RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED KEYSTONE 339 FWSLS 2007

Hey guys, I recently bought a used 2007 339 FWSLS triple slide Keystone Copper Canyon, and I am not able to find a lot of info on it. Even on the Keystone web site. I am hoping that you guys could chime in and fill in the gaps.

Some of the things I would like to know are: what does the FWSLS stand For. I believe part of it is for fifth wheel and probably something on slides. Also, how many gallons does each of the holding tanks hold? How much the RV sold for new if anyone knows would be nice to know.

In the line of Keystone products, where does the Copper Canyon fall? I have one switch for the three slide outs and when running them in or out, they stop for a moment and I have to let off the switch before starting again. My RV repair shop said that was standard for a RV with one switch for all three. Is that true, or do I have a problem?

I have researched the forum here and find a lot of people are switching from the day/night shades to other types. What do you guys recommend?

I have an older ten plus year old Honda Gen 3000 with inverter that I have not used since I bought it used ten years ago. Fired her up and she runs good. Hooked it to the RV and only turned on the A/C and left the onboard inverter on and she ran the A/C pretty good. Leaving in about a week for a three month trip up to Idaho, Mt, WY, UT, NV, and probably Calif. I know that at altitude she may not do a great job. What are your thoughts there?

Thanks guys for any info you can give me. I know that in the next few days I will have more questions, but these will help. In the past I have been RVing for fifty years, but the last ten I have been out of it. So, trying to relearn if it possible for an old brain.

Thanks,

Tom

  • Also: Dicor Brite-Ply Roof; Shurflo water pump; Mastercraft furniture; Hickory Springs steps; Sealand 210 toilet (Dometic); Magic Chef Range/Oven. Of course, manufacturers change models/brands used but maybe this will give you something to go on. Happy camping!!!
  • My FW is similar to yours. FWSLS: Fifth Wheel; Slides; Living Suite. Copper Canyon was just below the top Montana model. Tanks: 56gal FW; 42gal BW; 2 x42 GW. HW is 10 gal Suburban gas/DSL/electric. Slides are electric/hydraulic. Hesitation is due to pump up of lines. Slide extend according to weight: BR first; then LR desk; then LR sofa/dining slide. Slides retract according to weight also. My Honda 3000i runs A/C fine. Mine unit has a converter but not an inverter. 13.5 A/C. ducted; 30,000 ducted furnace-Suburban; W/D prep; laundry chute. Reefer: Dometic gas/electric. Lippert slides; Lippert 6000# axles; Most manuals for appliances are online. Our FW has been trouble-free. This is quick but if I can help, I'll be glad to do what I can share.
