Keystone MONTANA HIGH COUNTRY 351BH 351BH reviews

We bought this 5th wheel brand new in 2023 and travelled in it full time. We absolutely loved the layout and the features, but ultimately it only lasted 18 months and about 15k miles. The RV was a problem from day 1. We towed it home and within a couple of days realized they had damaged a wire and pinched it against the metal wall studs, which was a SERIOUS fire hazard. Luckily it was caught early. The next few months were riddled with multiple problems from holes drilled in sewer vent pipes, improperly installed gaskets and failed leveling system. Keystone paid for mobile techs each time, but not without pushback. At the 3 month mark we found one of the cross members had already broken and had to have a mobile welder come and repair our 3 MONTH old frame. Over the next 15 months we had more and more problems from shoddy workmanship. The bedroom slide (Schwintek) failed multiple times, even after being fully replaced. We finally determined it was because the wall studs were all broken. We also started having more frame issues as we reached the 16 month mark, so the point that 4 more cross members had failed (the repaired one was the only one still holding up). It took almost 3 months of fighting with Keystone to come to a resolution on the issue. Show less

We bought a Montana because they were known for their quality and reliability. Unfortunately in 2021 that all changed, and this rv has been nothing but problems. In the very first week of ownership I found the power wire wrapped around an aluminum stud with the insulation stripped bare, an extreme fire and shock hazard. That was just the tip of the iceberg. 2 months later the leveling system started failing more frequently and had to be replaced. Then I found a broken cross member that had to be welded back together. Another mom the later I found the only screws holding the medicine cabinet up were the ones screwed into the black tank vent pipe. The master br slide has been a problem for months. Even after complete replacement, it only lasted 3 weeks before having problems again. Due to his the bedroom floor has been damaged multiple times. The main slide roof began sagging so much water would run into the living room and had to be jacked up and restructured. After about 8 months the door became difficult to close, and wouldn't stay closed while driving, even with the dead bolt locked and grab handle closed. This entire thing is just a total pile of junk, and most likely won't last the full length of its 3 year structural warranty. Show less
