  • I have had 3 Keystone trailers since 2007. A 2007 Springdale, a 2011 Bullet, and now a 2014 Bullet Premier. The slide allowed a leak on the Springdale, but nothing was obvious. I don't think it had anything to do with the cables. No problems with the other 2. We didn't intend to trade so quickly, but we went from being empty nesters to guardians of 3 grandkids, back to empty nesters, and now guardians again.
  • We had an Open Range for 3 years never any problem, I don't think Open Range ever used anything else on their slide outs.
  • I have had to adjust mine on the 2009 281RL because they had loosened up. After that no problems. They are easy to check and adjust with instructions online.
  • have heard a lot of negative things said about them. kept us from buying a new RES321.
