Keystone Outback Toy Hauler reviews

My RV was droped off during covid. Driver refused a walk through because it wasnt his job. Both roof mount air conditioners did not work. It took over a month of fighting with Gander RV in Idaho to have them replaced. I was retiring and wanted to travel. Propane heater has been in twice because it wont come on. Electric Fireplace started amoking and I shut it down... Am bing told by Camping world that the plug that powers it melted. Radio and TV come on by themselves intermittently and will turn on putter speakers by itself. Warranty says they wont replace it unless their representative witnesses it! SERIOUSLY They tried to say it was a power surge... I showed them the surge protector they sold me that is in perfect working order. Then warranty told the Service people they then believed it was possibly struck by lightning. Service center told them there were no evidence of that and the problem is only centralized by entertainment center. They love to take your money but you have to fight tooth n nail to make them replace things in a unit you bought brandnew for 50 grand. Plus bought their extended warranty... I had to cancel retirement travel due to all the ongoing issues. Pretty sad! Now they will pay for replacing the electrical outlet and fireplace but told me I have to pay for all shipping costs of parts? 36 years of breaking my back to retire and this is the business I have been dealt!

Hated to do this but I'm so over Keystone RV. They are the worst and thanks to there being NO lemon laws I have ZERO legal recourse. They are refusing to refund my money at all. I hope all my friends post this everywhere they feel comfortable. Here is a SMALL sampling (I have 27 pages of repair requests) of what has happened with my NEW camper since I picked it up on 4/12: 3/30/2023 bought the camper 4/12/2023 picked up from dealer 4/16/2023 first incident with the vent covers and roof inspection, side of camper flapping going down the road and broken leg on couch in cargo area 4/19/2023 wire creating spark when moving the slide, front door not latching, front cap on shower not attached bowing out 1/2", screws missing on the panel, drawers not latching 4/28/2023 took in for water heater throwing an error the roof inspection showed sealant with voids. 06/02/2023 window blew out of camper while driving to appointment, awning has cuts, awning lights not fully working, Entry door latch broke locking me in the camper, leak from under shower running into the bedroom damaging bathroom sink, water leaking around vent not at the cover damaging the ceiling on both sides of it they said they found no leak 6/16/2023 more water leaking under the camper and the fireplace, water heater installed incorrectly causing it to leak, speaker fell out of ceiling, black tank not draining fully, kennel door not closing was put in crooked, 7/6/2023 ceiling still getting wet when it rains. Water heater had an E3 error, Kitchen sink not draining properly causing water to run out from under it into the living area, peeling around the cabinet in the bedroom 7/10/2023 got home from the dealer (they kept it over the weekend) and noticed that the wheel well was coming off. 7/31/2023 took back for more issues regarding the walls bubbling and repair of awning and window. When they figured out the black tank flush inlet found it was going straight into the fresh water tank contaminating the fresh water tank more every time I thought I was flushing the black water.

We purchased this RV in January 2021 (brand new) from the well known RV dealership located in Strafford, Missouri. Eighteen things fell apart on our first camping trip in March. We do not recommend this model or this well known RV dealership.. It has been a two year battle trying to get it fixed. It still is not fixed. Things that fell apart: Bed (lifts up for storage) it came apart when opened borad was broken, bench seat at dinette collapsed, radio quit working, tv bounced all around (only one screww holding it to wall), etc. The well known RV dealership has not honored the warranties. Still trying to get the slide fixed. This camper has been a lemon since our first camping trip. Have contacted the CEO of this well known RV dealership more than three time. His saying, "If your happy then I'm happy", is a big joke! We are definitely not happy campers! Show less

I wish I'd read some of these reviews before purchasing. Got this unit, brand new in 2022. For 3 months the factory had lost the unit on one of their storage lots. Pretty much missed the entire summer before it arrived. Got to use it for 1 week, and went through it. Found so many cosmetic issues from it obviously being slammed together. Damage to trim, a big chip in the porcelain toilet, evidence of workers wiping their hands of caulking. Roof vinyl wrinkling. The fridge doesn't work. This unit has spent more time getting parts replaced than I've actually used it. The fridge has been "fixed" 3 times , and as of this writing, while on our second trip with it, it is still not working. All of the Brad nails used inside are failing and trim is falling off in multiple places. Other things fall off at random. For the premium price of this unit, you would think there would be some pride in workmanship. This is clearly not the case. Would never recommend a keystone unit to anyone. I can tell that this thing is going to be nothing but problems for the entire time we own this. I'm now happy I sprung for the lifetime warrant. I will need it. Show less

