| Re: Keystone Fuzion toy hauler travel trailer | Bonnie | What I really like about this is the separation. I don't like the feeling that I'm living in a garage and a couple of the floorplans really look like they've thought this one through. Impressive. Going to take a look. |
| Re: Keystone Energy toy hauler travel trailer | Will G | Really cool. I'm a Keystone fan, my friend has an Energy and he loves it. |
| Re: Keystone Bullet travel trailer | AlliK | We have a 2009 Bullet. I really thought long and hard about buying it with such a smaller width but we went with it and never regretted it. It tows beautifully and we love the interior, all the space we need. |
| Re: Keystone Bullet travel trailer | Rob J | We have a 2008 282BHS Bullet that tows really well with our Dodge Ram. This is a bunkhouse model and with a family of 5 I like the liteweight, the bunks and good storage. I don't see the 282BHS in the 2010 floorplans but it's more or less like the 281. Really nice trailer. |
| Re: Keystone Hornet travel trailer | gene f | have the 2010 hornet with slide on each side and love will be camping all year |
| Re: Keystone Montana fifth wheel | Joyce | We were able to secure out decals thru Burlington Graphics. It depends on the model year as to them replacing them at no cost. Before 2005 I understand is out of warranty. Call Montana for info. |
| Re: Keystone Bullet ultralite travel trailer | Gordo | Want to know more about the Keystone Bullet 180FBS |
| Re: Keystone Springdale travel trailer | Patsy | I have been looking at the springdale 267bhssr specifically so was glad to see the video of it. My question is how wide are the bunks on this model. Unable to find on the internet. |
| Re: Keystone Hornet travel trailer | Clyde J | Really like the Hornet. We had a 2004 model that we used on occasions (it was my brothers.) We really liked it and it had very few problems. Well made. Particularly like the big 31RBDS model with the bunks. Going to take a look at it. Thanks. |
| Re: Keystone Passport travel trailer | Ralph J | Really like Keystone trailers. I had a keystone zeppelin for a while and we loved it. I'm thinking about a trailer for next year and the new keystones look good. |
| Re: Keystone Montana fifth wheel | Decal Searcher | I need to replace some decals on our 2003 Montana Fifth Wheel and am unable to get them through Keystone. Can anyone help and tell me where to find them? Thanks |
| Re: Keystone Passport travel trailer | David | The wife and I had been looking for TT's when we found a 2009 P/P 285RLS in SC while on a return trip from GA to VA. My complaints are limited to 1-Thermostat mounted cockeyed. 2-Careless mounting of cabinet doors. 3-Careless mounting of hinges for dinette table. 4-Sloppy job of sealing the outside, sealant everywhere. 5-Front applique is peeling at the top. Other than that I have enjoyed this gem for the last 12 months. |
| Re: Keystone Outback travel trailer | Marv H | Have a 290RLS Sidney Series Outback. Love the Floorplan. Very Few Problems |
| Re: Keystone Outback Loft travel trailer | Jim | My wife and I bought this trailer about 3 weeks ago. We just took it out for the first time last weekend. Talk about being the talk of the camp! We had people constantly stopping to ask us questions and we also gave a tour to 2 different park rangers! This was our first time out in a travel trailer...we have always tent camped....we love this trailer and can't wait to go out again. I don't have anything negative to say about this trailer.....it is just too cool! We had an additional air condition vent added to the loft....it can get pretty hot up there. We also used a squirrel cage fan at the top of the steps to help circulate the air up there and it stayed really cool. |
| Re: Keystone Raptor fifth wheel toy hauler | Greg B | Just purchased a Raptor Velocity 380LEV nice so far. Love the zone living also known as the MAN CAVE. Had a 07 Everest340B that was great. A Good dealer will make the experience. Just miss the King size bed. |
| Re: Keystone Sprinter travel trailer | Jean | We have a Keystone Sprinter. No real problems. Keystone make a good trailer. |
| Re: Keystone Montana fifth wheel | Keith L | We love our 2006 Montana and have had virtually nothing in maintenance costs. Nothing major gone wrong and most other things I've dealt with. Great 5er. |
| Re: Keystone Raptor fifth wheel toy hauler | Brian S | I had an '06 Raptor that I loved, just bought an '09 Velocity 380. From what I can tell the quality has gone downhill. I have a list so long of things wrong I want my old one back. |

