Keystone Cougar High Country reviews

We've owned this rv for 2 years. Very easy to pull and easy in/ out of gas stations. It's the perfect size for 2 adults but will sleep up to 6 people. We've never had an issue with it but saw a Keystone Cougar 24rds model that had a u shaped dinette. The rv is about 2ft longer and will accommodate our adult daughter sleeping in the dinette. We purchased this one and now need to find a new home for our other one. Nice rv! Show less

Loved this camper for what we used it for. We lived in it while we built our home in Ringgold, Georgia and it was the perfect floorplan for our family of four. The extra room in the middle of the floorplan was great. The king size bed in the bedroom was definitely helpful with plenty of storage and a washer and dryer hook up. Show less

We've owned this RV for 3 years and bought it from the original owners that were full-time campers, so it's gotten good use and it's held up really well (with good maintenance). We have loved the comfort, the systems work well and repairs have been minor and mostly preventive, and in line with expectations. The layout is ideal for a couple or small family to live in close quarters without crowding: separate bathroom sinks and cabinets and a full standup shower; twin theater seats and a full sleeper sofa; the living area is in the rear and the bedroom is in the front, with a spacious king bed and full closet. There are 3 slide-outs to expand the space inside. Ours has awnings over the slides that keep the tops clean and protected. The kitchen has a full pantry with motion light and an island sink for valuable counter space. It has a large oven and cooktop with full-size microwave and a full-size residential refrigerator that's way better than the "RV refrigerators." There's a lot of storage room in the main pass-through bay underneath, and more in the front. A 2" hitch is on the rear for bikes or cargo. The High Country model has enclosed water and waste tanks with heaters and a robust gas furnace. There is a heat pump AC in the bedroom that cools and warms, and a conventional AC unit in the living room. The water heater can operate on gas or electric power. An electric fireplace in the living room adds warmth and mood on chilly nights. The trailer tows great with my diesel RAM. The pinbox does the job to keep the ride smooth, and the trailer brakes are reliable. I bought the unit out of warranty, but Keystone has been good about remote support when I've called with a question. Show less

We love our RV but quality issues have cost us. Month #1 LEAK caused belly of RV to fill with water Recliner had to be replaced due to poor construction Icemaker broken, now water filter broken Weatherstripping coming off slides Awning motor not working Awning cap fell off twice LeD light strip fell off island Kitchen exhaust fan lid cracked Holes in bedroom carpet area Moulding in living area on slides came off Windows difficult to open Ladder to top bent Brakes on RV messed up Leveling battery disconnect switch went out Roof needs caulking These are problems since Day 1 for the last 15 months. Service center has been great but too many trips to get repairs... Show less

We bought the 5th wheel new in July. When we went through our walk through the slide wouldn't open, so we had to go back for a different walk through a few weeks later. Luckily for us, it was raining that day, because the bathroom skylight was leaking heavily, so we postponed again. When we got back to the dealer again for the walk through we water heater wasn't working, so again we postponed the walk through. Come to find out Keystone never wired the water heater... so we finally go to our walk through months later and the shore power didn't work. The socket wasn't wired properly.. so once again we left it at the dealer... so now we were pushing our Christmas in Arizona back because we were looking at mid-December for the walk through. All this time I was calling Keystone trying to get them off their hands and pay for the repairs. They did eventually, but it was months waiting.. Now, after our 4th camping trip the auto leveling system isn't working... Of course, it is out of warranty, because the 1 year warranty ended 4 months after we took possession of the camper. We are looking to upgrade now, but I will never buy another Thor (parent company) Product again, and won't even look at a Keystone. Show less

This is our second Keystone RV product. First one was Raptor 2004. Sold it after 7 years. I've been searching for a RV that checks all my boxes, weight, length, space, quality and price. We just bought Cougar and took it for a test camp close to home at Lake Tobosofkee in Macon Ga. Love my new camper. It's all that and more. I don't have anything negative to say about it yet. My favorite parts are the unique bathroom for a camper this size. Feels like a space you'd find in a Class A. Very roomy kitchen and living space, lots of storage. Show less

We own a 2017 Cougar rls. We search for this particular floorplan. It has large windows, 2 recliners, a large walk through bathroom and king bed. It light weight and can be towed with a half ton truck. We towed long distances and often took grandkids with us. Great floor plan! Show less

For over a year, we have planned to purchase this model, and finally made the decision to purchase one from a private owner in TN. It was a older couple, that didn't do much to keep it in good condition, so I am playing catch up with things like updates to the In-Command equipment. We still love t he floor layout, one of the reasons we wanted this model was the layout of the 2 lounge fold out chairs, that line right in front of a 50" TV, very similar to our layout at home. All the fancy tech I don't need, but it is sure is nice to the Auto Level is very useful. We have yet to figure out the Solar Charging system but will eventually. Overall, still an awesome setup for a couple or small family for camping. We Love it! Show less

I I purchased an RV and was immediately captivated by this floor plan. If you have children or a large family, this RV provides ample space for enjoyable family trips. It tows smoothly without any issues, which is a testament to its quality. Since this is my first fifth wheel, I don’t have much to compare it to, but it surpasses any bumper pull I’ve owned.

The floor plan and layout is very useful and the outside kitchenette has been very flexible and frequently used. Towing this 5th wheel RV is very easy compared to pull behind units. The bunkhouse has proven to be extremely comfortable and versatile. Show less
