Keystone TT

FYI Thor has bought out most RV mfg's.

Does not surprise me, in 2008-09 when the industry went south that happened

I bought a 2016 28ft Cougar from Diamond RV in Hatfield ma.We are very satisfied with the quality and the service we received both befor and after the sale.we had the awning motor fail and it was replaced no problems with warranty work.

Look long enough and you’ll find issues with all manuf. it’ll get to the point you won’t want to buy anything.

Forest River and Thor are 2 of the biggest manuf.

I have a 2014 Bullet Premiere 31BHPR... Love it and no issues worth mentioning.

It's not unusual for many satisfied owners to not go out of their way to post good reviews.

Bad reviews, there are some folks who complain about manufacturers when their problem was actually self induced. And, there are some folks who complain about the RV manufacturer, when the real cause of their problem is a dealer or a company that makes the subsystems. IE: entertainment systems and appliances, etc

You'll see more complaints with Thor and Forest River simply because they make more units.

Great Thanks for everyone's post. I'm glad to hear it because I am finding a lot of nice used ones

From what I’ve seen, they are no better or worse than most others. When we bought ours, we were looking for certain floor plans, not manufacturer. And I went over, under, and through it with a moisture meter, screw gun and flashlight.

We have friends that own a Keystone TT that they bought new. After a couple of years the cabinetry and dinette was falling apart due to poor workmanship. I spent a day fixing it for them.

I've been to our local RV show a number of times and have seen Keystone units with obvious, in-your-face, bad cabinetry workmanship like cabinet doors that can't be closed due to improper installation of hinges for example. You'd think the dealer would go through a TT and fix things before thousands of prospective buyers parade through it.

The worst case about a Keystone TT was a guy we met in a CG. His roof leaked like a sieve from new. The dealer could not fix it and it got sent to the factory for repair, but the factory only made it worse. He ended up fixing it himself.

I've seen Keystone TTs on display at a dealer and just for fun have looked at GVWR and tire and axle capacities. Keystone will sometimes install tires and axles that are very close to their max. load ratings. No law against that unfortunately. Then an owner can end up with a blowout or bent axle and wonder why.

Personally, I'd never buy a Keystone but other owners claim to have had few issues. We were lucky with our KZ TT as it was one of the last to go out the factory door before Thor bought them out. If we were to buy again, the only one I'd consider would be an OutdoorsRV TT. Keystone uses bling as a lure but it's what you can't see that matters most. Choose wisely and don't get sucked in by the price because you can spend a lot more dealing with issues down the road.

A dealer can also be a big factor as many are inept at repairing things and can take forever to do warranty work.

good point here.

more units, more problems in general.


even airstreams have problems are they are considered "high end quality"


i only review or give opinions based on my personal experience


wife and i bought a 2018 fr wildwood 33 ft last july.

we loved the floor plan and price was in our budget.

i didn't want to buy new but after looking at used TT in north carolina over about 3 months the 2 problems i found were

#1 finding a couple floorplan we liked. just wife and i no kids.. not interested in bunk house. alot of used bunks out there.

#2 asking prices on 2 to 3 year old TT's were almost as much as new off lot. probably because most were upside down on loan when they are trying to sell. same with newer harley davidson motorcycles.




we have been very lucky with our rig. must have rolled off of assembly line tuesday thru thursday


no isssue so far in regards to assembly.

i maintain and inspect it myself.

my truck is a f250 and matches up great with TT

TT gvwr is 7720lbs,

i have weighed on catscales and am about 700lbs under that weight ready to camp. we dont dry camp or boondock so don't need extra weight for h20 and holding tanks

we are weekend warriors usually twice a month but do have longer trips
booked this year.



my final point is that you can purchase a new or used lower quality "entry level" TT and get great enjoyment out of it. we sure are.
