I'd seal that seam up with one of the tapes mentioned here. FWIW, on our 1991 Tioga, we had the entire EPDM roof replaced, and after the old roof was striped off, our RV mechanic glued a 1/8" masonite type wood over the existing wood surface, as there were a few spots that water had gotten into...

Just to clarify - the Trailer Tow Package is NOT the Heavy Duty Payload Package (HDPP) - that's not available with that engine/wheelbase combo.

We really liked the 22RBSWE we looked at a week ago - but did not make an offer as the electronics concerned me as a future maintenance issue - we don't need electric heated theater seating for a trailer we might use 20-25 days per year. Will focus on a similar late model used, 2018-2019...

I see these are all parent company Thor. Other than holding and water tanks capacity, what are the main differences? I like that 22 RBS floorplan. Are the Cruisers made more cheaply? Thank you.

Also - look for another new topic as I ask about some similar trailers to that Cougar... to be continued in a new thread..... :)

Update - We decided to pass on this particular trailer, thanks for all your posts and thoughts. We really like the floorplan, construction seems to be well built, and this trailer is practically new. However, we don't expect to use whatever trailer we buy that much, and this trailer seems like...

Thanks for the replies. I had looked briefly at the Keystone Cougar website, and saw that these trailers have only a small handful of options, most desirable items are standard. I'm looking forward to spending more time with the owners, and really having them show us how everything works. Love...

Ok, We found an almost new 2021 22RBSWE Cougar for sale in our area - went and looked at it, and it's more hi-tech than we expected. Does anyone here have experience with the the factory installed 200 SolarFlex, or one of the upgraded models? We're slightly intimidated with the technology, and...

all good info to know - after 24 years of owning a class C RV, different info to learn about travel trailers. thank you.

From everything I'm seeing, the new truck I'm looking at with the HDPP will give me plenty of payload. Empty trailer weight 5600#, tongue 580#. Thank you.

Does a trailers listed tongue weight include the weight of the 2 batteries up front that come standard with the trailer? Does it add in the weight of the propane inside of the 2 30# tanks? What about the weight of the electric jack as standard equipment? Thanks very much.

I had seen another persons post about this product years ago - Bio Kleen RV Roof Cleaner and Protectant. Once we had a new EPDM roof installed, I used it at least once each year to give our roof a good cleaning and protection from sun. Did not take a lot to clean the rubber roof, worked about a...

Martian, I see you have a Ram 1500, what type of payload does that have? Do you know what your actual payload weighs? There have been many replies to my posts saying how I need a 3/4 ton, which we really don't want. Nearly all of our miles in our new truck (not yet ordered, and no trailer...

Now that our class C is gone, and we've seen the prices on the Outdoor RV with the on-board propane generator, I'm looking at these Keystone Cougar models - we like the floorplan of the 22 RBS, and there's also the 22 RBSWE, which is the western model (I think). Was looking for some input on...

The F-150 with Max towing and HDPP will be WAY more than capable for the trailers we're looking at. 90% (or so) of my truck miles will be without a trailer, I just don't want or need a 3/4 ton as my primary vehicle. I appreciate the concerns tho :) I'll keep searching for used, but in no rush -...
