Good Afternoon!
We picked up a 2019 Keystone Passport 2400BHWE Grand Touring several weeks ago. We upgraded from a 2018 Wildwood Xlite 201BHXL. The slide-out and extra 4 feet make a huge difference! My wife and I have 3 kids and a Bernedoodle, so the Wildwood was a bit tight.
Doing some driveway camping and local test tows before our 2,000 mile shakedown trip to Oregon next month! Working hard to get all the kinks ironed out before we leave. So far, I haven't really run into any major issues. I did change out the plastic water heater cap for a brass camco drain valve.
TV is 2018 RAM 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 5.7L 4WD with 3.92 gears and integrated brake controller. Payload is 1,510 and tow capacity is 10,200. Upgrades to the TV include D rated KO2's, Trail Ridge tow mirrors, Hellwig anti-sway bar, and AirLift 1000 bags. Tow the TT with a Fastway E2 hitch.
Looking forward to hanging out here for a while.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new rig! Is your water heater an Atwood? If so you might want to read up on the brass plug in the aluminum water heater tank. It can cause corrosion due to electrolysis plus I believe using anything other than Atwood OEM replacement parts will void your 2 year warranty. Might warrant a little research.

Yep! I'd put the plastic plug back in ASAP!

Welcome to the forum from SE Texas. 2000 miles hardly sounds like a shake down, glad to hear your spending time in it before hitting the road. Enjoy!!
