Smile New to pulling a 5th wheel

2nd trip in our new to us keystone cougar 333mks 2013 5th wheel. Towing with a 2008 chev silverado extended cab long box 3500HD. Have an air safe hitch. Towed better than our 23' travel trailer. Also getting about 23 L/100 km with 5th wheel. Trailer was worse milage 26 L/100 km? We are from Quesnel BC Canada and plan on going to Arizona for the winters.

Is there a fix for the Touch Panel? Know how to reset it but want to replace it.

Welcome to the forum.. They now make a rocker switch panel for the Cougars.. My '15 came with the rocker style.

Other than the panel you should really enjoy the 333MKS, we sure have.

I transport RVs and it's pretty much a consensus in the industry that we get better fuel mileage with 5th wheels than TTs. I also prefer to tow larger units over smaller ones. The small TTs just get sucked around too much by passing trucks. Larger units are just more stable.

Congrats and welcome.

You will love 333mks, I know we do and I have not heard anything to the contrary.
Our touch panel was switched out for a rocker switch style, while under warranty.
No other issues with ours.
