Keystone Passports...Good-Bad or ???

Just saw another delaminated Passport Lite. Looked brand new with walls all wavy and with large bubbles. Just don't see how this is acceptable.

I have a 2010 Keystone Hideout 30BHDS. We've had it for under a year but have used it 8 times so far. Build seems nice and no issues so far.

Yesterday we just traded our 2010 262 Nomad for a new 2015 Keystone RV Passport East Coast 2810BH. Can`t believe how lite they are. We pick it up next Saturday. Hope it`s a good one!!

Our friends have a Keystone Passport. Initially they had an issue with slide that was repaired under warranty. They really enjoy their Passport.

You may be safe with a stick and tin camper from Keystone but I've seen many more delamination issues on Keystone Laminated build campers(Passports, Outbacks) than other laminated build camper brands. If I wouldn't buy one, I wouldn't recommend one.

BTW, laminated build is a fiberglass thin skin glued onto luan (or other material), then glued onto a frame with Styrofoam insulation that fills the voids. The back side of this is now glued onto another piece of luan decorative interior wall board. All glued together.

I've come to the same conclusion about smooth sided campers in general of any brand. Our next camper will be another stick and metal Jayco. Our '07 smooth sided KZ has been great but the skin is starting to bubble.

We had a Passport Grand Touring model for several years, and really enjoyed it. It had an axel prob that was corrected under warrenty...in fact they replaced both axels with heavier ones. Generally I think Passport is an entry level type trailer, made of cheaper materials. But except for the axels we had no problems that were not created by ourselves...ie: opening a slideout with a cabinet door open and catching it...duh! We traded it this month for a Grand Design Reflection due to larger tanks and storage, and generally a large step up in finish, details, etc. But...having said that, we really like the Passport, and I don't have anything negative to say about it. But for the small tanks (35 Gals) we probably would still have it. (I did put 15 inch tires on in place of the 14 in)

We have a 2008 Keystone Cougar, 29BHS. Admittedly we haven't had it very long, but so far it's been pretty good.
The fixtures aren't "fancy", but they seem more than adequate for camping. Everything has functioning correctly.

The only bad thing so far was a break in the outer wall. After investigating it appeared as though an interior nail or staple pushed out through the fiberglass. I'm hoping it was a one time thing caused by heat or something benign.

Our 2015 Keystone Passport Ultra Lite is working well for us, so far. It has the layout I looked for in a travel trailer for many years. I'm a happy camper.

I have owned a Keystone Passport since 8-13.. So far it's been a rock solid camper, we had a few minor issues at first but the issues were taken care of quickly through the warranty process..

Have had our Keystone Hideout for 2 years now. Have had no issues with it. Everything works as it should. Have just spent the time personalizing it and making it perfect for us.
