Keystone utilizes space really well and we like this camper alot. One thing that is majorly annoying is the 30amp service, it is not sufficient. The previous owner melted the power cord head by drawing too much amps. You can't run everything in the camper without blowing the main.....electric fridge, hot water, AC, microwave......little annoying. The RV should be a 50amp.


Rule of thumb, only operate 3 major things at once.
I agree with you completely.
It's surprising (until you do the math) how much more power 50amp service provides compared to 30amp service.

30amp x 120vac = 3600 watts.
(50amp service x 2 legs) x 120vac = 12,000 watts.

I know it costs more to produce a 50amp wired vehicle, but just pass the cost on to the buyer. It's not that much more money.
