“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.
