KZ Durango Gold RV Tour

Did I mention the rear patio? Yes, this fifth wheel has a drop-down patio that creates the perfect space to watch sunsets and sunrises alike.  

There are two primary reasons we chose this floor plan. The first was the mid-bunkroom. 

As a couple who works on the road and travels long term, moving into an RV with a separate space that could be used as an office was a huge lure for us. Sometimes, you need to take a call and be able to close the door. It’s also convenient to have a designated desk area separate from the living room space. In a small space, just a little separation goes a long way.   

The other main drawing point was that this floor plan had a deck. 

We’ve always envied the deck space that many toy haulers offer, but a toy hauler was never something necessary for our travel style. When we saw that KZ RV offered a floor plan that was a standard fifth wheel and a patio, we couldn’t convince ourselves to look anywhere else. 

Having two dogs means a lot of time outside. Our dogs love to sit outside at campgrounds, but we would always have to leash them up and sit and hold them. Our fifth wheel’s patio is the perfect spot for our dogs to be able to enjoy the outdoors without needing to get their harness and leash on. 

A large sliding door leading to the patio offers substantial sunlight. We are grateful for any large window space, so an entire sliding door was above what we ever expected from an RV. 

This RV is new to us, and we are excited to take it all around the country this year. 

Something special about this unit is KZ RV’s option to add a solar package. The package on our RV comes with 2,000 watts of solar panels, a 5,000-watt inverter, and three 60 AH Expion360 lithium batteries. 

With this package we are ready to embark into the world of boondocking, a style of camping we’ve never experienced before. Changes like this keep our adventures fresh. While we haven’t done it yet, we are already daydreaming of camping in the wide expanse of the United States’ West Coast, completely engulfed in nature.  

Our RV is perfect for boondocking because it also has:

• An 80-gallon freshwater tank, which is much larger than the 40 we had before. 
• A tankless water heater allowing our propane to heat our water. 
• The AC system is set up in the RV’s “attic” on a track system, passing the cool air through the entire AC instead of the traditional “dump” system on a lot of RV AC units. 
• Has a ceiling fan. Game changer.  

Living in a small space, and specifically a small space that is constantly on the move, you realize it’s the details that make all the difference to your daily life.

Some features that seem small but make all the difference to our happiness on the road are:

• Storage space in the bathroom
• A coat closet that keeps our dogs’ leashes stored out of sight
• A dining table that doubles as a work desk. 

Any feature that has dual functionality is a major plus in our books. A loft for guests that also works as a cat haven? Major plus. A back patio that gives you patio space and a large sliding door for extra light? Major plus.  

Our unit has wall outlets in abundance. This is something we’d never consider when touring an RV, but when spending a lot of time in one, it’s a small detail that has a huge impact. 

The frameless windows on the exterior not only look nice, they keep out heat on hot days and chill on cool days. 

Our couch has power-operated recliners. Maybe not something you find necessary on the RV lot, but something you come to appreciate after one or two broken manual recliners.  

We are so happy with our decision. KZ RV is known for providing excellent customer service and making quality units. So far, that has been precisely what we have experienced.
