Read your Keystone Owner's Manual warranty terms. In the manual you'll find this: "Should you encounter an issue affecting the use, value or safety of your RV while traveling, contact your selling dealer for assistance. Should you need to locate an Authorized Keystone Service Center, a dealer locator can be found at www.Keystonerv.com or by contacting Keystone Owner Relations Monday-Friday 9am – 4pm Eastern time at 866-425-4369."

If you are not near your selling dealership, contact Keystone at the number above and explain the situation. They should have a means to help you resolve this issue.

The bottom line (I think) is summed up in the Owner's Manual with this statement: "If the dealer is unable to correct any covered defects that you believe substantially impairs the value, use or safety of your recreational vehicle, you must, to the extent permitted by law, notify Keystone directly of the failure to successfully repair the defect(s) so that Keystone can become directly involved for the purpose of performing a successful repair to the identified defect(s)."

This problem, at least in your opinion, substantially impairs the safety of your RV. So, by the terms of the warranty, you are "required" to notify Keystone directly of the dealer's failure to repair the defect. Even if the dealer is too far away to work on the RV, you still need to notify Keystone.

The last thing you need is to have the RV "burn to the ground" while you're complaining about the problem on this forum and the dealer/Keystone have no idea it's happening. Be pro-active, notify Keystone with a phone call, followed by an email (for documentation) explaining your understanding of what was discussed in the phone call. Maybe they have a means to help you that you're not yet aware of.....
Thanks, I have contacted both my dealer and Keystone. I left multiple phone messages for Keystone and have yet to be called back for a different issue from months ago. Email is apparently their choice of correspondence. However, thank you for the info and phone numbers.
