Example complaints

Equipment: “I have a 2002 Keystone Montana fifth wheel rv. Last year I took it in the shop because my slideout was moving when it was hooked to the tow vehicle. Long story short, it has been in the shop four times and their are still problems with the frame. The problem is the welds keep breaking on the frame. The shop told me I was lucky, that with the way the welds are breaking, the whole unit could have fallen apart or off the frame while on the highway. Still not sure how to fix this. There were no incidents caused the failure. So far it has cost close to $8000.00 in repairs and it still breaks. …”
