Keystone Outback reviews

Keystone has horrible customer service and quality is very low. I bought the RV this year and picked it up in August of 2025. The first things I noticed were loose hinges on several cabinets, microwave was not screwed in properly, paneling in the bathroom was not secured properly. I addressed this with the dealer and they fixed it. On the fourth time I used the living room slide out a piece inside of the wall came loose and ripped through the slide out seals and one of the window seals cam out. I called the dealer and they said that I had to take it back to them unless I could find a mobile RV repair company. I found 2 but both said Keystone would not cover the initial service charge because it was a convenience (even though it was an inconvenience for me). I took it to the dealer who's customer service was horrible. They said that it would take keystone up to 72 hrs. to approve the warranty work after it was looked at by the dealer (which was done the next day). After getting the work approved by Keystone I explained to the dealer that it had and was going to cost me money because now I needed the RV the next week and without it I would have to get a hotel. He gave me a number to call the manufacturer and they would possibly reimburse me for my hotel and inconvenience. I called Keystone and spoke with a rep which informed me that hotel costs are not covered and did not even apologize for the issues I was having or my inconvenience. My opinion is that RV's in general are cheaply built but you should not have issues right after you buy it and if you do then they should bend over backwards to make it right and the customer happy.

One star is two many. We bought our Keystone Cougar 2022 29BHSWE, brand new from Vellner Leisure in Red Deer. After a few years of owning it these are the problems. DO NOT BUY KEYSTONE OR FROM Vellner. - Water pump failed, - entire floor lifted, - all seals around all windows failed and leaked, - roof failed and leaked, - Slide stopped working and leaks, - microwave stopped working - doors for pantry and bedroom came off the hinges, - electrical panel came detached from wall and almost caused a fire.

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

This has been a wonderful trailer for my family. The bunkhouse is spacious and it has all the amenities we need while traveling. Towing is a breeze and there’s plenty of storage. These trailers are made well and withstand multiple rambunctious kids. The dining area has extra space under the seats and the bathroom is spacious. Show less

after reading all the reviews, I am so sorry we did not further research this travel trailer before we purchased it. We are experiencing many of the same issues and this RV is only a year and a half old. we also were denied the opportunity to turn on the electricity and water prior to taking the unit off the lot. Also dealership would not clean the unit as they said they did not have staffing available due to Covid. This has been a nightmare every trip we go on there is a multitude of problems, I have a big cup filled with the screws and miscellaneous items that have fallen off the rv. As of now we are in Maine with a slide out that will not retract or go out. Why hasn’t anybody looked into a class action lawsuit against Keystone we would certainly be willing to participate , good luck to everybody. Hope you have a better experience than we have. Had. We are looking to get rid of the RV and know that we are going to take a massive financial hit. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Show less

MY NEPHEW IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS THE REST OF YOU. HE BOUGHT HIS KEYSTONE TO LIVE IN AND HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS BRAND NEW RV SINCE HE GOT IT. ITS A LEMON.....DAY 1, BLOWOUT ON TIRE COMING FROM THE LOT, HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES ON IT TO PREVENT HAVING MULTIPLE BLOWOUTS. NO WARRANTY ON CHEAP TIRES, HAVE TO GET WITH MANUFACTURER. BOLTS IN FLLORING, GREY WATER SEWAGE LEAKING, TRIM FALLING RANDOMLY, GFCI FRIED 3 TIMES, FIREPLACE SHORTING OUT, FLOOR DROPPING OUT OF SLIDEOUT, HOT WATER HEATER NOT WORKING, NO POWER TO OUTLETS, SO MUCH MORE. KEYSTONE USE TO BE JAYCO, NOT SURE IF YOU ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH JAYCO BUT THEY WERE AROUND BACK IN THE 80S AND HAD THE SAME LOW QUALITY RVS AND POPUPS. GOOGLE MASSIVE LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM IN CALIFORNIA THAT JAYCO LOST, THIS IS WHY THEY CHANGED THE NAME BUT STILL SELL THE SAME CRAPPY PRODUCTS. SEEMS NOW THAT THEY NEED TO BE FACING ANOTHER MASSIVE LAWSUIT IN 2024 UNDER THE NAME KEYSTONE. I HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT MY NEPHEW FILE UNDER LEMON LAWS AND HIRE N ATTORNEY BECAUSE THE BACK AND FORTH CONTINUES AND THIS IS TOO MUCH MONEY TO JUST BE AT A LOSS. I RECOMMEND YOU ALL DO THE AME. THIS IS A SHAME THAT THEY ARE EVEN ALLOWED TO CONTINUE MANUFACTURING RVS AT THE RISK OF COSTING SOMEONE THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF FAULTY WIRING FROM THE MAUFACTURER. THESE THINGS BURN LIKE TISSUE PAPER. I WOULD NEVER BUY JAYCO BACK THEN AND SURE AS HELL WOULDNT BUY KEYSTONE. I HAVE HAD RVS OVER THE LAST 25 OR 30 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THESE ISSUE. I RECOMMEND YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THE BACKGROUND OF THESE COMPANIES BEFORE PURCHASING. ALL THIS IS HAPPENING WITH HIS RV AND HE LIVES IN IT IN A CAMPGROUND, NOT EVEN PULLING ACROSS THE STATES.

