Friends of ours own a fairly new Keystone TT and last year I spent a full day repairing the dinette seating that was falling apart and fixing up cabinet latches and roller slides all as a result of bad factory workmanship. First photo is a catch on a closet door - the two parts were over an inch apart! 2nd pic shows a damage roller part due to factory misalignment. 3rd pic is how the dealer attempted to fix one of the roller catches by just jamming in another screw. Almost all roller catches were improperly installed. I had to remove the slides for a couple of drawers and re-align them. Worst cabinetry work I've seen in a TT.
Went to a local RV show and a Keystone TT on display had similar cabinet issues to the above. Two upper cabinet doors wouldn't even close. Dealer made no attempt to correct the issues for the show.
Met a couple at a CG who had a Keystone TT they bought new. The roof had a bad leak. Three trips to the dealer did not fix it. Then it got sent to the factory and they only made it worse. The couple was from near where we live and the dealer was likely the same one as our friends.
Saw a Keystone TT on display at a CW. Same issue with the axles and tires - loaded up to pretty much the weight sitting on the axles. Tires could even be overloaded on one side due to wt. of the slide. It also had spread axles as well which would increase tire wear due to different turning radii in turns. Add cheap tires to the mix and it's asking for a tire blowout.
From what I've seen and heard, I'd never buy a Keystone TT. Everything is built to the minimum of minimum possible and then they add poor workmanship on top of that. It would appear tho. that there is a difference in build quality between the eastern and western plants in the US. Problem is, just about all brands can have quality/design issues and few are worth recommending. Have had enough serious things to deal with on our current TT.
