Colorado Camping and Dirt Biking

First walkthrough - 2019 Keystone Outback 324 CG

I found our initial walkthrough video from last year! This was the first time we had our camper out for a trip. It’s been a year now and we still love it. We had some issues with a wheel hub/brake assembly and Keystone was great throughout the warranty process. Some of the things we were looking for when we started browsing for new campers were:

  • King Bed - a MUST

  • A garage large enough to fit 2 dirtbikes

  • Ample storage space for riding gear, food, camping gear, etc.

  • Enough space for us to have friends along without feeling cramped

  • A larger water and poop tank than our last camper (Salem Cruise Lite)

  • Durable interiors and high-quality paint on the exterior - we have dogs and don’t want the fabric to be ripped the first time they jump on the couch

  • Could not break the budget as we would have to buy a diesel truck to pull this puppy too

  • Durable enough to be taken off-road

These are the things I am pleased with in regards to our camper:

  • No failures in the auto-leveling or interior technology

  • No issues with tears in the fabric or things falling off the walls (this happened in our last camper)

  • No issues with the appliances breaking or glitching out

  • We frequently go over extremely rough terrain and this has held together like a champ - no flat tires, no suspension issues, nothing breaking inside…

These are the things I am less than pleased with in regards to this model:

  • Lower than average kitchen storage (they make up for it in the bedroom storage)

  • An issue with wheel hub/bearing/brake failing within the first year - thankfully Keystone was amazing in getting us taken care of

  • Exterior storage seems slightly lacking

Overall, we’re extremely pleased with the Keystone Brand and this particular camper. We still think these interiors are competitive with 2020 models at 2-3 times the price we paid for this. We bought this RV at the Denver Travel Trailer/RV show and got one heck of a deal (Over 20K off MSRP)!. If we were doing it all over again and purchasing another bumper pull toy hauler, this would be the one we’d pick.
