2008page=2 5th Wheel reviews

Bought this vehicle in 2008 new off the lot. Absolutely loved it Real wood light oak cabinets very spacious living tons of cabinet space. Cannot think of anything wrong with this particular trailer. We lived in it seasonally . Summers in Wisconsin winters in Arizona.. towing the fifth wheel was a breeze. We pulled it with a Ford 350 I would highly recommend this unit. Show less

Love the floor plan, the slides on lower level provide lots of room for taller people. Does not have a center island which just takes up extra room. The counter space is large enough to make a nice dinner. The bedroom is roomy, for tall people, me being 6'4" and my Wife being 5'11" this camper is just right for us. Show less

I moved into my unit not anticipating to live in it more than 1 year. Life circumstances happened and I decided to stay living in it. It’s been 8 years of full time RV life and I was very comfortable. This unit is a 4 season rig and a pre Thor build. Outside of normal maintenance, it’s been a great rig. DRV has been good about responding when I needed them. I went back to a sticks and brick home to be closer to my kids; and the unit is currently for sale. It’s in great shape! Show less

Goodness, where do I start? Spite the fact that the levels on this RV say that is level it doesn’t appear or feel to be leveled front door is offkilter and lets cold air i. All of the doors are falling off of their hinges, and the hinges that hold the plywood where you can lift up the mattress have also come undone, The screws can’t be tighten down because they just turn as if the holes have been stripped out, . And no matter what you do there is static and buzzing in the speakers in the stereo system A can actually see light coming through the door All of the faucets in this unit are cheap plastic and have broken. I have replaced them with high-quality residential Fossetts. Can’t change the temperature in the refrigerator. It freezes all of my food no matter where it is in the refrigerator. The refrigerator does not work on propane as it should. There are leaks in the propane line, and the oftenlp does not work. The propane alarm goes off regularly although it has been addressed, and I cannot find where the propane is leaking. Don’t try to make a cup of coffee and cook something at the same time because the breaker will flip. The toilet will not flush properly fill that sits on this little ledge and builds up and is nearly impossible to get to go down to the black tank. This is not a four seasons trailer. I don’t care what they say pecks plumbing does not a Fourseason trailer make I often can’t empty the black tank without falling it, because the valve freezes the slide has torn a hole in the linoleum flooring The screen over the shower drain has come off and cannot be reattached Had to repair several of the pecks connections because they leaked Cold air seeps in from every window And the pin box switch has stopped working, so I can no longer raise and lower the pin so that I can attach this trailer to my truck and the roof leaks in several places including right over my bed in the headboard where I can’t find any place it could possibly be leaking yet. It leaks. I really wish I done my research better before purchasing this trailer. It seems that no matter what quality keystone trailer you buy. They are all trash, Thor industries, destroys everything that it touches. I have a switch in my trailer labeled heater, which has nothing to do with my hot water heater and nothing to do with the heat controls on a completely different panel. I sent a picture of this panel and the button to customer service at Keystone trailers the woman has no idea what the button does and can’t seem to find anybody who does. There is no owners manual for my trailer. And if customer service doesn’t even know what the button does I just think there’s no hope Sore shame on you for buying quality products and turning them into trash. How about training your customer service to know what is going on inside of your products also, as one final little thing the paint jobs on these is awful. It didn’t last, and all of the decals on the outside are peeling off. Show less

This has been an excellent 5th wheel for 14 years since I bought it new. As any RVer will tell you, they all have their issues. This one has been a solid performer for us living in it full time for 3 years, raising our first babies in it until age 2, and as a live in onsite office while we built our home. The living room slide is massive and was probably more than what they should have designed. A slide topper is critical here to prevent roof warping especially if snow piles on the roof in winter. At times the slide can be problematic to open or close fully, and if unopened fully can cause drafts. Never any bedroom slide problems. Watch the windows for leaks as delamination is common, and have your windows pulled, taped and resealed. That said we lived in all climates in all seasons as far north as Maine and this thing performed well in all. We added a second A/c in the bedroom which was a fairly easy install though not pre-wired. I did have tank failure issues (maybe my fault as they could have retained water when not level when drained for winterizing) but Forest River sold me perfectly matched tanks about year 5 of my ownership for a very reasonable price. When the air mattress on the foldout failed, Forest River sent me a new one as well as a few other parts for no cost even though I was out of warranty. Customer service with Forest River was always excellent. After a few years the entertainment system cd player failed, but the rest of it has held up well. You cant beat the storage and kitchen layout in this unit. Sadly we have to upgrade as kids are getting bigger and want tagalong friends and privacy, but I will really miss this camper. It has been very good to us. Show less

This coach is beautiful and its easy to pull behind your truck. you could live in this coach with ease. the luxury of the Jayco Designer is above all the other R.V.'s we have had in the past. We will definitely miss this coach. Show less

Fantastic 5th Wheel. As comfortable as any home at 1/20th the cost. High end built to last. Nothing on the market compares. Lotsa a windows, excellent appliances, great lighting, gourmet kitchen and amenities. Loads of storage inside and out. Show less

Great floor plan. Very comfortable to live in. Nice features like a lighted docking station, built in generator, built in washer/dryer unit, surround sound and an electric fireplace. Lots of storage. We really liked it. Show less

Ordered this camper new in 2008, had several issues when it arrived. First winter started to get mice inside underneath the kitchen sink and cabinets. Plugged all of the holes we could find however the problem persist. Finally decided to tear out the island and kitchen cabinet base and found out what their issue really was. During assembly they missed drilled 4 Times with a 2 1/2 inch hole saw before they got one in the right place to line up with the holding tank. Two of the four holes they blocked off and left the other two wide open even squirrels could come up in there. What a way to do business.If someone can show me how to upload photos I will share them with you. Never again keystone will you get my business. I didn’t mention that they had to pull the one slide out completely out and replace the framework that was cracked and did not warranty it. That was $6000. Show less

We have had 4 citations and love them. Only problem is we have small round paint chips on both sides of our 5th wheel. Size of the end of a pencil eraser. Would like to send pictures, but can’t. Would like to know what is causing them. Show less
