Somewhat disappointed

[triplebvalp]

We are new to the Montana Community and to our Montana High Country. With the stupid virus shutdown and extremely limited campgrounds, we have managed to take our MHC out for a 4 day adventure and "check-out".

No problems found … well, 1 problem that was an easy fix. The cold water connection at the island kitchen sink was loose. No big deal … other than that all checked out just fine.

Anyway, I have been cruising the Forum and found that Keystone does/will not release the schematics of their RV's. What's up with that We owned a Jayco Eagle HT for nearly 3 years and I collected several schematics from Jayco during that time of ownership. I didn't need them for repairs or trouble-shooting, just wanted the schematics for "just in case". Jayco always sent what I requested within 2 days via email.

So, again, what is Keystones problem with releasing schematics ? Curious minds want to know

I'm pretty sure the designs are considered proprietary, not that you couldn't take one apart to see the design. They probably change things so much during construction, that drawings would never match what was built at any one time. Even electrical schematics would be worthless, because none of these rigs seem to be wired the same. We've had our rig for almost eight years and have never even thought there was a need for any drawings. I did draw up the plumbing layout behind the convenience center just so I could understand the valves a little better, but everything else is just a guess. Welcome to the forum, and enjoy your new rig.

I'm on my 3rd Keystone camper and if you consider a Dutchmen from 20 years ago, Keystone, before Keystone took them over, well, even my first travel trailer, a Dutchmen Sport, back around 2004 ish, never had any kind of manuals or schematics available for the general public. I've been on a few different forums over the years and to the best of my information, no one has ever received a blue print or a schematic of any kind from any model of a Keystone product, ever. They exist though, because my dealership can pull up anything on their computers, but not the end user consumer.

Of the three 5ers and several TTs I've owned. the only one that I had awiring and plumbing schematics for was the Newmar Kountry Airw - and that was only because the dealer's service manager was a friend and made a copy for me. These schematics barely covered that trailer with many deviations

I was chasing down bad coax in the trailer until they went into the ceiling. After several calls to Keystone I finally got a body in "engineering" and asked for schematics for that wiring. They would not relinquish any drawings. He quized me like I was trying to steal company secrets and eventually told me the runs of coax have no connections above the ceiling panels.

The best info out there is in these forums and your own ability to do repairs.
