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: 297
RKS, 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!

Coming off a successful 2011, Pete’s RV Center kicked off the new year as exhibitors at the 2012 Chicago Boat, Sports and RV Show held January 12th -16th. As first timers to this popular event at the mammoth McCormick Place convention center, it took a boatload (no pun intended) of planning and a sizable staff to work the five-day show.
