KZ Sportsmen RV Reviews on RV Insider (2024)

We really enjoyed this floor plan, and PRICE POINT. It’s very comfortable for moving around and has a lot of comfortable sleeping areas. The kitchen setup is great and feels roomy. We love the dual entrance bathroom from both the hallway and master bedroom. The bathroom is roomy with the curved shower door for extra movement space. We loved having a dresser in the bedroom, plus under bed storage! The storage is fantastic throughout. I don’t think we even used all the space we had. Lots of big windows to enjoy the great outdoors and let light in… including three skylight/vents. If you want a very nice trailer without spending all your savings, it’s a fantastic choice. (I only gave it a 4 on towing because we never did tow it. No reason to believe there was any issues.)

I love this Sportsmen 235RK. I have lived in it for 2 years year round. It is high quality. All the automatic equipment works. The furnace keeps me warm and toasty all winter. The rooftop air conditioner is ice cold in the summer. All the seals have been fine. The plumbing has worked perfectly. In short, I have had zero problems with this RV. The dry weight is 5925 with GVW of 7000 lbs makes it a breeze to tow with 1/2 ton truck.

Tows like a dream. Light weight so minimal slowing when driving up long hills. Streets and parks very easily and it's 10'6" height let's it go almost anywhere. It's 27' length makes efficient use of it's space. Very comfortable and roomy once you get used to RV living.

Don't buy a KZ unit. From the day I picked it up there were problems. I bought it new from a dealer. 1/ the flooring was covering a heating vent. It was never cut our and a cover never put on it. I was lucky I noticed it before I left the dealer. 2/ The first night I had it it leaked from the skylight in the bathroom.3/ The floor dips right near the kitchen, it's not level. 4/ The connection under the kitchen table has 2 posts in a socket screwed to the bottom of the table. there were several screws missing from this bottom connection. The table wobbled quite a bit till I fixed it my self. 5/ The propane tanks were 2 years old 6/ Some door latches, hinges lock sockets had 1 screw rather than 2 or more. 7 Cabinet doors don't line up. 8/Kitchen sink drain leaks onto cutlery drawer9 / Awning posts don't work properly after a years use. 10/ The large slide is defective11/ It leaks near the space between the slides. It seemed to me it was assembled by someone who did not care about their work and the person that inspected it should have been fired for missing so many defects. I would never buy a KZ trailer again.

Propane line was cracked and I had to take it in to the dealership to repair. The refrigerator quit working after one month. I was charged for a service call even though the dealership and manufacturer were aware of this problem. If you buy a brand new camper you expect everything to work at least in the beginning. Love the layout of the camper but had to purchase a new mattress as well. It was like sleeping on the floor. I will never buy another sportsmen. Poor quality.

We are loving our 231 RK Sportsman 5th wheel. We have put over 7,000 miles on it in the last 18 months. Like all new products these days we have had a few issues, but between our dealer, Tri-Am RV in Ocala, and the great factory warranty group at KZ we have gotten everything handled quickly and very professionally.

No pre-drill’s for the wood support for bed fridge anything Bed wood was warped and had to be replaced anything except the tv Which was over drilled and fell out the first day and was hanging by coax Cabinet locks were not put in right so they moved in and out, the floor had to be re-straightened because it was coming up and wavy, fridge won’t stay on while driving 1 hour tops, found 3 gas leaks, when filling the water tank water fills in wall under fridge, the square metal frame holding the ramp door is actually pulling away from the roof and the floor so you can see light through them the pulldown screen in the back has just come off the wall because there’s no anchors and they just screwed it into the drywall or whatever that crap is called so when I fell down I was able to see the hole from the roof and the back frame, sink leaks into cabinet, All their fake walls are a joke by the microwave in the cabinet and by the hot water heater put in place by one screw Kinda, The walls of the shower aren’t even sealed at all and they move one barely touched so I can’t even use the damn shower, only had two trips, 12 hr on road only had this for a few months. The quality control is gone they do not pre-drill so all the wood is cracked nothing is tighten down nothing is anchored nothing is bolted correctly complete crap they’re sitting there getting drunk or some sh*t and there is no quality control. I regret the decision of this purchase so much I’m so screwed now I can’t even get a single trip without having to turn around because all my food is bad or too much sh*t is broken and I can’t keep going

The overall quality of our unit is good, the few small problems we had with our rig our dealer ( Triam RV In Ocala Fl) handled quickly and without any long delays. We have spent over 100 nights in our trailer since we purchased it in February of 2020 and plan to go to Alaska next year. We love our KZ Sportsman.

Avoid this Manufacture. I bought my KZ trailer March 25th 2018. This season we noticed the decals are pealing and has made the whole trailer look 15 years old. I have had a number of campers ask how old my trailer is due to the poor look of the outside. I reached out to KZ to get them replaced. This is what I was told word for word. 'Thank you for supply the photos. I’ve reviewed your history. Your unit was manufactured 8/1/2017. The ending date on your warranty was 3/24/2018. The unit was built 4 years ago and warranty ended almost a year and a half ago. I’m unable to cover the decals under warranty, however, I can sell the decals to you directly."So basically they are saying I bought a trailer with the warranty already ended. I have asked for this to be escalated to a senior manager to discuss and they have now decided to no longer respond to me about the issue with this trailer.I have had a pervious trailer from a better manufacture that never had issues with the decals like this one and that was 10yrs old.Absolutely terrible customer care. There are way better manufactures out there with better customer care.
