WHAT ONE COSTS
—price not published

The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap — treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~11,473 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 10,139 lb + fresh water (64 gal, full) 534 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around12,750 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)14,045 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,314 lb (20%)
Cargo capacity3,906 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 21 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin — per model year, because the 290RLT's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

FINDING ONE

Findable — a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Keystone is a volume manufacturer; 12 years out of production. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

Triple-slide rear-living plan on the short 32 ft chassis - a lot of living room for the length.
