Keystone vs Forest River

I don't think you are going to find that much difference in build quality between trailers in the same price range. The cost of materials and aftermarket components are going to be the relatively the same for every builder. They all use the same appliances and counter-top laminates. The only variable is really going to be the cost of labor, and since trailers are built in pretty much the same geographic area, that isn't even going to be much of a variable. I would put a lot of weight on customer service(or lack of). I currently own a Keystone trailer, and it has been relatively problem free, but based on a lot of comments I've read, I'm thankful that my involvement with their CS has been minimal. They literally refuse to talk to you after the warranty period is up, even to the point of not giving you very basic information about construction, wiring, or anything else. Because of their abysmal customer support, it's unlikely that I will buy another one of their products, and my next trailer purchase will be based on the results of a lot of exploratory phone calls.