My RV was droped off during covid. Driver refused a walk through because it wasnt his job. Both roof mount air conditioners did not work. It took over a month of fighting with Gander RV in Idaho to have them replaced. I was retiring and wanted to travel. Propane heater has been in twice because it wont come on. Electric Fireplace started amoking and I shut it down... Am bing told by Camping world that the plug that powers it melted. Radio and TV come on by themselves intermittently and will turn on putter speakers by itself. Warranty says they wont replace it unless their representative witnesses it! SERIOUSLY They tried to say it was a power surge... I showed them the surge protector they sold me that is in perfect working order. Then warranty told the Service people they then believed it was possibly struck by lightning. Service center told them there were no evidence of that and the problem is only centralized by entertainment center. They love to take your money but you have to fight tooth n nail to make them replace things in a unit you bought brandnew for 50 grand. Plus bought their extended warranty... I had to cancel retirement travel due to all the ongoing issues. Pretty sad! Now they will pay for replacing the electrical outlet and fireplace but told me I have to pay for all shipping costs of parts? 36 years of breaking my back to retire and this is the business I have been dealt!

This is a top-of-the-line trailer! You can live in this one, plenty of room, 3 slides, a True king bed, and lots of storage. The kitchen is spacious and the inland is great to work off of. Big screen tv, Large living area. solar keeps batteries at peak volts (13.6) even in storage. Show less

Hated to do this but I'm so over Keystone RV. They are the worst and thanks to there being NO lemon laws I have ZERO legal recourse. They are refusing to refund my money at all. I hope all my friends post this everywhere they feel comfortable. Here is a SMALL sampling (I have 27 pages of repair requests) of what has happened with my NEW camper since I picked it up on 4/12: 3/30/2023 bought the camper 4/12/2023 picked up from dealer 4/16/2023 first incident with the vent covers and roof inspection, side of camper flapping going down the road and broken leg on couch in cargo area 4/19/2023 wire creating spark when moving the slide, front door not latching, front cap on shower not attached bowing out 1/2", screws missing on the panel, drawers not latching 4/28/2023 took in for water heater throwing an error the roof inspection showed sealant with voids. 06/02/2023 window blew out of camper while driving to appointment, awning has cuts, awning lights not fully working, Entry door latch broke locking me in the camper, leak from under shower running into the bedroom damaging bathroom sink, water leaking around vent not at the cover damaging the ceiling on both sides of it they said they found no leak 6/16/2023 more water leaking under the camper and the fireplace, water heater installed incorrectly causing it to leak, speaker fell out of ceiling, black tank not draining fully, kennel door not closing was put in crooked, 7/6/2023 ceiling still getting wet when it rains. Water heater had an E3 error, Kitchen sink not draining properly causing water to run out from under it into the living area, peeling around the cabinet in the bedroom 7/10/2023 got home from the dealer (they kept it over the weekend) and noticed that the wheel well was coming off. 7/31/2023 took back for more issues regarding the walls bubbling and repair of awning and window. When they figured out the black tank flush inlet found it was going straight into the fresh water tank contaminating the fresh water tank more every time I thought I was flushing the black water.
