Re: Montana vs. High Country
BEWARE OF THE KEYSTONE HIGH COUNTRY!!!! Friends of mine purchased one in Upstate NY they took delivery in October of 2014 and had it delivered to their site...They then went to FL for the winter upon return in April, they discovered their new RV's roof had collapsed under the load of the snow. Keystone would not help, their insurance covered their loan for 50K but they were out 10k down payment, their trade (which they owed nothing on!)taxes and fees! about 20k out of pocket for a unit that they only slept in 3 nights in OCT...Total Loss The new "Helium Technology" (stamped roof rafters) not the way to build a Fifthwheel Keystone! If any one would like me to send pictures They are now the proud new owners of a Jayco Pinnacle with the Magnum Truss Roof...Google Magnum truss roof and watch the video...this is the way a roof should be built! if anyone wants pics. of the damage I would be more than happy to email them to you!699Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ripple in Fiberglass on fron't of Trailer
What you have is a common problem with most light weight trailers being manufactured today. The front of your RV is not laminated. the fiberglass that is hung over the understructure is glued to just it's supports either wood or aluminum studs. Temp. changes will effect this ripple in diffrent ways througout the season. there really is no way to get rid of this problem. the fiberglass is only bonded to a very thin luan backer. Some manufactures do a better job than others by doubling the backer giving you a thicker covering that will warp less. Your stuck with it! The only way to avoid the problem in the future is to search for a Vaccum Laminated RV...NOT PINCH ROLLED...NOT HUNG...but Vaccume Laminated! Very few manufacturer's use this technology as it it more costly. But the advantages of owning a vaccum laminated trailer or Fifthwheel over a pinch rolled sidewall are huge! Vaccum lamination uses heat, pressure, and time to create a bond! Pinch roll uses only pressure and the glue is only given moments to bond...The only manufactures that I know of that have spent the money for this type of technology is Rockwood/Flagstaff, and Jayco.991Views0likes0Comments
