Keystone does it again!!!!

While doing the pre trip prep on the hauler and re screwing and nailing down everything that fell off from the last 100 mile trip I heard a chirp. Found the CO2 detector was bad. No big deal off to the RV store and found out these have a 10 year life span. Well mine says replace in 2012. My trailer is a 2010 so that means they put in a 7 year old part!!!!!! I already replaced the LP that was out of date before the trailer build out. The CO2 detector btw was 110 bucks. What a sad and shameful way to run a company

No disrespect. I believe every word of your post. I just don't understand how that old detector got there.

Are all the detectors in their build inventory 7 years old?

It just doesn't make sense. A year or two maybe, but seven years? WOW

Did they sit on the shelf that long or did they buy them cheap because of the age?

I know your out of Warranty so you won't get any help, but I'd sure be inclined to sent the CEO of Thor that bit of information. I won't say all of Keystone is run like that but, but sure does make you wonder.

Mine went out first year. Got one under warranty. However, they discontinued the model I had, so sent me the new model, which is smaller! Hard to fit in a larger hole in the wall!

I am going to have to cut a piece of wood, screw that to the wall, and put a smaller hole in that!

Nice.
