All ActivityMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsRe: Outback vs Jayco vs ReflectionI have a 2012 Outback 301BQ and have used it for 5 seasons. 80%+ of the time we have 8 people staying in the trailer. I have had only 1 major issue - fading front cap. Outback/Keystone failed to accept any responsibility after their 12 mth warranty for this problem; even though it was due to poor gel coat used during the MFG process. I will be hard press to buy another Keystone product.Re: Low Point DrainsI used Flair-it straight stop valves (12' Outback 301BQ). Easy install.Re: Jacking a 5'er with a bottle jackSafejack.com sells axle tube pads and other bottle jack accessories.Re: Insurance questionWhen we purchased our Outback 301BQ in 2012 I learned if you want liability coverage when your trailer is not connected to you tow vehicle your better off with a separate RV policy. RV policies varies in coverage and cost. EOD it is your decision which risks to insure vs self-insure.Re: ford ecoboostI have a 2012 F150 XLT Ecoboost S/C 4x4 6.5 ft bed Max payload and trailer package. After factory installed accessories the delivered payload is 2,196 lbs vs brochure 2,400lbs. Accessories reduce the advertise payload...saw trucks advertised/brochure with 1,900 payload delivered in the 1,500 - 1,600 range. The Ecoboost pulls our Outback 301BQ w/o any problems with sufficient payload for passengers and gear in truck bed. I ordered the truck, dealers normally do not stock the max payload. I would purchase again, no regrets with this truck.Re: Electric Tongue Jack adviceI also have the Barker 3500 VIP 24". The extra stroke helps with hitching and unhitching the trailer.Re: KeystoneWe have a 2012 Outback 301BQ. Minor nits, no major issues. I would purchase again.Re: KeystoneI own a 2012 Outback 301BQ. No major issues, a few nits similar to a new home. Regardless of brand successful ownership begins with the PDI. Find the issues before you leave the dealership! I live about 120 miles from our dealer (Holman's RV, Cincinnati, OH) and they allow you to spend the night in the trailer on their lot. We had additional 14 hours to inspect, try out everything and enjoy the trailer before we took it home.Re: Power tongue jackI have a Barker 3,500 lbs with 24" lift. Purchased in 2012. Price varies, search internet. I purchased mine from PPL in Houston.Re: TT with walk around master bed and bunkhouse?Look at the Outback 301BQ
