If you do a forum search, you'll find a number of threads 5, 6 even 7 years ago regarding this problem. One of the "early solutions" was to add sand bags under the front bed when towing with a full garage... Yes, that was actually recommended by the dealer and by Keystone, although hopefully things have advanced since then.... This isn't true on all "bumper pulled toyhaulers" but does/did affect some models.
When I pull my Raptor '13 30FS with an empty garage my tongue weight is 2100 to 2200 lbs without any water loaded. If I put about 1000 lbs in the garage it gets my tongue weight to about 1600 to 1700...add water and I get to about 1900 to 2000 lbs. Definitely a balancing act.

You have 2 switches on your kitchen next to the stove.
1 controls your lights above the stove
2 controls your LED lights on your 2 speakers thats outside.
Turn it on and go see if your speakers will light up on the outside. They will have round leds in them.

I have same unit but 2018 model 332
So far one issue with heat.
If you run your heat for 5 minutes and you will open the door under the sink i bet my have way over 120 degrees in there. Garage duct wont blow any air. We took it to one dealer they did some work a little better. Right now took it to another Camping W they are still trying to fix that issue. Didn't order 2nd ac, it was prewired so i went and got my self brand new unit on CL for 300$ 1hr install with helper.
Run your heater for 5 min and let me know how hot it gets in your cabinet under the sink.
Far as your truck
I have a 2009 Ram 3500 6.7diesel Single wheel with WD hitch and 2 sway controls installed. With out sway controls i couldn't go more then 55. Installed 2 sway controls and doing 65 with out a sway.
Front storage door is way too small on them. Thats a big negative for us. But i have to have 12 feet garage for my 4 seat rzr and bumper pull gives me all 8ft bed for my kids little 90cc atv

Yes we figured that out, all we had to do is pop the switch out and hook up the wires they forgot to do, they were a bit loose back there.
Thank you for the reply I appreciate it.

SVT- First off what year Cobra do you have if it is a 03/04 I may be a bit jealous.

As far as the heat I have turned it on to make sure it works but that was it, I'll check under the sink see if it is like a 2nd oven.

Alliance tried to fix the duct work, and get the wires from dragging the ground and was a no go, although reported it fixed to Manufacture.

Lazy well they reported all repairs completed as well, duct work wasn't touched, they confirmed that when we picked it up, dead battery upon arrival so they didn't fix the drain issue, molding still off so that wasn't fixed, 3rd brake light has 1 sometimes 2 leds that come on.

Does the TV play through your speakers or only the TV itself, we get no sound out of the speakers when using the TV?

No air blows out of the ducts in the ceiling still for the front or rear AC.


Factory just throws them together, hopes no one will go through the dealers finding someone who will fix a little at a time.

We are now on our going to be on our 3rd try to get the original issues fixed.
Time for another youtube video.

We fixed the brake lights and charged the battery to get slides all closed up before we left.
I have bags on my 16 Ram 2500 Cummins, runs great although need a little more weight upfront, when my Honda 1000 UTV is in the back

I had a 2003 Ford Focus SVT when they just came out.
Then year later i opened my own auto body shop and was a nightmare for me to come up with the name. Sold my SVT focus and called my shop SVT auto body and sales

Only DVD plays true the speakers. TV no.
Its a nice unit. They are hard to find bumper pulls with 12ft separate garage. Still have to buy my self set up for the back ramp door. They quote me 3500 with new door

WoW $3500 for what, the kit to make it a porch, I've seen kits for less online.
But when I ordered it, that was part of the package price I ordered, and they of course used some budget one, doesn't look like the one on Keystones website, Fast Track Patio system, I had to do a video on one of my youtube channels to get the stairs.

I'll do another video for anyone else looking for these so they know the good and the bad, there is a lot of good with them, if they only finished putting mine together before shipping it off.
Once everything from the factory is fixed it will be awesome, hopefully that's before it falls apart from age or something else they forgot.

3500 it will include new rear ramp door that will hold more then my stock one. Cargo area holds 2000 lb I bet stock door should hold that as well.
I try to order the fence with out the door and they can't. I guess if I can have your door tag number I can order with no problem. Or part numbers from the fence. I can do the cables my self.
Check on the heater when you have time and check if your register blows hot in garage

That's true, you can't order the factory fence if not from the factory, I've seen aftermarket ones, I will look on it for #'s.
Definitely check heat next time I go into the unit.

Ramit-- on your tv you should have 3 rca's coming from the dvd player up to the main tv. take the red and white and switch them to the audio out on your tv. turn the radio part to AUX1 and it should play through your main speakers

I'd love a Terminator Cobra, but not going to happen, plsu I have a Jeep wrangler that never leaves the house and a Mustang Gt Vert, that I drove maybe twice this year.
I take them around the neighborhood, but that's about it.

I'm late reading this but will ask anyway. With all that was wrong to start with why did you ever accept this unit and leave the dealers lot with it?

The Cobra turned 16 this month, I ordered it on Job 1 day and it had 3 miles on the odo when I picked it up... I have '99 GT convertible that is my wet days car and the Cobra is my baby/sunny days car, but I still have managed to put over 75K miles on it.

It still puts a smile on my face, every time I start it up... when I am dead, my kids can fight over it.

The DW has the F150.

ramit, take them out and really enjoy them. B-O-B'03 has the right idea. This cpe has 97,000 mi on it since 97 and the last 4 or 5 years I haven't driven it a lot as I've been busy with other things, like this roadster. I did put 8,000 mi on the cpe in one month a few years ago. That trip was home to Sacramento to Tampa and back home

also i will be winterizing my unit my self. I won't use antifreeze i will just blow it out with the air thats what i did on my 2015 coleman unit. Do you just blow it out or you have to do something else like i heard there is a by pass valve next to water heater somewhere?
I am talking about blowing out with the air I know i have to add antifreeze to all my p traps, toilets, showers and tanks. I just don't want any antifreeze in my lines.
So do i just hook air hose to the city hook up and do about 25psi until all the water is gone?

From what I can tell, the Fast Track 2.0 patio is made by MORryde:

http://www.morryde.com/videos/toy-hauler-videos

If that was specified in the contract, that is exactly what should have been installed, not a cheap knock-off. You should not have to accept anything less. It’s amazing what some dealers try to get away with.
