Getting Close! KZ Sportsmen vs Spree?
I figured this was a different enough topic to start a new thread to keep things better organized.. I've learned SO much here and elsewhere in the past few weeks. Thank you to everyone who's answe...

Our 2008 K-Z Spree 240BH-LX was the last year this model was produced as a non-slide, 2009 and all subsequent years it was longer (by 18") and heavier (by ~ 500 lbs) and became the 240BHS. It was an unusual design, with two HUGE bunk beds oriented laterally across the width of the trailer at the rear and a third smaller bunk bed set along the curb side wall at the rear.
Certainly in those years the Spree with aluminum superstructure, fiberglass walls, and TPO roof membrane was considered a significant step up from the Sportsmen line which was stick & tin with an EPDM roof membrane. Friends of ours later owned a 2011 240BHS and to this day insist it was the best of the 8 different trailers they've owned over the years. We only sold ours after 6 yrs because our boys no longer camped with us but in retrospect we should have kept it and just used the bunk beds for occasional guests. The only thing I really didn't like at all about our Spree was the power Carefree of Colorado awning that had little tilt and would dump water all over us - I had the dealer swap it out for a good ol' manual Dometic 8500 which would tilt way down and could be used in any rainstorm.
JMO but if this triple bunk bed design appeals I'd be looking for a 2008 or earlier 240BH or if you insist on a slide then a 2009 or newer 240BHS. :B
