kz travel trailer
just wondering what your opinion is with the kz brand. We are purchasing a 2014 kz spree 280 rls and hope we picked the right one....thanks (hate buyers remorse)

When comparing different brands and models, one thing I found if I remember correctly with the KZ is the axles were not rated as high, so it didn't have a lot of reserve cargo capacity. The average camper adds about 1k lbs to the trailer dry weight. It was the Sportsmen, comparable to the Jay Flight- 2yr warranty, Al/ wood construction, etc. I never went to look at them in person though.
One thing I found in shopping is some tt's had 4400lb axles, but a 9500lb gvwr for example...... Relying on adding some of the tw that the tv carries to the axle ratings to have a higher gvwr. Not sure if this is similar for other models, but it was for a comparable floorplan of our Jayco.
Other than that from what I found online KZ seemed like a pretty good trailer, some good, and a lemon occasionally just like any other brand.
Good luck!
