It doesn’t matter if they are going by some updated rule! If they are using it to skimp on safety equipment then you know they are really skimping in other places. Actually now that we know they are skimping on safety that really questions the operation of Keystone!
And other manufacturers dont skimp, it's only Keystone skimping? They all skimp on both safety equipment and other things. They install the minimum required fire extinguisher. You would be lucky to put out a birthday candle with one of those things. They install the cheapest smoke and CO detectors that can be found. They install tires that are rated right at the max but only if you count X lbs as hitch weight. They put one screw where you need three, and the one screw is most likely stripped. All of the electrical items from a 12V switch to the radio or TV is the cheapest junk availible. The pleather used for upholstery may make it 5 years, I doubt it though, and the cheap foam will be crushed flat never to return regardless. The plastic faucets will wear out if you use them, actually they'll probably break in half, and everything plastic outside will deteriorate from UV damage in about 3 years.
All of them are skimping.....not only Keystone. When you look at sales numbers broken out by brand, Keystone outsells all the others in TT's and 5th wheels by a longshot, and has done so for years.....skimping evidently must work.
