Hi. New owner of a 2014 Springdale 310BH. Conveniently didn't come with an owners manual specific to that model (I've gotten by with the one that Keystone has on their website but it doesn't get into model details). Anyhow, just wondering if anyone is familiar with the stock radio in these models and if it has optional line outs on the back for subs, additional speakers, etc. Haven't gotten as far as trying to figure out how to remove the radio, doesn't look easily accessible. I am ultimately looking to do a wireless signal option to a subwoofer that will be out on a deck we have attached to the trailer but I may just fish a wire as well.

There is no "model specific" owner's manual for any Keystone product. In fact, there is no "brand line specific" owner's manual either. Keystone produces one owner's manual applicable to every trailer they produce, from the least expensive, entry level travel trailer to the most expensive, luxury fifth wheel. They all are "included in the generic manual"...

As for your specific appliance and equipment manuals, if you find the brand and model stereo that's in your trailer, then use "google search" for that brand/model, you should locate a pdf file for the manufacturer's operating instructions for the equipment. You can do that for nearly everything in the trailer from the refrigerator to the axles and from the furnace to the air conditioner.

Something you may want to walk outside and check "right now" is the date of manufacture on the tires. ALL ST tires "age out" at 4-6 years after date of manufacture. If the previous owner didn't buy new tires, or if the tires aren't current (both in DOM and in size) you may be "towing on a "bomb about to explode"... Many owners have been "caught in that trap" by ignoring tires or by "only towing this one time" only to find that a tire blowout that damages their trailer beyond economical repair. On a 6 year old trailer, $5,000 in damages from a tire blowout may mean your insurance company "total's the trailer" paying you only the NADA wholesale price... For many people, that's not a "happy conclusion to towing just this once"....

Welcome. There are no "model specific" manuals. If you purchased it new it would come with a packet full of the papers that came with each appliance, just like when you buy a television at home.

As you purchased a 6 year old unit how do you know if the radio is original? Best advice is see if you can find the make and model then search the web for a manual.

Manuals are pretty irrelevant since things are often changed on the fly during production. Mine came with a Furion manual, a furion remote and a Jensen A/V unit. When we were shopping, we saw units that had both types of units, even for the same model and year. Best bet is to look at the face of the unit and then look it up on the internet for specs.

Best if you can post the model of radio or a picture so you can be helped.
Some of the rv radios have a 1/2” plastic trim piece around the radio, it just snaps off and there are 4 screws under the trim. Remove those and the unit will just slide out toward you. Be ready to support it, the extra length of wires may only allow it to come out about a foot.
