New to Keystone

[Roger66]

Hello,
New to keystone site. Belong to the thor and sunline sites.
We just bought our first keystone yesterday. 2016 outback 316rl.
The tt has never been used so it's basically NOS. Long back story....
We detail cleaned it yesterday on the inside. Have to wait for spring to detail the outside.

Couple little things need some love like trim and to figure out an issue with the receptacle above the stove not working.

Looking forward to some wholesome discussions.

If the camper sat unused, you might want to get on the roof and check the seals around the penetrations. Perhaps no maintenance has been done. Good luck.

I have checked the roof and all roof penetrant areas. All appears to be OK but will get reinspected and as necessary pm in the spring.
Thanks for the advice greatly appreciated

Welcome. Some unsolicited suggestions: check the date code on the tires and look for dry rot. If original, they are most likely aged out. And I'd re-pack the wheel bearings. Happy travels.

Welcome from northern MN.

We are planning on putting new on before our first trip.

It has D ply on it and thinking I should put E ply on.

Our sunline is about the same weight and it calls for E.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on getting your new camper. Enjoy and Happy Camping!

The new camper has been quite the adventure. Or should I say the surprises we've found that the previous owner left us. Now according to the previous owner it was winterized.

New tires are on hand. Have to schedule an installation date with the garage.

I didn't finish my one post lol the surprise they left us was about 5 pounds of poo in the black tank and a full fresh water tank. Thank goodness nothing broke over the PA winter. Everything has been tested and about the only thing to do is sanatize the fresh water system and check the roof and reseal as necessary once it gets warm enough.
