KZ Sportsmen 231MKSL
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $20,500.
dry weight 5,270 lb + fresh water (45 gal, full) 375 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 231MKSL's published weights held steady.

KZ (Mixed tier): KZ sits at the better end of the value tier: metal-sided stick construction like its budget rivals, but a 3/8" walk-on Tufflex roof, a standard enclosed and heated underbelly, and a 2-year hitch-to-bumper warranty put it a clear step above Hideout, Springdale or Salem FSX.