The Cadillac of the RVs? NOT!!! Maybe a Yugo! We bought a brand new Keystone Outback Toy Hauler at the end of January 2022. The owner of a very prestigious RV Dealership told us that we are getting the CADILLAC of all the RVs. A year and a half later I'm starting to wonder if this is what they tell to all of their customers because nothing could be further from the truth. Things that broke within first three months: the water pump and the valve. Things that broke within the first six months: the bed ( the slideout is actually the support for the king bed ), the table. Things that broke within the first year: the toilet, the awning, the space heater ( furnace ) , the bathroom fan, the shower pan, the outside valve for the black tank, a lot of wood covering ( cabinets, door ) got damaged and peeled off, the awning lights ( not all of them but a few LEDs are not working anymore ) . The propane stove is fine but the oven is a joke, it turns off by itself every five minutes ( or less). Communication with the company was extremely difficult, almost non existent with sometimes more than two or three months between sending and receiving an answer to my emails. Although we kept all the documentation, the quotes and the invoices from the repair company ( including the broken parts and pictures of the defects ), in the end they only offered to pay for about a quarter of half of the repairs cost and the explanation was rude and borderline disrespectful. Such a shame that a beautiful RV lifestyle can be shattered by a company that has 12.6% market share but it's no wonder that the number went down from the years before. Show less

Purchased a used 2012 230RS (same as the current 240URS) in 2018 for the front garage & 1/2-ton capability. It's been a great ownership experience. PROS: light weight, overall value, great relative build quality, front storage, a bath tub, outdoor cooking & TV hookup, high ground clearance. CONS: limited exterior storage, limited fresh H2O tank, decals fade quickly, must be mindful of load balance w/full H2O, no onboard genset. We can fit 2 full-size bikes, or a full-size and 2 to 3 kids bikes (65cc). Front garage allows space to put toolbox, picnic table, portable grill, & fold-down bunks give the boys their own room when setup. Having a 27-ft w/o side slides allows access to some parks/sites that limit slides or length <30. Cabinet & external storage is limited, wish it had a large pass-thru outside. If towing w/o a lot of weight forward & full H2O trailer handling degrades. We attend 8-14 races/yr, lots of backcountry & off-grid. Rear king bed is great. Nice having a real dining table unlike many toy haulers Downside is having to unload garage for boys to sleep up front, but if we're pulling roadside for a night they can sleep in rear bunks (coach & table fold). Rig can sleep 6 comfortably, 8 in a pinch if kids. 24ft pwr awning is nice - covers garage entry & then som. Wish it had larger tanks (43 gal fresh H2O) frame doesn't allow for addt'l tanks. Insulation proved great - no freezing H2O at temps in teens, easy to keep warm (unlike parents' Airstream). Only issue was H2O tank cracked from old age (now 10), but otherwise It's never let us down, and left a good impression of the brand. Show less

When we were looking for a toy hauler with a sep garage we looked at reviews and utube and saw a guy in Indiana who had a video of the unit. We were impressed and he stated the toy hauler garage had the tiedowns in the frame rails. So we felt good about securing a 2019 Harley Davidson Ultra Limited. Yes it has to go a little sideways, its too long to go straight in. On our first long trip the tiedown pulled out of floor and we had to of coarse get it fixed and pulled all the tiedowns out because every one was installed in wood. Inch and 1/2 screws in wood so we had the whole floor cover removed and did the covering like a garage floor and installed the stainless bolts with backing plates and put a big Harley sign in the middle and sealed it. Also I put a chock in so when I come up the ramp turn slight right and frt wheel locks in. And I put the tie downs where needed. Now I know the 30 thousand motorcycle is secure. Also just put in a heater kit that you can order online with two sensors and a burner tube for 115.00. And installed my self and tied up the wiring and cleaned out the area. Also replace the water heater element and anidizer , unscrew after you drain water from faucets and replace every year. I put another faucet in sink in Bathroom because finish was crappy and cheap. Regular one at Lowes 40.00 works great.. Also the radio , I will replace with a upgrade because the bluetooth is not sinc. Other than that on the bottom bunk it you open them correctly they will not break. They sent me one when we bought it in Jan 2021, and the shop broke one and had to order and i replaced both. The finish on outside of trailer is nice and keep it clean and it looks brand new. Everything else works good so far just do yearly maintance. And grease your hubs every year and it pulls with a silveraldo 4x4 5.3 with stabilizers great. I'm pulling 6500 lbs loaded and get 14-18 miles per gallon in mountains to coast. Show less

My wife and I purchased this rv in September of 2021, what a pile of crap, we've used it twice and have had issues with just about everything. I can't wait to get rid of it. Sorry keystone never again. Show less

Bought a brand new 2021 Keystone outback Ultralite 240URS and was super excited to see my rig. Allow I do still enjoy it, the attention to detail in the manufacturing process was unfortunate. Mounting 3 sets of blinds extremely not level (easy to see with the eye), and 2 water leaks immediately after receiving the travel trailer. I guess the technicians and workers putting these together are not pushed for quality. Everything does function, just sucks to spend so much money on a brand new unit and take the hit with brining it right back to the dealer to be worked on a week after. Show less

We love our RV, it is perfect for us, because of the Garage. Lots of room and storage. Unfortunately the floor of the main Slide-out dropped down, while at the dinner table, revealing a 1.5" crack to the outside. We are waiting to see if the manufacturer will stand behind, and repair the structural damage. Show less
