Talk to me about the Keystone Sprinter

[AH64ID]

They don't make standard RV's to survive that rough of a road. Even though my frame would most likely survive a rough road, the suspension would be toast.

Most of the newer Outdoors RV's, AF's, and Nash's are setup for rough dirt roads. They have shocks, as well as the flexing equalizers from the factory.

Out 2011 Creekside doesn't have shocks (no room to add them), but I added the Dexter EZ-Flex and it made a huge improvement on dirt roads.

Sundowners are awesome and will hold up to off-highway, but they don't have the ground clearance to do much off-highway around here. Too long and too low, with the axles too far back.

I've also looked at Mirage Balboa, but the wife doesn't like the lack of roof clearance over the bed.

Ya gotta look outside the box, that way I can spend your money Pretty sure they can build you one with more clearance and shorter. The kids can have the low roof over the gooseneck, you and the wife can have the garage after you unload the quads. That way no doubles towing.

If only Desert Fox made their 27FS in a 5er.

John,

I did not own that particulate brand of Keystone but I did own a Cougar 318SAB. I would be willing to bet that all of the major components that are in the Sprinter are very similar to 90% of the RV's being market today. Such as fridge, stove, water heater, A/C units, and so forth. You will have the same reliability out of these components as any other RV that uses the same brands.
Now the frames are definitely Lippert built to Keystone requirements for the Sprinter line. The 5er may have a 10" deep I-Beam and have a welded tube on the top or not for fastening the side walls. The side walls are advertised as a 2" laminated side wall with AL framed. The axles are Dexter e-z Lube the trailer may have 15" e-rated tires on it, I would check out the slides I think they are cable slides.
For the price point this maybe a fair product to buy. But it is not in the same class as a NASH Product. That's all I have to say on them.​

One trip through the middle of Los Angeles would be a good test without offroading, all of my cupboards were emptied after a trip through LA in the AF with shocks, I don't know about the equalizers though, its was rough on Interstate 5.
