I guess I will jump onto the soapbox----- when we bought our 2014 Keystone Alpine I read all the product booklets and owner manual. We took our first trip several weeks later.
There were no pictures or diagrams for which connector for the cable tv just a "satellite ready" sticker. No idea which position for water heater bypass just a sticker next to valve "water heater bypass off". The second day the kitchen sink was full and wouldn't drain. 82 gallon grey tank couldn't be full? When you open the hatch door you see the cable tv connectors (2), grey and black water drains, city water hookup and selector right there in front of you. What I didn't see was a drain valve on the side panel right inside the hatch opening! I had been only draining the shower tank. Why couldn't the manual mentioned to look for 2 drain valves?? Seems stupid not to put all cable drain valves together?? No matter what Keystone has thrown at us we still love our fifth wheel. We have had our moments though.
