OGC is 10 lb heavier and 2 ft shorter; the Avenger 30PO is 15 lb heavier and sleeps 2 more. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.
Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.
For scale, the Zinger floorplans profiled here run 6,822 to 10,517 pounds dry and 33 to 43 feet of exterior length across 9 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.
Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Zinger line hub.
08 Common questions about the 340LR
How much does the 340LR weigh?
It leaves the factory at 8,673 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 11,200 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.
How much can the 340LR carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 2,527 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 45-gallon fresh tank uses about 375 pounds of that.
What is the tongue weight of the 340LR?
The published dry tongue weight is 1,124 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the 340LR need?
Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 11,200 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.
How many people does the 340LR sleep?
It is rated to sleep 6. Rated sleeping positions include convertible furniture, so count the beds against how you actually travel rather than against the number.
What are the tank capacities on the 340LR?
Fresh 45 gallons, grey 84 gallons, black 42 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.
How long is the 340LR?
Exterior length is 38' 2". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.
Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.
09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 16 of them for the 340LR. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.
Not published for this floorplan: exterior width, interior height, tire size (a tire description is published, a size is not). If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.
The completeness figure at the foot of this page (92%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.
Values on this page carrying an asterisk were derived by arithmetic from published figures, or come from a single source, rather than being printed directly by the manufacturer. The flag travels with the number into the downloadable spec sheet.
How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
11 NHTSA safety record
This floorplan belongs to the Zinger line, and NHTSA holds 16 recall campaigns and 14 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.
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%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.
Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Zinger line page.
