I pulled my new fifth wheel home today about 70 miles and the truck handled it great. I have about a thousand more lbs of payload over the Cummins.

I was working with a tech last week and he told me Keystone is not putting Key TV in new units now. Too many problems. Mine is the standard cabling (not Key tv) but I still had issues.

Well, with that all they have to do is to put better coax cable and take all the splitter out or is it that simple, unless that their is something else but I talking to Dish Network cs and she told me that there system don't like splitter.

You also have to realize that once that RV reached the dealers lot there were batteries, propane & possibly added water to the tanks, that will never be completely empty again, by the dealer that increased that dry weight by a couple hundred pounds.
