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.

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 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 |
| 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
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
A full 45-gallon fresh tank is about 375 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 15% of the 340LR’s 2,527 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,152 lb (359 lb per rated berth). Across 9 Zinger floorplans the water share runs 14% to 29%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Zinger 290KB at 15% and Zinger 340BH at 17%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Zinger 340BH, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): sleeps 6 vs 12; dry weight 8,673 lb vs 9,252 lb; GVWR 11,200 lb vs 11,450 lb; cargo capacity 2,527 lb vs 2,198 lb; dry hitch weight 1,124 lb vs 1,296 lb. They match on length, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Either side of it by GVWR: Zinger 320FB is 1,400 lb lighter (9,800 lb GVWR); Zinger 340BH is 250 lb heavier (11,450 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.
