What 2005 Keystone Raptor owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Carlisle tire(225x75x15) on middle axle on keystone raptor separated, looked as if steel belt had cut into sidewall as a defect. Tire immediately shredded and damaged the rim and the tires on both axles around it. Also damaged area under wheel as well as fender. Carlisle was contacted and denied any warranty as tires were 2 years old in april and this happened in july. They refused to accept any responsibility for high failure rate of rv trailer tires.
Tl*the contact owns 2005 keystone raptor trailer with mission tires size st2257515. While driving 65 MPH she experienced blow outs on the two front and rear tires. There was no sign of wear and tear. The tires were replaced with the same brand and size. The engine size, number of cylinders, power train, and fuel system information was not applicable. The failure mileage was 2,500.
I have a 2005 keystone raptor toy hauler trailer (3612ds) with 15" mission "d" rated tires on them. I have had 4 blowouts in the last 6 months. The tires blowouts have caused damage to the under-carriage of my trailer. Two of the blowouts occurred on one trip while I was not carrying any cargo in the rear at all. The other two times were while I was carrying two full size quads (thus, the weight was not an issue). These tires are junk and should not be allowed on larger rigs. Large rigs should be mandated to have 16" steel belted, commercial tires. These tire blowouts could cause serious injuries or even death.
The unit I purchased from orangewood rv in surprise, az. Last year,was defective and caused considerable damage to our tow vehicle and unit. This was caused as a direct result of a manufacturer defect in the 3 axles on the right/passenger side of our raptor-model, were installed, 2 1/2 inches off-center, which created damage to vehicle, as the rear end of the unit was over the traffic line, at times as much as 8-12 inches, and sustained damage to the roof and was an excessive strain and damage to the tow vehicle, that it required extensive repair and improvements, as they fraudulently LED me to believe, I could tow the vehicle safely, with the vehicle I owned, without any modifications or improvements necessary, which was not true, as I soon learned. All of this combined, resulted in over $25,000.00 in damages to the unit it's self and the tow vehicle. I wonder how many other units came out of the factory in the same deplorable shape??? R.g. Marks.
