Miles, this is not at you so take with a grain of salt, but....
Keystone is not the only RV manufacturer that designs things the way they do...some seemingly dumb. They all do it...it is the manifestation of so many, wanting so much, for so little....and they sell like hotcakes. Then, when one of us buys one and it's not designed like a million dollar home we b***h. The amazing thing is these things, built as cheaply as they are, are able to withstand thousands upon thousand of miles traveling over horrendous roads; then, we park, open the slides, turn on the utilities.... AND THEY WORK!! All for a pittance.
I know folks get frustrated with their unit - I've had LOTS of trouble with mine...but I love it dearly. I, and the dealer at times, took care of mine...that's what you do. Do I think I would have had better luck with Rockwood, other FR products, Jayco, Palomino, etc. etc.??? NO! I looked at all of them and have owned some. Do I make sure I rant and degrade Keystone at every opportunity? No. An RV is an RV, you have to set your mind to that. Sort of like buying a .22 and thinking you're getting a .45...sorry.
Sorry for the rant, and Miles this was not directed at your post. We have had so many posts lately that belittle Keystone (and yes they have quality issues like EVERY RV manufacturer I know of) and folks just carrying on about how much they hate their RV. Really? Why? If I disliked ANYTHING as bad as some of the posts on here sound I would have been somewhere, buying something, that made me happy- right now - for a little while.
Rant over....
