Just a heads up to owners of the Retreat park model trailers. Check your windows on your slide. The back corner one leaks bad. I know of 7 trailers that are like this and the factory does not want to fix them . Just a heads up. I work part time at a dealership and most of the trailers are brand new.It is the small window on the back corner

not to be smart or anything but most of them have 2 or 3 slides, and it’s hard to believe that if they have window problems it would only be on the back corner window…you seem to know a lot of retreat owners, seven of them, since they have only been on the market for maybe 5 years… did they all just start leaking… how was it concluded the window was the cause of the leak, and maintaining the seal on the roof or the windows is an owner responsibility anyhow…at my home base we have three Keystone dealers within an easy drive, I know there are at least 2 Retreats set up in the park but I don’t know the owners…

Broad general statements that denigrate entire product lines lack value. Specifics on what to look for to identify the issue and the maintenance required to prevent this situation from occurring would be much more helpful.

To gypsy. I know for fact. We bought a 2012 retreat and had it one summer. The windows leaked so bad that the skirting on my chair was soiled. Also when it was all said and done we had $ 25,000 worth of repairs to fix in a 4 month period of owning the trailer. I work at a place that sells these trailers and I know for FACT that everyone they have sold leak. Keystone does not want to admit their issues and did not want to pay to fix the issue.I have a very good friend that does the repair work there and they did a pressure test on the windows and every one of the windows leaked. He tells me they have not designed the proper window to fit .
