Agree with HOTR. Take the VIN number of the model and call keystone to see if Service Advisory 00-8 has been performed. They track it by VIN number. This is a frame upgrade that re-enforces the spring hangers in the wheel well area. If it has not been done check with Keystone on how to get the upgrade done. Normally it is free of charge but check it out to be sure. It can be done at local welding shops.

I suggest you look at postings in this forum and you will learn what problems to look for. Most the the postings apply to all trailers so you can build a good checklist here regardless of which one you buy.

Good luck on your selection.
