Keystone Alpine Electrical problems by year

50 amp cord reel is defective. When plugged into a 50 amp outlet, My electrician found power all the way to the reel, but not to the internal fuse panel. These cord reels are known to have these issues as the fingers behind the power connection tend to arc and or corrode causing only one leg of power to make it to the fuse panel. I've contacted keystone and they refused to do anything about it. I'm afraid this could potentially cause an electrical fire in my RV unit

One of the batteries overheated causing hydrogen sulfide fumes to enter the RV coach. This was a battery supplied with the RV when purchased new.

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...

While driving, receive intermittent message 'trailer wiring fault'. Fifth wheel trailer brakes and lights not functioning.

The power wire to the emergency breakaway switch of a 2018 keystone alpine 3400rs 5th wheel trailer was wired directly to battery power without a fuse or circuit breaker to protect it. Due to another manufacturing problem, that power wire was pinched between the pin box (5th wheel hitch) and the fiberglass front cap of the trailer. The insulation on the wire chafed during travel due to flexing and eventually shorted to the pin box which is chassis ground. As the wire was not fused, it got very hot, melted the insulation on the wire, and melted to other wires in the loom. There was a high potential for a vehicle fire. *Tt *tr *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 (na) keystone alpine rv. The contact stated that the rv electrical system was defective. The contact noticed that the outlets failed to provide electrical power and the hot water system did not provide heated water. An rv technician inspected the power outlets and was able to correct the wires; however, the hot water system was not repaired and the wall needed to be removed to locate the defective wires. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 keystone alpine rv being towed by a 2013 dodge ram 3500. The contact stated that the microwave frequently turned on and off. The microwave convection oven was manufactured in january of 2013, model number cfmv154cls and serial number kg30102106. The contact noticed that items inside or near the microwave burned when the unit was not activated. As an interim repair, the contact disconnected the microwave to prevent the possibility of a fire. The manufacturer stated that the unit was included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v136000 (electrical system). The failure was not remedied. The rv was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.