| Re: Keystone Cougar fifth wheel | Fern Slotman | We are using our 32' Cougar 5th wheel for the first time this week. Bought it used. We like it so far, but the fan is rather noisy when the air conditioning is on. May have to have that looked into. We will see how everything goes as time goes on. |
| Re: Keystone Cougar fifth wheel | T.R.V. | I have a 2009 cougar SAB 293 and the heat system doesn`t heat the camper properly. It is around 90 degrees in the back bedroom and about 50 degrees in the front bedroom.the front two vents blow a very small amount of air.I was under the impression the heating system would heat the camper close to the same temperature in the front as well as in the back.I was also told by the dealer the heater is located towards the rear so it would be the warmest area.So I assume the furnace duct work is for looks. |
| Re: Keystone Montana fifth wheel | RipWest | We have a 2008 Montana 5er and the Montana name is coming off. It is now our thought to take the name off as Keystone won't replace it or at least the dealer tells me that. |
| Re: Keystone Montana fifth wheel | PATTIE S | BILLY K - DID YOU EVER FIND DECALS FOR YOUR 2002 MONTANTA 5TH WHEEL. OURS ARE PEELING BADLY AND NEED REPLACED. I CAN'T FIND ANYONE THAT HAS ANY. |
| Re: Keystone Montana fifth wheel | pepsicat | We need to replace the graphics on our 2004 Montana fifth wheel. Can you tell us where we ca acquire them. Thanks |
| Re: Keystone Bullet ultralite travel trailer | Whezee | My husband and I are currently looking for a lightweight travel trailer we can pull with our 1/2 ton pick-up & still have the amenities of a larger trailer. Depending on the price --- this just may be our answer! |
| Re: Keystone Passport travel trailer | MikeP | We looked over the 189ML Express at the denver RV show. Liked it but wonder why their didn't put in any drawers. Hope the 199ML model had some for silverware and stuff |
| Re: Keystone Cougar fifth wheel | MK | We have the 293 SAB and love the separation with the back and front. However, Keystone has a problem with the 2008 first run models. Well, Ours had lots of problems, most fixed by now. Before you buy one, TURN ON THE HEATER, make sure there is enough air getting to the front of the RV. Our RV is unusable in the winter due to this problem DO NOT SIGN ANY CONTRACTS, until you have done this. Keystone says they will be able to fix it, but they can't. Our 5th wheel has been service since November 13th 2008, today is February 6, 2009. Room tempature measurements after 8 hours of nonstop furnace running: Bask bedroom 91 degrees, front bedroom 54 degrees. The themostat is in the front of the RV so it never cycled off in over 8 of being set at 70 degrees. |
| Re: Keystone Residence destination trailer | Kenny 4234 | Looking to buy into this destination trailer idea. Looking at trailers and parks etc. We want one fairly close so that we can use it most weekends. Have good experience with Keystone. Had a Cougar 5th wheel for 3 years and we had very few problems. |
| Re: Keystone Outback Loft travel trailer | Sonja | Wow, I love things that are unusual. When I spotted the new Outback Loft I said to my husband that I have to have it. Now I need to find one and get the money. I am excited about this trailer. What a great idea. |
| 2003 Keystone Everest 5th Wheel | RV Tumbleweed | We bought a new Keystone Everest 5th wheel, model 293 i, in Dec., 2002, as we were looking for a mid-range unit & better construction. It has served us well. We are full-timers, and have about 80,000 miles on our 5'vr. Two structural issues - when new we had to take it to the factory to resolve a roof problem because the plywood had not been screwed down properly. After a trip to Mexico we lost a leaf spring on one side and found the shackles holding the unit to the frame were wearing through and needed replacement. A dealer told us it was a common Everest problem and they had come out with a replacement kit. Otherwise outside of the usual issues with shades, Dometic refrig.recall, poor drawer slides, it has served us well. Enjoy. |
| 2006 Keystone Zeppelin 2 | Norbert | I have a 2006 Zeppelin 291 with a similar problem. The slide when it is pulled in is out of square in the opening. The slide is tilted lower in the front. It almost looks like the floor of the slide or the roller at the front is the problem. The dealer can't seem to figure it out. Also the cables are too slack when the slide is out. The folks at Norco who made the Accu-slide have told me that the cables would not affect the slide being out of square. The unit was bought brand new and has never been in an accident. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? |
