While towing our trailer multiple welds broke and the 5th wheel eventually hit the truck bed side.

- What is wrong
- Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2018 Hideout recreational trailers, model 310.

What 2018 Keystone Hideout owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The propane gas auto change over valve on my Keystone Hideout camper is not working properly. Keystone says that my camper is not covered under recall 21V427. The date code on the gas valve is N 17 49. There is a Jayco recall for the same thing, recall 21V425. The 425 recall says that the N 17 XX regulator is part of the recall. Why is my regulator not recalled ? I am the second owner, but I verified with the original owner that the gas valve has never been replaced. Does Keystone need to expand their recall date range?
