gunsmoke,
First of all, welcome to the forum. We are a group of owners and prospective owners of Keystone RV products. There is a disclaimer at the bottom of every webpage stating that we are not affiliated with nor do we represent the Keystone RV Company. They do not monitor our site nor are there any members who work for Keystone that participate here in any official capacity.
Now, as for your comments regarding your Tailgator. It is a 11 year old unit and as the model years progress, refinements in options, function and usability improve. I can well remember my 1968 Airstream. The only resemblance it has with today's models is the silver skin on the outside. Your Tailgator is much the same.
As for your question regarding the fuel gauge, as our members read your comments, those who have something to share will post to your thread. Believe me, they are not bashful about making comments.
It is to be expected that your 2009 Forest River would have improvements over your 2004 Keystone product. The 2009 Keystone's have improvements not seen in your older model as well. Construction is subjective as much as it is objective and quality really depends on what someone is looking for. As an example, a strong chassis may be important to one buyer while soft cushions may be the deciding factor for another. There's usually an RV to fit most requirements that a buyer may have.
Remember about those "improvements in design and function" everything evolves. It wasn't too many years ago that all aeroplanes had propellers and a max cruising speed of 200 MPH. Fortunately technology had given us better aeroplanes just as it has given us better RV's... That doesn't necessarily mean the "old models" are "bad" they are just not as updated......
Enjoy your choice of RV's made by the many manufacturers, it's great that we all have a choice, isn't it?
Happy Camping
