Thinking of new 5er KZ 265th

I do not know anything about that particular model , but I can say that the KZ name has been a great name by us,... We love our KZ , and the factory has been wonderful. BUT , as is always the case , if you have a not so good dealer , that could prevent you from boasting about the brand you have. I have yet to meet a KZ owner that was not thrilled with their trailer....

Does KZ use Lippert frames?

On KZ sportsman I heard complaints that the roof mounted A/C is the lowest point on the roof and condensation pools up.

Yes I believe KZ uses lippert frames. We changed our suspension equalizers to equa flex by Lippert. World of difference in ride. Chucking reduced to almost nil.
Fit and finish of trl is for most part good. Bought ours used and are happy with it.

The KZ Spoertsmen I just sold after having it almost 7 years had no issues with water pooling and never ever leaked in the time I owned it. If I was buying a new Towable KZ would be at the top of the list if they had a floor plan we liked.

I sold my KZ Escape 14RB recently. At 3.5 years old the roof started leaking. Water would pool in places up there. I wasn't storing it under cover, which makes a difference I guess. It was a nice enough trailer otherwise.
