Hello. The review above had us worried about the unit. I wrote down the reported complaints item by item and looked for them in the 2020 unit we found at Camping World. This unit showed none of the reported problems - drawers at the door were properly mounted and worked smoothly, holes in baffles under sink were cleanly cut, cables were cleanly bundled, all the brake cables were attached and working, and so on. My conclusions are these (1) there are QC problems at the Dutchman factory (2) The worst of the problems occurred during the Covid year (2020-2021), and (3) there is nothing there that a careful inspection wouldn't reveal. We found a few minor issues (peeling wallpaper, break in exterior trim) and the dealer fixed them all before we picked up the unit. I agree that this travel trailer, and all the others we have looked at that are in our price range are deliberately built a bit flimsy to keep weight and price down. That being said, if you go into the deal with your eyes open and are willing to keep track of potential problems (furniture separating from wall, doors binding, weather-stripping comming loose) you can have a most rewarding experience. If you need a better build unit, or are not at least a bit handy, be prepared to pay twice as much. There is nothing wrong with the design of this unit - just be careful to do your own QC and keep track of problems before they creep up on you. (oh yes - the reviewer complained about inconsistencies in the specifications - it appears that the spec sheet he was looking at was prepared by an RV web site, not issued by the manufacturer, and was indeed inconsistent. Don't trust anything that doesn't come directly from the manufacturer. They are quite happy to answer questions)

We bought this 2024 Dutchmen Astoria 260rk because of the kitchen - it's a 'couples' trailer which suited us for our first Fifth Wheel. The Dutchmen (and I guess really, Keystone) salesperson guaranteed the craftmanship and warranty. One of the key selling points was the rear camera as, given this is our first RV, we were nervous about taking it through the US. The walkthrough at Arrkann was incredibly fast and I wish I had thought to film it. At any rate, our first trip out was over a long weekend and spending time in the RV, I am now shocked at the poor craftmanship - it really felt like the RV was 'slapped' together. Getting warranty work done at Arrkann has been a huge pain as well - I really believe no one there talks to anyone else in the shop. The rear camera worked for about 20 min after we left Red Deer - and hasn't worked since. Dutchmen (Keystone) is refusing to change it out - and the service person at Arrkann said that Dutchmen (Keystone) knew the camera was faulty at the build stage (and apparently, have now removed the camera completely) - yet they let the 2024 RVs with the rear camera be sold at the RV show. It's been a huge learning for us - will never do business with Keystone or Dutchmen again - unfortunately, just driving the RV off the lot cost us $20,000 in resale value. Do the best, most detailed due diligence when shopping for an RV - and don't just check out the manufacturer - check out the RV dealer as well because working with them can be just as frustrating as dealing with all the defects in the RV.

3 separate Bedrooms! Great for a family with children, or for the grandkids to visit or travel with you. Queen Bed. Washer Dryer Connection in one of the two Master Closets. Primary Bath has a full shower, vanity, sink, toilet. 2nd and 3rd Bedrooms have their own doors, and a separate bathroom with toilet, sink and vanity. Plenty of storage and living space. Our daughter and her family (husband and 2 children) lived in this 3 Bedroom 5th wheel for over a year while their home was being built.

Our family enjoyed rough camping for a while...But these hybrid tent end campers are just the best of both worlds. No regrets for buying a hybrid, roomy, light weight towing, easy on my truck and wallet when it comes to gas prices.

At first I was sold on the trailer. It seemed nice, cleanly designed, and nicely appointed. Unfortunately I was sold on the swing away fireplace and flat-screen television console and didn't even put any thought into what anyone would really need. Like storage. None of the storage offered holds anything that you need to enjoy the great outdoors. There are two outside compartments, one is filled with a useless mini fridge and the other is just big enough to hold the necessities needed to actually use the camper. And maybe an extension chord or two. The closets front and back hold enough clothing essentials for a 3 or 4 day trip. The craftsmanship absolutely makes this trailer a rip-off. 0ver 50k and my 65lb year old niece broke the lower back bunk bed, the table is bowed and thin and itlowered into the banquette supposedly is supposed to double as a bed comfortable for two adults. I wouldn't put a 40lb child on it... the table would break. The master is supposed to have a queen bed, but it really has a thin pad and a sharp edged piece of chip board that you have to squeeze around to get into. The walk through bath is dark and useless. The toilet is right inside, practically blocking the way to the master.. and the glass shower door, even when it's locked open for travel will slam shut and shatter..which one panel of mine did. And lastly the kitchen. It's probably the most disappointing part of the trailer... there just isn't one. There is 4.5 total square feet of usable counter and its the orner where it's totally useless. Molding has popped off the corners in the master, the bath, the living room and both sides of the slider the molding is popping off. One more thing.. the "satelite" that is supposed to give you free basic/local channels gives you absolutely nothing. The TV doesn't even recognize it. Unless you buy a subscription... it does nothing. And the magnificent secret pantry... cheap shelves bow downward, the front trim has broken off one shelf and the fireplace... all it does is blow the breaker. This brand is a disappointment

We have owned this RV for one year. It has been in the shop for 20, yes 20 total weeks and is soon to go into the shop for additional warranty repairs. The defects include drawer slides falling off, LED lights on the front cap and awnings replaced, front awning replaced, side wall panel separating from trim, ice maker water line kinked and didn't allow water flow (replaced), bath sink faucet replaced, black water flush line was leaking under bathroom deck, water heater electrical was not connected at factory, entry door installed incorrectly (replaced). Leveling system is now not functioning and one slide cable has snapped. Blue Compass has done all the warranty repairs but we've had to return more than once for the same issues. Very poor quality of workmanship. I would not recommend buying from this manufacturer.

I live full time in my trailer. Most of it has been a good experience. I did have a few issues after my purchase. The shower was leaking but I was able to fix it easily. The wood sticker on the bathroom door pealed but I replaced it with something better. My biggest issue was the counter tops change color with very little heat. Toes perfect and living style is great. With they spent a little more money on quality supplies but I’d say that with every travel trailer. Did have to re-glue some trim and adjust the door.
