Thumbs up Ice maker

We have the same unit and I just keep hitting the test button on the icemaker until it blows only air. It takes about 7-8 presses, but no problem for me. We have winterized 3 times and all worked...

Lables reversed.

I have found a lablemaker to be a requirement with Keystone. I had a Cougar and now a Montana HC and both had lable issues with the tanks and switches.

Ultimate hitch.

My Ultimate hitch is steel and mounted on a Reese rail to the Ram puck system on a 2017 Ram 3500. I have 5 inches clearance at the rails. This is not the aluminum model. That might help.

2500 or 3500

I had a 2018 Ram 2500, gas and it was borderline for our 331RLS. I now have a 3500 and the payload is 4300. Gas has larger payload as the diesel engine weighs a lot more and it goes against the...
