Hi folks,


Just purchased a 2016 217EXP. New to rv'ing. In a sense that is, back in 2001 we had a used Palomino hard side pop up that our neighbor gave us, his wife couldn't get through the door anymore. DW likes the tent feel and this one does that plus it has overnight turtling (I like that word) capabilities.

Welcome to the Keystone site and back to the world of turtling. Yep, I had to go to Google and see what it meant. This is a family site you understand....

Welcome to the forums! I have the same model and we have really enjoyed it. I picked ours up in August 2015 just as it arrived on the lot. I've been really happy with the quality and build, and the family likes it a lot too. I have some other info on my Blog for things I"ve been doing to upgrade it along the way as we like to tinker....

Just read a couple of your blog entries. What a great idea. I can't find a listing for Colonial Woods Campground. Where is it? Thanks and keep having fun.

I checked your blog, good ideas. We have only had it for a couple of weeks and have gone through heavy rain and it stayed dry. It is very comfortable to sleep in. It was nice to hear that your experiences have been positive and your opinion on construction and overall quality are positive! It appears that there aren't too many of us 217EXP folks here yet.
