QC not as evident as should be, seems all the indoor trim has come loose at one time or another. Slide out cables on 2 slides broke shortly after manufacturers warranty expired. Also inverter seems to overheat more rapidly than it should I would expect it to be rated to handle full load for extended times. Ours is a 2014 Outback TT

We purchased this apartment on wheels for a transition residence while we bought/built a house. As it turned out we were very blessed and found a virtually hurricane proof home in less than four months in the perfect location. We had it in a park and pulled it less than a mile and lived in it for another few weeks while we worked out a plan for upgrading the home.It is absolutely comfortable,well insulated, and leak proof. Everything works perfectly and it really is like new in every respect. It has a good storage area in the front under the bed accessible from outside.

We bought our Outback July of 2017 in Roanoke VA. First TT we've ever bought. We walked through hundreds over the years. We fell in love with this floor plan. So we bought it. We live in this TT full time. I travel all over the country for my profession so we tow it and park it for 13 weeks yearly. We've really only had one problem so far. The outdoor kitchen, which is poorly designed, leaked because the faucet some how cracked when the door was closed. I suspect when it was being shown at the dealer ship someone didn't put the kitchen spout and gas hose away properly and just slammed the door shut. So we woke up one morning with water ALL OVER our kitchen floor into our bedroom. We found the problem of course and then took the outdoor kitchen out. That area now houses our outdoor TV. The only other issue is the molding strips in the ceiling. A couple of them aren't attached to the ceiling well, so my husband got liquid nails and fixed one. The others we are not sure how to secure without holding them up for hours. Other than that, we don't have any serious issues at all with our Keystone. So much space and storage that I don't even have half of it filled. I wouldn't discourage anyone from purchasing this model.

Was told by the Keystone / outback rep AB Saleh that the front cap would never fade, its gel coated and uses same process as a boat (rv show feb 2014)...of course it did, and there is ZERO support from Keystone to do anything. Constant issues with the slides. Mine actually had 2 of the brackets rip out of the wall at different times. Front shell/cap has a stress crack with no impact point. Do yourself a favor, and buy something worth the money, and Outback, and Keystone is not.

Bought band new a 2015 Keystone Outback nothing but problems cabinets breaking, the side by side cabinets don't close unless you align in the middle & close simultaneously, shower leaked & the toilet leaked. Repaired under warranty the toilet & shower & tried our cabinets but dealer changed staff so much we were swept under a rug per say! Finally resent them proof emails that we filed a complaint while still under warranty with the attitude we'll see what we can do. Shameful Keystone doesn't even back their own products. Very disappointing!

Love my Outback 298re but Keystone Outback sucks! My Outback has the dreaded front cap fade which Keystone knows they have a problem. Will not repair do to its out of the 1 year warranty. Now I have to pay $2500 for there screw up. This fade problem has been going on for years and now they paint the front cap rather then the gel coat they have been using. I will never buy another Keystone RV again
