That is a good price, did you buy direct from the factory? I Googled it and it is nice and light, only 1400 pin weight.

I searched about the entire US & found a good dealer willing to deal that does good volume with Keystone.

Yes the dry weight and pin weight are nice & light and the rig does not compormise the size or quality for weight. I've seen way too many light rigs have low roof height other shrunken features that are too much of a trade off. This brand seems just right and I did look at them locally but the local price was about 20% higher.

PM me if you want more detail on the dealer.

I just picked up my new trailer about 2 weeks ago so it's too late for me. I had looked in the US but the prices didn't seem to be that much of a difference when I took into account having to go and get it. I managed to get a "show price" that included a lot of free features.
