Keystone Design Issues
OK, I need to vent a few frustrations with Keystone. We just purchased a new Fuzion and noticed (after we purchased) some design flaws that we think are ridiculous. My thought is that if I vent on her...

1) They don't make LP fridges that small, 12v won't push a fridge, and i'm pretty sure most run with the generator or inverter (i know mine in my older forest river did)
Why not propane like the main fridge? It would only need 12V power for the igniter to light the LP at startup.
Having said that though, our trailer came with a silly wine fridge that only runs on shore power or generator. We took the wine rack out and fill it with beer.
Probably because engineering a propane refrigerator takes outside venting. With the outside kitchen all closed up, there's no vent. Now granted, engineering could figure out a safe way to make that happen. But that would also require some pretty slick changes, paying engineers to design it, and changing out existing simplified construction techniques. It's just simply too much work and expense for the manufacturer to make it happen.
That doesn't sound right to me. The fridge is already on an outside wall. The engineering isn't any different on the curb side than the fridge on the street side.
My guess is that they just didn't think of it. Most builders don't really have their fingers on the pulse of toy hauler users and their tendencies to dry camp.