| 2008 Keystone Cougar Fifth-Wheel | Ken H | Like Keystone. Bought a 2008 cougar 5th wheel 276. Excellent quality in the RV and have had only a couple of minor problems. I guess a lot depends on the dealer it was purchased from. |
| Keystone Montana | Carey Mac Staples | We like the RV except for the axle and springs. It seems they used a leaf spring that was too small causing breaks. Like it very much. Dealer very nice, warranty non-existant. Country Campers. |
| 2001 Keystone Cougar 278 fith wheel | Roger | Like Keystone. I have a Cougar 278 2001 and I have about 35,000 miles without problems. The secret: I make an annual automotive maintenance. It's the same thing for all fifth wheels. Bye |
| 2006 Keystone Zeppelin / 2008 Jayco Jay Feather 29D | edcaroleg | The slide on the Keystone Passport does not open very far and uses cables. We had that setup on a 2006 Zeppelin (The passport replaced the Zeppelin. The cable system was nothing but trouble.) We sold the Zep and bought a 2008 Jayco Jay Feather 29D with a similar but superior floorplan |
| Re: Keystone Outback Loft travel trailer | rhandy | This is a great concept. I already use my roof area for event viewing, adding steps (instead of my ladder) and some shade is great. Airstream had a similar idea with the skydeck model. Personally I would like to have drop down steps (like attic steps) instead of permanent. The additional space could be used for something else,like a washer/dryer. |
| Keystone decals? | Billy K | I need to replace my decals on my 2002 Montana made by Keystone. My question - do you know of any one who makes the replacement decals for RV fifth wheel trailers? I will thank you now for any help that you can give me. |
| 2005 Keystone Outback Sydney | Albert Clark | Serious rubber roof problems. It tows nice and looks nice. However, I had to have a $9000 roof replacement in less than two years. The new roof is only 1 year old and the same problem is occuring again. Keystone and the rubber roof material manufacturer refused any liability even though the roof supposedly had a 10 year warranty. Near the outer seam, no on the seam, the roof material disintegrated. One month it looked fine, the next month, there was about 35 feet by 1 inch of rubber roof missing or peeled back. Now after just one year in a new RV storage facility the same thing is happening again. I cannot afford $9000 a year in maintenance. The air conditioner circuit board failed in 18 months. The interior is beautiful and impressive. Just the right size for two people. Keystone refused their warranty and the dealer did nothing to help except extract money to do a shoddy job. I took it to Lazy Days, just outside of Tampa, Florida. |
| Re:2008 Keystone Passport | Gypsy | I really like the looks of this travel trailer. My wife and I are 24/7 travelers. I hope where the comfy chairs are, are big enough to put her sewing equipment at. |
| 2002 Keystone Laredo | Herb and Kath Rosenthal | A really nice layout with lots of storage, cupboards etc. The furniture is nice and I think its great value for money. The quality is OK, some problems with drawers and loose screws but OK. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 4/5. |
| 2008 Keystone Freedom Light | Roger | Bought a 2008 Keystone freedom Light 28 foot and love it. Like Keystone they make good trailers |
| 2005 Keystone Hornet | Robyn | We have a 2005 Keystone Hornet and have had no problems with it. Towed it to Florida 2 times, and made shorter trips other places. Love the layout. The sofa & kitchen table are in the slide. The slide is only in front of the TV -- which makes packing and unpacking easy -- cause the slide can be in to pack it! We love it, and wouldn't trade it -- we'd just love to be able to use it more often and work less! Love Keystone. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5. |
| 2007 Keystone Montana 3475 | Terry and Gloria | We love our 2007 Montana and have had no problems at all with it. We like the way it was layed out and tons of room and storage. We bought our Montana from Leach's Camper Sales in Councis Bluffs, Iowa. Great dealership. I really have not had any warranty issues. Nice trailer! Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5.

| 2006 Keystone Cougar fifth wheel | Tim | No problems so far! Great floor plan with lots of room. Interior quality is good...a few minor issues but nothing a little adjusting would'nt cure. I feel most folks expect a little more than they should with an RV interior...it's not a stick built house! Dealer has been great!!! McDonough RV Center Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5.

