I have heard that KZ makes some good products and the quality is better than some others. With that being said, they are not doing any justice by the confusing terms you mentioned with their products. It's the wild west for RV manufacturers. They can say whatever they want because there are no standards. Then when an unsuspecting buyer buys a "1/2 ton towable" that has a gross weight of 10,000 pounds they come on RV.Net and start with the "whoa is me" song. The contracts the RV dealers use are so iron clad one has no recourse except to either sell the new RV at a great loss, or figure a way to buy a different tow vehicle that can handle it, after just making a major capitol investment. It sure isn't pretty. Is it?
I can agree with you on the KZ quality. While there may be a few niggling things inside ours, the fit and finish is better than many others out there, including our last FR product. We really like the layout in ours and is what sold us on it. It's the weight side of things that's wrong. And not just a little wrong. We also partly bought a KZ product because of their seemingly high reputation. But they are doing damage to that by playing the weight game like other manufacturers. I think it will come back to haunt them eventually IMHO. They just don't need to do this if they want to be heads above the others.
