KZ Sportsmen 5th Wheel reviews

I’ve owned four 5th wheels over the years and the 231RK has provided me the best experience. My first two units were monsters, big and stressful to pull. Trying to find an adequate space to park and camp and having a truck large enough to pull it were downsides for me. I’m a good driver, but as I get older I don’t want to be driving and pulling large vehicles anymore. The 231RK in my opinion is a perfect size for my wife and I to travel. It pulls like a dream and I can easily do that with my F150! We can unhook and still have a convenient vehicle to drive around the local area. For those who like 5th wheels but want something more manageable for traveling, I recommend checking this out. We have found that vacationing and seeing the country has worked better for us and we can get camping spots much easier with the 231RK. It has everything we need to enjoy our time adventuring around the country! Show less

We really enjoyed this floor plan, and PRICE POINT. It’s very comfortable for moving around and has a lot of comfortable sleeping areas. The kitchen setup is great and feels roomy. We love the dual entrance bathroom from both the hallway and master bedroom. The bathroom is roomy with the curved shower door for extra movement space. We loved having a dresser in the bedroom, plus under bed storage! The storage is fantastic throughout. I don’t think we even used all the space we had. Lots of big windows to enjoy the great outdoors and let light in… including three skylight/vents. If you want a very nice trailer without spending all your savings, it’s a fantastic choice. (I only gave it a 4 on towing because we never did tow it. No reason to believe there was any issues.) Show less

I love this Sportsmen 235RK. I have lived in it for 2 years year round. It is high quality. All the automatic equipment works. The furnace keeps me warm and toasty all winter. The rooftop air conditioner is ice cold in the summer. All the seals have been fine. The plumbing has worked perfectly. In short, I have had zero problems with this RV. The dry weight is 5925 with GVW of 7000 lbs makes it a breeze to tow with 1/2 ton truck. Show less

We are loving our 231 RK Sportsman 5th wheel. We have put over 7,000 miles on it in the last 18 months. Like all new products these days we have had a few issues, but between our dealer, Tri-Am RV in Ocala, and the great factory warranty group at KZ we have gotten everything handled quickly and very professionally.

The overall quality of our unit is good, the few small problems we had with our rig our dealer ( Triam RV In Ocala Fl) handled quickly and without any long delays. We have spent over 100 nights in our trailer since we purchased it in February of 2020 and plan to go to Alaska next year. We love our KZ Sportsman. Show less

We purchased a 2020 Sportsmen 344BH 5th wheel in August of 2019 and the original dealership has been “less than useless”. KZ customer service and ESPECIALLY Crystal Toma has been more than amazing in getting everything resolved. You know going in when you purchase a brand new RV from any manufacturer that you will have some start up problems, your goal is to keep things to a minimum and not miss any camping time. Crystal and KZ have stood behind their product and have been able to keep me camping during this process, I would not hesitate to purchase another KZ 5th wheel in the future. Show less

I have been living full time in my 2021 KZ 231RK fifth wheel for eight months now. I've been impressed with the overall build and construction quality. The plumbing, electric, walls, floors, suspension are equal to higher quality and more expensive trailers. When changing out my roof vent, I discovered two small punctures in my TPO roof membrane. It is a Dicor product of good quality but only 30 mil thick. What's the point of having a walk on roof when a small pebble in the bottom of your shoe can puncture the plastic membrane. The entertainment center built into the cabinets above the dinette is a design mess. With only 9" of depth, and with the poor sounding audio system taking up so much cabinet space, I don't bother putting anything in it. The TV is mounted so high on the cabinet that you need a neck brace to watch it. Without the poor sounding audio system mounted below the TV, the TV could be mounted much lower. Show less

This is a great value and nice finishes throughout. It’s spacious and makes a great trailer for toys, pets, kids and fun. The KZ Sportster has a modern interior and nice LED lights. The garage is very large and can fit motorcycles or side by sides up to 10’ long. It’s a lightweight trailer for the size. Many upgrades abound including a nice sized pantry and walk in full shower. Also has a beautiful living area that is spacious. Show less
