Hi, we just took delivery of our first travel trailer last week, a KZ Connect 201QB. It is just my husband, me and our 12 year old chihuahua, and hopefully our grandkids will join us occasionally. We are looking forward to all of the adventures and traveling.
We are looking forward to learning a lot about the KZ and just general camping since we are newbies to this forum and hope to make some new friends here.
I do have one question, under the KZ Product section I did not see the Connect listed ?
I was going to add a picture of our new trailer, but could figure out how to add attachment to my post.

Roxie Welcome to the Kz form an family 
Connections are very nice trailers an I know you an your husband an 4 legged friend will have many memories in it  There is lots of information here, sorry to say there is no Connect folder here do to the lack of updating this web page by Kz  But saying that there is a " General Board" an " General Question folder" that you can ask questions about your trailer or even this fold you have posted in As well there is a " Wish list " folder, "Upgrades an Modification " folder along with a number of folders regarding Kz trailers in the past an present that you can gain tons an I mean tons of information from  In order to post a picture click on the word "Reply" to your right on top of the bar, you will see another screen pop up with all the stuff you would see when sending an email ... To the right you will see add attachment, another smaller screen will pop up stating "add file", if you click on that it will take you to your computer folders were you can add a file pr picture ... Be aware an it will tell you that you can not load more than 3 files 1Meg per file, so make sure your picture is under 1 Meg. Again Welcome to the Kz Family an Kz Family folder an check out the " Rally with Kz " Folder, this rally is held about one mile form the factory in Indiana an is a week long... At the rally you get to meet many of the Kz Managers an Techs along with Lippert (LCI) Techs an service managers along with MorRyde reps, as well tours of the Kz MorRyde plants an other things around the town of Shipshewana Indiana an area an RV Hall of Fame which is a must see ...

Congratulations on your new trailer and welcome to the forums. If you have any questions, just ask away. There are many knowledgeable and helpful people on this site that will be glad to answer them for you. And remember that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

At one time, KZ used the name Spree Connect, you would be fine to just post under the Spree listing. Unlike many forums, this one isn't very busy and we aren't so formal in keeping everything in the exact place.
When you post click "Add Attachment" to upload a photo.

Thank you everyone for the kind welcome. I do have a newbie question, we currently keep our TT in our driveway, should we have the jack stands down when parked ? We have been going in and out of TT getting ready for camping season. Also, I think before when I couldn't post picture I was in mobile version of forum so wasn't getting attachment option. Unfortunately it says photo of TT is to large so I will have to figure out how to make image smaller before I can post it. Anyone else here from Nebraska? Thanks again everyone! |

Roxie I believe you do not have to put your jack stands down while loading up your trailer, jack stands are to stabilize your trailer while you are camping an moving around .... This is not to say you may want to stabilize your trailer if you want while loading, that's up to you ... Safe Travels Chuck |

While on the subject of stabilizers, know that you should level the traile side to side using blocks as required under the tires, then level front to rear with the tongue jack. After that, you can deploy the stabilizers using only very moderate pressure.
Now with the stabilizers down, keep in mind that a trailer should not be supported completely at the corners, so if a tire slowly goes down that will be the result. My recommendation would be to only use the stabilizers while using the trailer, at home or away, and during predicted bad weather. A frame can twist quite a bit and even if it returns to normal some damage can be done to the structure.

Hi Roxie, Fellow KZ owner from Southeast Nebraska here, we have a 2015 Durango 1500 5th wheel. Have had pretty good luck with it so far.
