WHAT ONE COSTS
price not published

The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap — treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~8,606 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 7,180 lb + fresh water (75 gal, full) 626 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around9,565 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)10,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,390 lb (16% — high, eats payload)
Cargo capacity2,820 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 40 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin — per model year, because the 30TH12's published weights held steady.

HOW IT'S BUILT — 4/5
WallsLaminated fiberglass
FrameAluminum
RoofWalk-on
UnderbellyEnclosed

KZ (Mixed tier): KZ's toy hauler line (Thor Industries), sold as Sportsmen Sportster through 2016, Sportster/Sportster 100 from 2017, and Sportster X since 2025. Construction is mid-pack for the segment — aluminum-framed laminated fiberglass walls, a 3/8" walk-on roof and a heated, enclosed underbelly — with a Tuff Ply garage floor and diamond-plate wall protection that hold up well. KZ's assembly quality is uneven unit to unit, which is why it lands in the middle rather than at the top.

FINDING ONE

Findable — a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: KZ is a volume manufacturer; only 2 model years; 10 years out of production. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

12-foot garage with 96" of cargo height; KZ never published an A/C exterior height for this plan.
