Can someone give me the Pro's and con's of the KZ RV line? We've been looking and found one that we like. We went to a dealer yesterday that we have been watching on YouTube. His dealership has gotten great reviews. And this particular dealer only sells the KZ line. He said he and his wife started their dealership 20 yrs ago. Before that, for years he worked for different dealers. Dealers that sold multiple lines. And after a while he started noticing that the KZ line was one that he didn't see a lot of with returns of problems? So when he decided to take the leap and start his own dealership. He had decided to sell only one line. One that he trusted. I'm thinking that there has to be something to it. Because he's done just that as I said for 20 yrs now. Does anyone out there have any feedback or experience with this line and/or model? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!....First time post BTW!  |

ajax, Thor purchased KZ in 2014. I am not aware of the reason why (it was not because KZ was failing), most likely it was because of market dominance, Thor wanting to be the big dog on the block. Of all the manufacturers that Thor owns, only Airstream and Jayco predate KZ. The Sportsman line of travel trailers put KZ on the map with their upgraded floorplans, light weight, durability and price. Where I come from KZ Sportsman trailers dominate the market (or at least appear to by the numbers of them I see in the local campgrounds). KZ seems to be able to produce a quality well built product that cost less than the other major brands, is lighter and has better durability over their entire line. As with any RV they are not perfect and a lot of your experience will have to do with the selling dealer. Are there better RV manufacturers out there, I would assume that there is, of the ones that I can afford (today) I would say no. I have only found 1 manufacturer that is worthy of the title best of the best (Spacecraft) but they are so far out of my league it's not even funny. That being said I could buy 3 KZ's for the price of 1 and be farther ahead. Research the dealer and go for it, I'm sure overall you will enjoy your purchase. Happy camping.

I bought my KZ Spree 32BHS four years ago, and have never regretted it. I have had a couple of small issues but no major. Never had to take it back to the dealer. It had a two year warranty, which I thought was a plus. I believe they are a quality camper. If I needed a replacement part I just took it to the dealer and no questions asked, they replaced it. One thing I did do was to replace all the hot halogen light bulbs in the camper with LED's.

Jetzen and Abs,
Thank you for your response. We went to a dealer that we have been watching on YouTube. His dealership has gotten great reviews. And this particular dealer only sells the KZ line. He said he and his wife started their dealership 20 yrs ago. Before that, for years he worked for different dealers. Dealers that sold multiple lines. And after a while he started noticing that the KZ line was one that he didn't see a lot of returns with problems? So when he decided to take the leap and start his own dealership. He had already decided to sell only one line, One that he trusted. I'm thinking that there has to be something to it. Because he's done just this as I said for 20 yrs now. And as I said, he has great reviews. I haven't found not one negative word about them!

ajax, what dealer would that be, would like to watch his video's. Can't really see any disadvantage to owning a KZ product. Overall they make a very good product. Watched them/their products for a while before the DW and I pulled the trigger and purchased one. While I still waiting for the delivery day I am confident it will be a good experience.
