Example complaints
Equipment: “The contact owns a 2004 Keystone mountaineer. The vehicle has a dometic refrigerator, model rm2852. The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign id number 08e032000 (equipment) and immediately called the manufacturer. He was advised to have his unit repaired according to the recall, which stated that dometic would install a secondary burner housing. He is concerned that the remedy would not prevent the failure, but rather contain it in the event that one occurs. The refrigerator has not yet been repaired. Updated 11-19-08 updated 11/20/08.”
NHTSA complaint #10244523, filed 2008-10Suspension: “Dt: the consumer has a Keystone Montana mountaineer travel trailer. The trailer had thrown the left rear tire in february 2, 2005. There was a bent axle on the right rear tire. The dealer did not know why it was bent, but thought it was like that all along. The trailer swerved back and forth because of the bent axle. On june 29, 2005 the trailer hit a guard rail. This occurred on highway 450n near franklinton, la. When he contacted Keystone, they told him that they knew why the tire came off, but would not give him anymore information. …”

When the first blow-out happened the truck I was pulling the trailer with began to vibrate and then within 2 seconds, before I could slow down, a loud pop came from the trailer and by the time I stopped the tire was shredded. I changed that tire with the spare. 30 miles later another tire blew. This tire was located on the opposite side of the trailer on a different axle. It blew out with the same truck vibration and pop as the other one. …”
