01 What makes it unique
The 260BH is the 252BH with a slide, a bigger fresh tank and a much heavier body. CrossRoads describes an ideal family trailer with a queen bed, two generous bunks and a cozy dinette, a well-appointed kitchen and a bathroom with a spacious shower, and says it comfortably sleeps up to six people — while the factory roster card rates it at ten. Both figures come from CrossRoads; the roster card is the one rendered here. It is about 31 feet with a 14-foot awning. The 2025 published standards for the tandem-axle Zinger Lite list the same Super Flex Alpha roof under a limited lifetime warranty, a heated and enclosed underbelly, a tankless water heater, a 3-burner range with a 17-inch oven and an electric awning.
The number to look hard at is the cargo capacity. CrossRoads publishes a 7,600-pound GVWR against a 6,144-pound dry weight, leaving 1,456 pounds — the tightest margin of all 21 plans in the Zinger family, on a plan rated for ten. The published cargo capacity is 1,456 pounds and the plan is rated to sleep 10. 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. Filling the 45-gallon fresh tank is roughly another 375 pounds against that figure. The 800-pound dry tongue is 228 pounds heavier than the 252BH's for two more feet of trailer.

03 The Zinger Lite floorplan family
The Zinger Lite is the lighter tandem-axle roster in the Zinger family — a separate floorplan set from the full-size Zinger and from the single-axle Zinger Lite Mini, not a trim of either. Five plans are profiled in full and linked below; the 295BH is catalogued and shown muted because CrossRoads publishes no hitch weight, cargo capacity or GVWR for it. The 260BH on this page is highlighted.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 190RB | 25 ft | 4 | Booth dinette and a queen bed |
| 252BH | 28 ft | 10 | Queen bed and a set of bunk beds |
| 260RL | 30 ft | 4 | Queen bed, booth dinette and a fireplace |
| 260BH | 31 ft | 10 | Queen bed, two bunks and a dinette |
| 290QB | 33 ft | 11 | Two bunks, a queen bed and an 80-inch dinette |
| 295BH | 33 ft | 8 | 41 x 70 in bunks and a queen bed |
Zinger Lite is a cross-shop against Jayco's Jay Flight SLX, Forest River's Aurora Light and Salem / Wildwood, Keystone's Passport and Grand Design's Transcend Xplor. The family runs three separate rosters that share no floorplan codes: the full-size Zinger, this tandem-axle Zinger Lite and the single-axle Zinger Lite Mini. The 2026 factory roster carries six travel-trailer plans; five are profiled here in full and the 295BH is catalogued from published specifications because CrossRoads publishes N/A for its hitch weight, cargo capacity, height and tanks and RVUSA carries no GVWR for it. 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
The tightest cargo margin in the family
At 1,456 pounds the published cargo capacity is the smallest of all 21 plans across the three Zinger rosters — on a plan the roster card rates for ten. A full 45-gallon fresh tank is roughly another 375 pounds against it.
The factory's own two figures
The CrossRoads factory roster card rates the 260BH at ten berths; the CrossRoads floorplan description says it comfortably sleeps up to six. Both are first-party. The roster card figure is rendered and both are stated.
1,236 pounds heavier than the 252BH
The 260BH carries the same ten-berth rating as the 252BH on 1,236 pounds more dry weight and 1,186 pounds less cargo capacity, for about 6,600 dollars more.
A queen bed, two bunks and a dinette
The factory describes a queen bed, two generous bunks, a cozy dinette and a bathroom with a spacious shower.
Weigh the loaded trailer
Dry weight is a factory estimate and real loaded tongue weights run above the 800-pound base — weigh the loaded trailer and use a weight-distributing hitch.
05 How it compares
The 252BH — the same ten-berth rating, 1,236 pounds lighter dry, 1,186 pounds more cargo and about 6,600 dollars less.
The 260RL — effectively the same body rated for four, on an 8,800-pound GVWR that buys 978 more pounds of cargo.
Keystone's Passport — the lightweight family cross-shop.
