With the introduction of Keystone RV Company’s Max-Turn Technology, there is no more worrying about backing up or turning with your fifth wheel.  Increased turning radius and ease of maneuverability is just another great innovation from North America’s leading fifth wheel manufacturer.  In a nutshell, Max-Turn Technology means that turning in the tightest of campsites with your Cougar, X-Lite, or Cougar High Country fifth wheel has never been easier (or less stressful!),

Key Max-Turn Technology Benefits:

• Integrated Frame and Front Cap Design

• 79 Degree Truck-to-Fifth Wheel Turning Radius

• 1 Piece Front Rail Design for Maximized Strength and Maneuverability

Along with Cougar fifth wheels, Max-Turn Technology is also available in Montana, Mountaineer, Montana High Country and other popular Keystone RV brands.  Watch an informative Max-Turn Technology video on the Pete’s RV YouTube Channel!

A very enthusiastic Mike Mack from Keystone RV Company rolled into Pete’s RV for product training.  Why the enthusiasm, you ask?  Mike is a sales manager for Montana RV–the reigning number one fifth wheel for 10 consecutive years!

That said, he was pretty fired up to reinforce the many reasons why there’s more than 60,000 Montana Fifth Wheels on the road today!

A few of the noticeably impressive features for 2011 include:

• New vaulted ceiling profile with 5 inch non-tapered steel roof trusses
• 40 inch LCD HD televisions in most floorplans
• Visually pleasing AND functional 5100 BTU fireplaces
• Solid hickory hardwood cabinetry and residential grab handles
• Dupont Corian countertops with solid surface sinks and sink covers
• Remote control unit for slideouts, stabilizer jacks, awning and security lights
• Mor/Ryde suspension, Goodyear tires, Dexter EZ lube axles and Nev-R adjust brakes

Mike also pointed out several less obvious yet exceptional features such as:

• Certified zero degree cold weather insulation package
• 3 inch interior structure walls with no plastic mouldings
• Highly efficient straight-ducted heating system
• Vented attic to greatly reduce interior condensation and moisture buildup
• Swivel-top dinette table with extension and under seat storage chairs
• Even with all the fixings, it’s still the lightest high-line fifth wheel in its class

For an added touch of comfort and luxury, Pete’s RV includes leather furniture, a second A/C, dual-pane windows and side-by-side 12 cubic foot refrigerator options in most of our Montana fifth wheels.

Along with Montana, Mike provided feature overviews for Montana High Country and Mountaineer.  He stressed that both offer the same overall construction, durability and safety features as Montana.

Montana High Country’s biggest takeaway is Helium Technology.  On average, it is 2000 pounds lighter than other fifth wheels in its class.  Yet when looking at one, there’s certainly no sacrifice in upscale features or amenities (it’s smoked gray exterior is impressive as well!).

The key takeaway on Mountaineer is that it is unquestionably the best value for a high-line fifth wheel.  The space and comfort is all there along with a pretty spectacular package (we like the new graphics too!).

As the year progresses Pete’s RV will continue to highlight Montana RV features in more detail.  In the meantime, we welcome you to contact us with further inquiries on Montana, Montana High Country, and Mountaineer Fifth Wheels.

After an incredible 2010, Pete’s RV Center is optimistic that 2011 is going to be another great year for RV sales.  Their confidence was bolstered after previewing Keystone RV Company’s 2011 offerings at the National RV Trade Show in Louisville, KY.

An exclusive Keystone RV dealer, Sales Manager Todd McGinnis spoke highly of the new changes, floorplans and innovations across all brands:  “What continues to impress me about Keystone RV is they take great care when launching a new floorplan, or making changes to an existing model.  I never get the feeling they are just hastily doing something to keep up with the competition.”

To prepare for 2011, McGinnis orders inventory based on previous year’s popular sellers as well as new floorplans he feels will do well with consumers.  With so many new and exciting functional floorplans being launched this year, Pete’s RV is going to have an expanded inventory in 2011.  McGinnis confirmed, “Across the board, I saw several new floorplans that are going to be a hit with families and couples alike.  Therefore, it is a no brainer for Pete’s RV to make them available to our customers in 2011.”

Here’s some brief notes on what was showcased for 2011 by Keystone RV Company in Louisville:

Montana

New Fifth Wheel Floorplans: 3100RL, 3700RL, 313RE High Country, 290RLT Mountaineer

Notes: Crowned roof trusses and vaulted ceilings in Big Sky and Montana, new graphics on Mountaineer, Beauflor vinyl flooring in all coaches, and many subtle, but nicely done aesthetic changes.

Cougar

New Fifth Wheel Floorplans: 297RKS, 323MKS, 328QBS, 246RLS High Country, 29RES X-Lite

New Travel Trailer Floorplans: 321RES High Country, 302RLS High Country, 298BHS High Country, 28FLV X-Lite, 29RBK X-Lite, 32SAB X-Lite

Notes: Big changes and refined line up for Cougar, Cougar High Country and X-Lite. All will include fifth wheels and travel trailers. The most obvious innovations are the dyed cap and graphics on Cougar and very slick front caps on the travel trailers. Interior cabinetry and decor never looked better and some new floorplans to boot.

Outback

New Travel Trailer Floorplans: 298RE, 277RL, 279RB

New Sydney Fifth Wheel Floorplans: 322FRL

Notes: For starters, fifth wheels will now be distinguished solely with the Sydney name. We like this…much cleaner. That said, Sydney fifth wheels have a new graphics package. Outback’s biggest splash is the new front cap. Very nice! Both Outback and Sydney are offering 10th Anniversary feature and graphics packages. Oh yeah…be sure to check out the new vaulted ceilings on the Outbacks. Creates additional headroom and overall added good looks to an already stellar interior!

Sprinter

New Travel Trailer Floorplans: 255RKS, 271FL, 277RLS, 308BHS, 323BHS

Notes: Sprinter is manufacturing several new innovative floorplans for their travel trailers and Copper Canyon fifth wheels. These intelligent designs create spaciousness without compromise. Feature upgrades include Corian kitchen countertops, rich, dark cabinetry, Beauflor vinyl flooring, floor lighting and new graphics. To keep the brand straightforward, the Sprinter Select extension is discontinued–which make perfect sense to us.

Passport

New Travel Trailer Floorplans: 238ML

Notes: Most obvious change for Passport in 2011 is the graphics package. It has a nice pop to it and sure to impress in the campground or behind the tow vehicle. For early 2011, there is a Limited Edition package on Passport Ultra Light models (not Express). In addition to a very sporty graphics package, Limited Edition Passport includes an impressive list of standard features.

Springdale

New Travel Trailer Floorplans: 247FWRL, 292RL, 293RK, 295R, 299FK

Notes: Be it storage, countertop or room to move, Springdale’s emphasis is adding more space in their trailers.  Their new floorplans also offer more creature comforts including larger televisons, u-shaped dinettes and extra deep slideout rooms.

Raptor

New Toy Hauler Floorplans: 297SE, 4014LEV, 410LEV

Notes: The barn door porch system is an ingenious way to utilize otherwise little used real estate on a toy hauler ramp. What a tremendous space for outdoor entertainment! Other upgrades to note is further emphasis on making Raptor–and especially Raptor Velocity–the most luxurious toy haulers on the planet!
