Our Copper Canyon has been fine. A few slight problems. I'd buy another Keystone. They seem to have something for any sized wallet. But then I'd also buy a Carriage, Jayco, Excel, Heartland.

What I would not buy is a Forest River.

When I stop spending money on repairs to my 05 cougar 302 (bumper pull) I will spend it on dynamite! Would I own another, only if I needed a tank target!

Like every brand, I guess. We had a Springdale and it was the most trouble free rig we ever owned. Not one problem the whole time we owned it and we pulled it 1000's of miles. Only the Chinese c..p bias tires didn't hold up long--but that's par with all of them.

When we went full-time we needed something bigger but couldn't afford the high-end units. RV.org rated the Arctic Fox higher than Montana so changed. Otherwise we would have bought another Keystone.

We have owned a Cougar 276RLS for about a month and a half and so far so good. Some very minor issues at first such as loose connections at the taps and at the hot water tank but really no big deal, I just tightened the connections and all was good.
Very happy so far!

Thank you ahead of time. We're looking at the 2011 Keystone Fuzion 322 or the 2011 Keystone Fuzion 360. Would really like to hear some feedback BEFORE we take the plunge.

We bought an 2010 Fuzion 322 about 2 months ago, and yes it is a very nice unit and I'm very glad we did buy this unit, we are almost completely happy with it, there are a couple of things that kinda bother me about it, but it could just be me as I'm pretty anal about things, I would really like it if Keystone would step up there QC department, as I found alot of things that would have takin about 5 mins to solve and clean, which we have taking cared of,We also have added a lot of things to it to make our own, all in all we are 95% happy with the appearance of the unit, (if they to not brand name every panel in the trailer insida and out I would give it 100%)
95% for functionality for the most part everything is working and is in the correct place.
100% for appliance's Refer,Stove Mircowave works great
100% for tv's so far so good
80% for the heater and A/C Bathroom can get way hot with the heater on and no heat in the garage
The thermotat sucks (replacing it very soon)
A/C runs super cold in the bathroom and almost nothing in the garage
100% on the generator
90% on the fixtures the over head fan is LOUD! (will be fixing that real soon)
80% on the window trim had to add brackets to make sure they do not fall off and then again (fuzion is branded on everyone) I know its a fuzion
90% on the cabinets 10% neg on the hinges and handles (all of them needed to be adjusted) once again QC problem
85% on the bathroom, (QC problem on the shower, needed to be re chalked around it) had some major gaps by the shower head could have been a huge problem if water got behind the shower,
80% on the garage, you really cant tie down much with those tie downs
not much heat when cold and not much A/C when hot
carpet in garage sucks
90% for the roof I see a couple of air pockets up there and one of the vents need a new cap on it
100% on the axles
Not sure about the tires yet
100% on the rims there nice
90% on the TH door I'm not sure how much it can hold but we are going to find out soon
90% on the under belly (it needs some help I had to add a lot of screws and re seal it)
80% on the plastic mud gaurds (these are some what of a joke IMO I replaced all of them with 1/8 Daimond plate) these things were held in with 1 or 2 phillip screws and half of them we not even screwed in all the way
and for the last part, the QC its got be around 50% IMO if Keystone could just spend a few extra mins looking into this area I really think they could have a very nice and complete unit
if you want more info please PM me and I will give you a list of things we have done

We have had our 291RLS fiver for 2 1/2 years now. Been fulltiming in it since October 2009.
Only minor issues when we first got it -
All quality control stuff - just minor.
We started in Ft. Laudedale, FL and now in Cape Flattery, WA - so we've gone completely cross country and heading east starting today.
Can't say we've had any problems. Things DO loosen up with that much traveling every 3-4 days.
We would definitely buy another Cougar again. We have seen LOTS of people in LOTS of campgrounds and no matter the cost of their RV - everyone has a problem here or there - some more than others.
Maybe we were one of the luck ones - but all I can say is - we got a good one!

We have a 2008 310SRX. It has the side door garage in the back. I had a propane genset installed when we bought it and two large 6volt batteries (320 amphour)

We haul all our photo equipment in it (about 1000LBS) We photograph dog shows and travel about 12,000 KMS ( 7500 miles) a year. 45-50 nights with 3 adults and two dogs.
No real problems yet. It tows easily. For the fact that it is a mid grade unit and we use it as much as we do it has been a good unit.
Cheers
Chris

We have been very happy with our 2007 278RKS. Great floor plan for us and it has been very good to us so far! We live in a moderate climate so the heavy insulation was not a huge need. We have had a couple little things but nothing the dealer or I couldn't handle quickly, and nothing any other rig couldn't have. I would buy another Keystone product.

We love our Cougar 276rls! We (knock wood) have had no problems with it. We bought it new in December and have had it out 4 times this year - loving every minute!
Price was right, quality was there and we made it our own!
Happy Trails, Okie

Very pleased so far with our 2010 Copper Canyon 324FWBHS. We've done 5 trips and shook the heck out of it on on of them, LOL. I'm quite satisfied with the fit and finish for an entry level unit and really think it was a good value. The floor plan and price were the biggest sellers for us as well as a good reputable local dealer. We've looked at fivers for at least 4 years all over the range from top to bottom and I'd agree that they all have small QC issues from time to time. We kept leading ourselves back to Keystone products based on the floor plans, features and prices within various ranges. I think most of the Keystone products represent some of the best value in their segments. Not top of the line, but well equipped with the most desirable floor plans. At this point I'd buy another Keystone product with no hesitation.
