Keystone Alpine Body problems by year

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...

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 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...

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.

The pin box is moving separately from the framework. What this means is the structure the holds the pin box is starting to fail which could cause the camper to separate from the truck when being pulled down the highway which could cause injury or death to people on that highway. It's a known defect

After buying this trailer brand new, we took it on our first out of state trip. We drove from Minnesota to South Carolina roughly 1000 miles. In the location of the front kitchen slide out there is now a crack forming diagonally from the lower corner of the outside of the slide out. After doing research we learned this is what shows on the outside of the fiberglass when aluminum frame welds are breaking. We contacted Keystone, they started a warranty claim and gave us contacts to call. So far the only location...

Stress Crack under Kitchen slideout. Dealer told me this is common. I disagree

The sidewall of the camper is cracking at the front, lower corner of the left front slide out. This could be an indication of a major structural issue within the wall of the camper. This crack is located in an area of high stress due to the design of the 5th wheel camper. If the structure fails while the camper is being towed at highway speed, a catastrophic event would occur endangering my life and possibly the lives of other motorists. These seems to be a known, recurring issue in many Keystone/Alpine 5th wheel...

This has been a contiuned issue with not only the Alpine but Montana as well. Especially with Front Slide outs. The unit is cracking at the lower front frame of the slide out. Causing dangerous cracks to the inner frame. The unit is over flexing and therefore causing the Welds to break , which will cause the walls to crack and you could end up with extreme damage. My unit ended up with $20,000 worth of damage. I was lucky my insurance paid it, but at that time we did not know that it was a frame issue. It was...

5th wheel is experiencing what is defined as frame flex. My rig has not been fixed yet so i can not describe where tthe cracks are at this time. Keystone has said they will cover repairs. I feel this item should be looked at further, it is a know issue that is being covered up. Once I found a dealer to complete the repairs I stated I was nervous about traveling 6 hours to them. What they described to me about the condition of other rigs that have been brought in was scary. This defect can cause death if the rig was...

RV shows early sign of possible frame flex by developing a bulge on the front drivers side slideout area. Keystone was notified and denied warranty participation because unit was outside of the warranty period. Frame flex is a known safety issue on multiple RVs and keystone is aware of this. Keystone has repaired other units due to the safety concern of a crack in the frame jeopardizing the integrity of the RV while being towed. The RV was seen at the dealer who took measurements that are consistent with frame flex.

My husband and I purchased a 2021 alpine Keystone 3712 KB fifth wheel on June 2, 2021 around the end of Aug 2021. We left to Oregon for our vacation. Around the first part of September 2021 our trailer started showing signs of issues. We put it in the camper world in Eugene OR and found out that it had front structural damage where they tore out all the the foam off the front goose neck & replaced it with tongue in groove wood. In November 2021 we were finally able to bring the trailer back to Utah. On our way...

Shortly after picking up our new rv , we noticed the two center slideouts would creep out while towing rv on highway. We have notified keystone of this prob and have had the rv in the shop 2 times and was told it was a hydraulic leak , and still to this day it is still the same problem, slideout are coming out going down highway. I am taking the rv back in again to another repair shop. This is a highway hazard while the vehicle is in motion on any road or highway slideout out could hit anything in its path. Now as...
