Host Industries Toy Haulers 5th Wheel reviews

Thor Industries owns Keystone RV Company and the 2021 Keystone Cruiser Aire CR248L is nothing but a piece of JUNK!! We purchased the Keystone Cruiser Aire in April 2021. The very first outing was a disaster. We noticed water was leaking from the shower after the very first use. We went into the bedroom and the water had leaked into the bedroom. The leaking water had filled the floor vent in front of the king size bed. The awning on the outside had begun to rip after letting it out. There were other minor issues with the 5th wheel. We took the 5th wheel to Camping World on December 15. 2021 to get some of the warranty work done. To date, the 5th wheel is still in the repair shop of Camping world because they are unable to get the roller parts for the shower needed from Keystone or Thor Industries to fix the problem. We will NEVER purchase another Keystone product going forward!! It does not come close to one star, but could not give zero. Show less

We have had 4 citations and love them. Only problem is we have small round paint chips on both sides of our 5th wheel. Size of the end of a pencil eraser. Would like to send pictures, but can’t. Would like to know what is causing them. Show less

This 2006 M-30RSO Excel Classic is extremely clean and well built. It is being offered with a 2008 Chevrolet 2500HD LTZ Duramax diesel pickup and tons of extras, all ready for the road.. Non-smokers and pet free and at 32’, it’s the perfect length to be comfortable, yet fit in most campgrounds. Solid OAK cabinetry looks great and is built to last. It easily sleeps four and has tons of storage plus a full sized closet and queen bed. It includes a comfortable sofa /hide-a-bed, two free standing recliners, kitchen table and four chairs, AC or gas refrigerator, microwave oven, gas oven and 3 burner stove top. It has TWO air conditioners, central ducted heating, four solar panels and 3.5KW Onan generator. Extras include a 1KW pure sine wave inverter, satellite TV and surround sound stereo. (We really, really like this rig for staying in remote locations. Since it has four solar panels, there's very little need to start up the generator unless the air conditioner is needed.) With the stability of the long bed Chevy 2500HD Duramax diesel, it's very stable on the road. Our mileage varies by speed and headwinds, but generally runs 10-11 mpg and the 45 gallon auxiliary tank gives us roughly a 600 mile range. The four wheel low gear selection has been used a few times but we've never been stuck on soft ground and the truck is powerful enough that hills are no problem. I hope this is of some help if you are looking for a very well built and durable rig. Please feel to email me with any questions and if you would like to see more photos of both the RV and the diesel truck, take a look at my site: cranstonreid dot com/rv. Show less

This Excel was the perfect 5th wheel to decide the features, quality issues, and size/type RV for the ultimate retirement camper. We could not have wanted more in a quality build for traveling. It should serve as an excellent camper for someone for many more years. The factory warranty was given only one star since it no longer is under warranty. Show less

the rv is nice to operate but the workmanship is by far the worst i have ever seen since wwe have had it we have leaks in the windows repaired 3 times along with some of the paneling now the lino tore all along the cupboards to the slide so i went to replace it and found out the floor is rotten fromleaks along the wall so i started to replace the floor and when i took some of the floor off i found the half the insulation was not installed when a person buys an rv it should last awhile when your spending that kind of money your workmanship is terrible and i hope you improve for other people because i will never buy another product from thor Show less

Best 5th wheel I've owned. All details well thought out and very livable. Handles well in all driving conditions. The earth tone colors in the interior are great. The fresh water, grey tanks and black water capacities are very good. Show less

My wife and I have enjoyed this RV for 3 yrs. The floor plan is quit different than most by having a bar with 2 stools and the slide has the refrigerator in it which gives more counter space. These were well built units, buy a company that went broke in 2008. They were trying to build better than anybody else and did. Hope you enjoy RVing. Show less

Great toy hauler. Never had any issues with it. Love the layout and the garage. The interior doesn't have the look of a toy hauler. Tons of storage space for all your gear. Dual fuel tanks and fueling station so you have plenty of fuel for all your toys. Show less

I could live full time in this rv. It is quiet and is solid without movement. Pulls so easy with my truck that you barely know it is there. Cross winds do not effect towing. We can use all the amenities without extending any sliders. The AC unit works great in 90 Deg. temps. Electric over hydraulic disc brakes is very adequate. I love this unit more with each use.

My wife and I lived full time in this unit for six years. We traveled between volunteer positions usually spending six months parked at a our volunteer location, then on to the next one. The experience with the unit was very good and very livable. Although Peterson Industries went out of business a few years ago we have had no trouble finding excellent service technicians as needed to keep it in good condition. Peterson built quality units and we had excellent warranty service form the manufacturer and our dealer. We towed with a 2009 Ford F 350 King Ranch Diesel, the truck and trailer were a pleasure to travel with. I will be selling the truck as well when it is no longer needed to move the trailer. Show less