| 2004 Keystone Montana 2955RL | Daryl R | Tirewear on inside, due to ALKO axels. Had the curbside spring come loose, due to the rear bolt coming out. So far it has been a great unit. We love the lay-out and it tows like a dream. We love everything about this floorplan. We did remove the sliding doors between the BR and Bath area. It greatly increased the space between the wall and bed. We feel they could put better carpet in as an option. Foley's Eazytime Rv, Burlington, Wa. Haven't been back!! Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5.

| Re:2008 Keystone Passport | Manjo47 | This looks good, I want to simplify our RV I think they've got too complicated. I have a 37' 2005 Keystone Montana with 4 slides that I purchased from Mike Thompson RV Superstore. We had problems but Mike Thompson and Keystone stood behind the warranty. Good company and a good product and we're going to look at this. Thanks for the article. |
| 2007 Keystone VR-1 305FKS | Tom O | First thing you notice is the front is shaped like a V, no tongue. I swear it is worth 1 mpg and 1,000 lbs. of tow effort even in the PA mountains our 1st trip. Very easy to pull, especially around semi's, at first I overcorrected alot, this thing just feels a nudge at 65mph, pulling with a 1/2 Ton new 07 Chevy crew cab 6.0. The slide Ground was not hooked up even though it worked when we left, Dealer helped me find the problem on the phone several calls 4th of July! We love the contemporary white interior and the kitchen made from the front V, it's out of the way and efficient with alot of counter and a lunch counter. Would like a better entertainment system, but none would satisfy me anyway and I'd redo it. Large walk thru bath and comfortable furniture. I wanted to go more upscale but we are happy for now with a solid unit that is easy to pull. A+S sales in Auburn Hills MI are great. Many minor touchup things like I read here is typical today, but no complaints from them on my list. After all I fixed the slide! Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5 |
| 2006 Keystone Cougar | Norma | We have a 2006 Keystone Cougar 5th wheel which we bought new. We traded in 5th wheel Hitchhiker by NuWa. We never had any problems with the Hitchhiker. We traded it in order to downsize. We bought a 25 ft. Cougar. Higher end 5th wheel mfgrs no longer make a 26 foot 5th wheel, but have changed to building 30 ft. and above. We ordered a KVH satellite dish from the dealer which he intalled. Took 3 trips back to the dealer before they provided us with a working dish. Seems their RV "specialist" doesn't know beans about wiring a dish. We also had them install a black holding tank washer so the black tank gauge would show a true reading. The dealer installed it. Unfortunately the factory had labeled the grey water holding tank black and vice versa. So we wound up with washers on both tanks. What a hoot!!! |
| 2006 Keystone Outback-Sydney Edition 5th Wheel | richard | My girlfriend has an Outback 2006 model fifth wheel. She loves it - dealer had to replace drain valve because they couldn't open it. That's all. Keystone is good. |
| 2005 Keystone Montana | Marion K | I have a 37' 2005 Keystone Montana with 4 slides that I purchased from Mike Thompson RV Superstore. We bought this after looking at many 5ers we like the inside very much, the high class kitchen with center island is good. We had a major problem with one of the slides but Keystone stood behind the warranty. |
| 2004 Keystone Everest | Connie Rushman | We've pulled this for more than 30,000 miles including through the rockies and we've not had any problems. We loved the Everest floorplan when we bought it but some of the new units by other manufacturers are really spectacular. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 4/5. Would probably will not go for Keystone again. No bad things but probably we'll go for Carriage. We've looked at a few new ones and they really seem to best fit what we want. |
| 2005 Keystone Outback-Sydney Edition 5th Wheel | Ca_Hoggwsh | I agree with Tom and Emma I have the same issues, but I still love the quality and white interior over the wood grain look, makes it feel much cozier. |
| RE: 2001 Keystone Cougar 278 | Scalawag Joe SASS # 39610 | My 2001 Cougar broke 1 spring, blew 3 tires, bent 2 axles and burned out a wheel bearing. I replaced all components of the suspension with 10,500 GVW components. Factory components are rated at 7,000 gvw ... camper ship weight is 7,000 lbs ... max gvwr is 10,000 so if you put a 6 pack of beer in the refridge you are overloaded. |
| 2002 Keystone Springdale 245 RLS | Ernie M | I have a 2002 Springdale 245 RLS. No real problems. Slide stuck in closed position once. Great compromise between manageable size and comfort. Basically, will go anywhere. Can pull with 1/4 ton. Rear living model offers feeling of spaciousness. Bathroom is a little small. Good dealer experience. No warranty problems. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5. |
