We love this 2024 floor plan and the features that it comes with. Unfortunately, it was VERY poorly designed and assymbled at the factory and Thor/KZ will not make it right on this brand new fifth wheel! The KZ representative is very snotty to me and to the dealership where we are trying to get this unit back to the condition that it should have been in when delivered!1. The on demand water heater leaked like a fire hose!2. The 2 sliding doors between the bath and BR fall off every time we travel!3. The sliding king size bed falls apart!4. A wheel hub fell off on our first trip!5. NUMEROUS fit and finish issues and lack of quality!If Thor/KZ would just not be such rude jerks and fix what they should fix, we would be happy. Appearently, Thor/KZ does not opperate how most businesses do. Even the dealership is amazed!

We purchased this rig pre-owned. This is our seventh camper/RV in the past 17 years. So far its our favorite. Overall construction is better than average. Although this is a small 5th wheel, its layout makes it seem roomier. The rear kitchen is perfect for us, as we can both prep our meals together. There are lots of cabinets and drawers for all our stuff. The bathroom is comfortable and has a roomy 30x36 inch shower, a huge storage cabinet, and a ceramic bowl toilet. The bedroom is on the smaller side, but still has a full queen mattress. On the negative side, if you taller than 6 ft this may not work for you. Although the living area has tons of head room, the bedroom doesn't. I'm 5'10" and I can easily walk at the foot of the bed, but it quickly tapers off towards the head of the bed. Also, I had to modify some overhead lights as they are too bright. In particular, the bed light and the two lights over the couch. Overall, this is a great camper for the right couple, and we're glad we own it.

We purchased a new 2018 KZ Sportsmen in Oct. 2017. There were some quality issues that started within the first year. Initially some of the external decals began to peel. We had some replaced under warranty, but others peeled after the warranty expired. I've had to have the water pump replaced twice. About the summer of 2023 we noticed the jackknife sofa (made by Lippert) began to crack and peel. I have since learned this was a very common issue with that sofa. The KZ manufacturer gave me the Lippert manufacturing number to try and get some type of replacement. Lippert's employees will sell a Thomas Payne sofa as an aftermarket solution at a discount. Unfortunately, they have the retail price higher than the Amazon price, which means they're still making a nice profit while supposedly trying to "help" the consumer; however, even with a discount they don't have the sofa we need until June according to one of their aftermarket sales agents. So, I bought from Amazon which will deliver next week. KZ seems to wash their hands of any responsibility, also. Beware, Lippert jackknife couches are still found in many of the new RV's.

Excellent RV for active family that enjoys camping and their toys! Nice deck, with railing, for a view of the river, lake or beach! Extra sleeping and a generator to go off grid! Large residential refrigerator and covered slides. Can't go wrong with this unit.We are nearing retirement and need to downsize. We are looking for a smaller unit and we are limited on our toys at our golden age

This Fifth wheel is a complete piece of garbage. Purchased brand new. On delivery, the convertor was bad. The refrigerator didn’t work. The back patio awning was broken. Some of the window treatments were falling off the walls. Sent it back to fix. They fixed the window treatment and replaced the refrigerator with a cheaper model. Nothing was done to the awning. Sent it back three months later the refrigerator was replaced. Nothing fixed on the awning. Since then, one of the fireplaces is messed up. The window at the dining room is leaking really bad. The front side awning won’t go back in. For $100k you would expect better. Do yourself a favor and do not purchase this. You will have nothing but issues.

Bought brand new and every time we go on a trip there is a new issue. Leaking pipes, slide out went out, screws popping out every trip, couch unscrewing etc. I asked the MFR when does it qualify for lemon law and their response is all trailers loosen up when moved which is bull because I have had trailers for a long time. Very disappointed in how cheaply this is manufactured. Front window where we sleep leaks air like we are in a tent and have to sleep with bonus and I had the dealer seal it for us.

Highly recommend. This is our 4th RV (2nd Durango). Very livable floor plan with 2 sleeper sofas and a third recliner sofa set in rear entertainment area. Two sinks in bath area snd king size bed in master. Two a/c units, washer/dryer hookups and outside griddle. Full size fridge and 4 burner oven. Lots of storage inside and out. Very comfortable inside when weather is inclement outside (We normally travel with 3 dogs and three adult). F250 tows easily. Owned Casita and Lance prior and Durango has been best experience.

Overall this unit is very nice! All functional except disappointing pull down shade design/construction. If you want the shade to be down then put it there one time and leave it. The spring in the rod slips and won't reset. Bought new.

I bought this camper new. KZ as a company slips together these campers and does not test them for workability. They make excuses such as “we don’t make water heaters”. With that being said you don’t test out everything in the camper is in good working order before shipping off to a dealer. They don’t want to deal with anything. I bought this camper new in May 2023 and have brought it back to the dealer three times for failures. Water heater hose was too short and leaked all over and through the walls, alarm system poorly placed under bunk and kept going off for 45 minutes every time the camper was in use. No way to stop the alarm because it was hard wired in. Had to retire alarm and move by door. Radio did not work, covering for water tank, dragging on ground. Had to tape back up, inverter fell down and was hanging, propane not working or able to run heat and refrigerator off propane. Thank goodness I purchased the warranty through the dealer. I do not recommend anything from KZ. Absolute awful craftsmanship and quality. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. Totally unsatisfied.

This has been a mess since our first trip. Leaking windows, poor build quality, bad awning, poor holding tank ventilation, cracked pieces of wood supporting lower bunk, broken pull out roller supports… Warranty work has been terrible. Now all of the exterior stickers are bubbling off. Run away fromKZ!
