Owner report 11465691 · 2022-05-23 (May 23, 2022)
While traveling with the trailer the slide topper blew off the the holders. It did not come of the trailer complete but if it would have the roller could have become a projectile and damage a vehicle coming from behind. I believe it should have had two screws in the front and rear holder so if a screw bloke the other one would protect the roller. The one I had only had one screw installed but there is a second hole for a second screw. The screw not the front holder was not installed correctly because you can see where it is broke off. I have…

Owner report 11539701 · 2023-08-21 (August 21, 2023)
LED lights behind the burner knobs on the stove caught fire. When you turn on a burner there is a LED light behind the knob that lights up red to identify it is on. Turned it on to start cooking and while preparing food on the island after a few minutes smelled plastic burning. Turned around and a flame was coming out behind the burner knob. Quickly was able to extinguish it. Luckily I was standing right there. If not the scenario could have been a lot worse.

Owner report 11642276 · 2025-02-12 (February 12, 2025)
The model is a High County 385 BR and a crack appeared below the front bedroom slide and the slide stopped working correctly. I took the unit to Blue Compass in Katy, Texas and they discussed the issue with Keystone which resulted in the completion of what they called a flex test, basically they measure the distance between a fixed point in the hitch and the lower frame with the unit on ground on its jacks and then lift it on the king pin and make the same measurement, which I'm told needs to be 1/2" max, mine was over 1". So they took body wor…

this is about a recreational vehicle safety recall 24V-234 safety advisory 24-452 Suburban stove LED backlight printed circuit boards that were defective and should have been fixed or replaced under warranty. What good is a warranty if they just want to cut and terminate the circuit? Would it be ok to cut and terminate wires to a defective air bag in a vehicle? I would like to know why. We bought this product and they don't want to correct the problem, they just want to cut the wire and delete the function. I don't think this is right. Than…
