Keystone Cougar X-Lite reviews

I bought a 2023 Keystone Bullet thinking I was getting a good quality RV from a reputable brand. Unfortunately it has been nothing but a disappointment from the start. The AC failed within the first year and getting it replaced turned into a long and frustrating battle between the dealer and Keystone. No one wanted to take responsibility and it took way too much time and effort just to get something that should have been handled quickly. Then the dinette seats literally fell apart just from sitting on them. When I checked I discovered they were held together with cheap staples instead of proper screws or bolts. I ended up having to fix it myself by screwing everything back together which is not something you expect from a new RV at this price point. Now only a year and a half later all the rubber seals and junction trim around the exterior are dry cracked and falling apart. I called Keystone hoping they would at least acknowledge the problem but all I got was “Sorry it is not under warranty anymore.” That is their answer for a 1 and a half year old unit that is clearly built with poor materials and no quality control. I am now trying to sell it but it seems like a lot of people already know about Keystone’s reputation for bad quality and customer service. I wish I had read more reviews before buying. This is my first and last Keystone product. I will never recommend or buy from them again. Show less

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

Very soft floor after warranty runs out like 2-3years never purchase other keystone again get word out there will do nothing about it told dealership about it said that normally big money for cheap floor plan probably cost $4000 to$6000 fix 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.

Great travel trailer and bang for the buck! Love the floorplan and usability of the interior with the slide out king bed and bunks at opposite ends of the camper. Room for adults, kids and pets. Good storage and water capacity for off grid camping too. Convenient hookups for campgrounds, awning for shade and rear slide out can be used to shelter bikes and gear underneath when camping. Easy to maintain and tows great as well. Typical new camper tweaks and adjustments with minor repairs / manufacture warranty issues. Easy to fit into smaller campsites with the rear slide out which means more campground options. Have used this model all over the western half of the country and Canada. Show less

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
