Latest Alpine complaints
UNKNOWN The frame and wall of the RV seem to be separating. This is called frame flex in the industry. We are having the RV inspected to be sure. If this is confirmed it could put the passengers and others on the highway at risk. There were no warnings with the exception of physical seeing the damage before a professional inspection was done.
The contact owns a 2022 Keystone Alpine RV. The contact stated that upon delivery, the RV pipes were frozen. Additionally, the contact stated that the driver's side and the top large windows were shattered in the living room. The back wall had separated from the kitchen counter back wall. The solar panels failed to charge. There was water pouring from the belly of the unit. There was vibration while pulling RV. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the parts were replaced under the warranty after 280 hours. The mobile technician came to repair the frozen pipes. The manufacturer was contacted by letter, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was unknown.
Bent/broken frame. We are stranded in Northern CA. The unit is available for inspection. This RV is not safe to be on the road. The insurance company told is that it is non-drivable. See our story below: We have a 3 year old Keystone Alpine 5th Wheel. The frame is bent and cross members are broken. We do not know how it happened. There has been no accident, collision, we didn't run over anything that we recall, no sharp turns or anything that we can recall that would have caused this. We have reached out to...

Keystone. I literally had to call them and email them every day for 2 months to try to get any kind of answer. They came back and said that the problem is not theirs. That the issue must have happened due to impact. We have reached out to Lippert (again, will never buy an RV with a Lippert frame again and yes, I know they provide the largest percent of frames to the RV industry but there are also a lot of issues with the frames. Most people sign NDA's to get their problem settled. I probably would have settled for that just to get back on the road). They said they will not cover the issue since they believe there had to be some sort of impact. We have Progressive Insurance. They said they will not cover the issue since they do not see signs of impact and classify the issue as normal wear and tear. On a 3 year old RV that we bought brand new? Really? It took an unreasonable amount of time for them to get us answers as well. Meanwhile, we have been stranded for 3.5 months waiting for the 3 companies above to get us answers. The amount of time I have spent trying to get this resolved is beyond ridiculous.
On or about August 2021, the front frame flexed, causing the body to crack from both front slides lower forward corners going forward. Camper was taken to RVOutlet in Longs SC (now Blue Compass RV)to be repaired in September of 2021. The front frame section was found to be cracked, and was repaired per Keystone TSB procedures, repairs completed in February 2022. These repairs are documented by Keystone, however, I do not have a copy of the repair invoice as the dealer was sold and the computer systems changed, as...

I was advised I could not get a copy of the repair invoice. This was the first long trip, over 300 miles, the unit had been on, and the frame failed, has not shown any issues thus far after repairs.
I purchased a 2022 Keystone Alpine 3720MD fifth wheel RV from Bish's RV in Anderson, Indiana (Modern Trailer Sales at the time) in February of 2023. Starting in early 2024, I noticed a crack starting to form in the fiberglass exterior wall on the driver's side of the RV originating from the lower left-hand corner of the opening for the master bed slide. Over the past 7 months, that crack has continued to grow in length as well as get wider over time. I am very concerned about the structural integrity of the...

underlying frame of the RV as I have read about many other owners of Keystone Alpines experiencing "frame flex" problems with their 2022 RV's. I have submitted pictures of the problem to Bish's RV and took it to them for an inspection on [[redacted]]. After the inspection, they acknowledged it was a frame flex issue and said they would be submitting it to Keystone for warranty coverage. However, I have not been able to speak with Bish's RV since then, even though I have called repeatedly. They do not answer their phones in the service department and do not return messages. I would like to get this problem resolved before the problem gets worse or results in some type of catastrophic failure while driving it on the road resulting in an injury to us or another driver. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Unit has suffered damage to the chassis due to frame flex. An attempted repair was made by the manufacturer during the winter of 2023/2024 but again failed during the summer of 2024. RV was taken to a local dealer where a "Flex test" was conducted, unit failed the test as it exceeded the manufacturers tolerances. Unit has since been parked at the dealership while I battle the manufacturer on an attempted solution. This frame flex and failure is industry wide and affecting many RV's.