| 2006 Keystone Cougar | Melissa L | Bought new, fist time it rained, rain poured in on bed, around the TV antenna. They had not caulked good and it left a pond around base of antenna. Second weeekend it rained, water poured in around one of the reflectors, where they had attempted to install reflector and had gotten screw in wrong place, they made new hole and never caulked up the extra hole so when the water hit the reflector it poured right in the wall, down the wall and right onto my pillow. The best thing about it was that it was larger, more spacious than the 79 model Airstream, and since we are full timers we needed a little more space. Well it's pretty but kinda dull because they build them all alike so the colors are very basic. When we picked up trailer, they had us check it for any thing that we thought needed fixing or replacing. I found several minor things that, if they would have just mailed us we could have fixed and been much happier than we actually wound up being, due to having to lose a whole days pay just to take it back for what they then called warranty work. When we got there to have the few thing fixed it took the whole day. The things consisted of replacing a cabinet door that the joint was not good on (1). When the boy got done with that I looked at it and told him I was sorry, he had drilled holes in door and put hardware on but he had installed it upside down so it did not match the pattern on the rest of cabinets. Then one of the galley doors he was to replace came in more warped than the one he was to replace. But he had replaed it anyway, so we had to have him take it off and we fixed that ourselves when we got home. On the cabinet door he had messed up he said they would have to order another door and we would have to come back bring trailer and let them install. Now my husband is very passive and never has had a temper, but that day he developed one and was very unhappy. They at first said they would not send us a door, and let us replace it that they had to have the bad door left with them. My husband insisted they GO TO THE LOT and PULL DOOR OFF another trailer which the manager/owner finally did and was glad to do so. The real problem was the service guy he was just a very unhappy soul an was glad to make the rest of us unhappy that day also. The other minor thing we had replaced was the screen in the door. It had a hole in it, and a mini blind was crimped. an the cutting board has a large scratch on it and other minor problems. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 4/5.

| Re: Keystone Bullet ultralite travel trailer | kenny 2145 | I've had 2 Keystone travel trailers. Both of them have had the usual range of problems but the dealers and Keystone all gave me good service. I would definitely buy another Keystone. I like the ultralite concept and like the idea of not needing a huge truck to pull a reasonably sized trailer. |
| 2005 Keystone Outback-Sydney Edition 5th Wheel | Tom and Emma U | Purchased this mid-profile 30' unit for those long 3-5 day weekends and the 1-2 week vacation. Beautiful interior decor with plenty of interior/exterior storage. I am 5'11" and had no problems standing upright in the bedroom. This is the 28FRS(?) floorplan with the two chairs in the back and kitchen over the axles. Nice single slide. Quality was there as was Dealer support to fix those few items we found wanting. Although this floor plan is comfortable I do not enjoy it because the couch and chairs are to far from the TV. Check out the other Outback floor plans for something a bit better. When the heater comes on you can't hear the TV. No floor duct in the toilet area so be prepared for that cold seat. Rear gray water valve is between and above the tires in the wheel well which makes it hard to get to when the slide is out. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 4/5.

| 2005 Keystone Montana 3400RL | T.D. Skates | We have a 2005 3400RL that we live in and we love it. We have the fake fireplace and we love that. Temps on the a/c and heating I seem to have down pretty good. The rv we live in seems to hold the heat better than the cold. The a/c runs all the time, but in the winter the heater hardly comes on and the fireplace keeps us cozy. |
| 2004 Hornet by Keystone | Robyn | The water filter to the kitchen sink is in the most inconvenient spot! In order for my husband to get that out every year (and put it back in) he has to take out all the drawers...
How about if the manufacturers actually hire engineers and designers who USE RVs, dump RVs, etc.
Rating: 4/5. Buy again?: Yes. |
