Keystone Alpine

I'm looking at a Alpine 3555rl. Does anyone have one or can tell me anything about this 5er. We are looking at this one and a Montana.
  • Alpine is what they changed the Everest name to in 2012. The name Everest never caught on. It is top of the line Keystone, second to the Big Sky. We love our Everest. Solid cabinetry, solid countertops, and great floor plan.

    Head on over to the Keystone forum and search there. Despite all the Keystone bashings, we have had three of them and little to no problems.

    The Montana's are very popular, and I'm sure you will have a lot of responders direct you to the Montana.

    Check out the specs, Alpine vs Montana, and you will see the difference in build.

    Good luck with your decision.
  • I am on my 4th Montana and just picked up my 4th one this past Saturday. I traded a 2013 Landmark in on this last 2015 and happy to be back in a Montana. The 2015 we got the Legacy Package which comes with Painted front and rear caps we also got the G Rated Goodyears as a major option for me.
    I would definitely take the Montana over the Alpine.
  • I thought Alpine was Keystone's top of the line. I know they discontinued Everest, that was the very first trailer my wife and I looked at. Just couldn't make a "deal" on it, ended up with a Montana Mountaineer.

    I thought it was Alpine then Big Sky than Montana.

    The second trailer we owned was a Montana, great trailer, only reason we let it go was I wanted (REAL bad) the 6 point level system and a few other goodies the Montana didn't have. I'm glad to hear they're offering the "G" rated tire upgrade. We didn't have that option when we bought ours, had two of the Marathon "E"s fail us. Solid trailer otherwise.

    I prefer the Montana over the Alpine. IMO its a Montana with just more bling, and cost.
  • The local dealer that sales the Alpine told me that the Big Sky was top of the line then the Montana then 3rd was the Alpine. This was an Alpine dealer telling me this as well as the Keystone Rep at a local rv show.
