KZ Show Stopper vs Spree Connect

Hello all. Can anyone tell me about the differences between these two models? Material differences, and how about winter camping differences? The Spree states it is made with a heated and enclosed belly. So I am assuming the SS does not have that at all? Thank you
  • Another thing about the way all companies use ducts from the furnace to heat the underbelly....it is a highway for mice and needs to either be closed off or screened. I can see things degrading since Thor bought KZ. As Lynnmor stated the Showstopper was a stripped down Sportsman with the spree having more szhmaltz )lol). The Connect was introduced as a cost cutting Spree as the Spree prices are out of sight now.
  • I can see why you are asking. The brochures no longer tell you anything worthwhile about the construction.

    The Sportsman was a stick and tin version of the Spree. The Show Stopper was a cost cutting version of the Sportsman. The Connect is a trailer designed for easier towing without regard for usefulness.

    The heated underbelly is just a 2" hose blowing furnace air near the water tank. Pretty much a waste as these trailers are not suited for winter camping.
