Ultimate Bunkhouse RV from Keystone Outback 340BH

what's going on guys so today we are out here at Ron Hoover RV and Marine in Rockport Texas we are taking a look at a Goliath of a towable travel trailer this is from Outback this is a really really cool floor plan especially if you have a larger family but they've done a lot of interesting things inside of here to be able to squeeze as much into this enormous floor plan as possible let's take a closer look hang tight I'll be right back [Music] okay so before we take a look at the numbers one unique feature that you see on this Keystone Outback that you may not see on some other travel trailers is the fact that it has a drop frame so it's got this lower section this is built on a BAL chassis so Bal is the frame manufactured as opposed to like Lippert and it's got a drop frame which is going to give you a lot of storage which we'll go over here in a little while but gross vehicle weight rating 11 000 pounds this thing's pretty dang heavy it's got a cargo capacity of 2060 pounds and it's rides on Twin 5100 pound axles and the dry weight on this unit is 8 880 pounds Towing recommendations uh you're going to put quite a bit of weight behind your vehicle this thing's really really long it's going to definitely be impacted by wind I would say a maxto three-quarter ton truck should probably be the perfect tow vehicle for this I would not ever put this behind a half ton truck it just would not be safe it wouldn't be fun you'd be white knuckling it the whole time any wind at all would bother you just yeah don't put something like this behind a truck even if you think you have the towing capacity even if you think you have the numbers to be able to handle it that's my opinion at least all right we're going to start off by taking a look at the inside of this then we'll come back out I love the fact that it has this Auto leveling system on a travel trailer that big battery bank right there but again we'll look at all this when we come back out not a huge fan of cable driven slides they have cable driven slides on all of the slides on this Keystone Outback 340 BH is the model number it's got 400 watts of solar on it and this has the Arctic barrier package all right let's step inside first of all I like the friction hinge door it's got the screenshot feature already in place which is basically something to help pull the screen door shut so it's not flopping open all right taking a look inside so it's gonna be a lot of individual areas to look at on this travel trailer because it's a bunk house you can see we're in the living room space right now really cool I love the color tones in here as well you have your Theater seating here nice color to it nice blackout blinds already in place to be able to get this thing nice and dark in the evenings or if you want to sleep in a little later so this unit is going to have two ACS that are ducted throughout huge Pantry space really cool kind of barn style door right here that slides in front of it a lot of shelves it would have been nice if they were adjustable shelves so if they put more shelf holders in there so you can adjust the spacing nice you actually have a televator in this unit as well which is kind of rare to see in travel trailers huge panoramic fireplace Jensen stereo system with Bluetooth your speakers are in the roof for the ceiling right here you have your compact microwave here as well it says it has two tons larger cooking surface I don't know if that's true or not a lot of space right here you have a power outlet above you don't so okay so maybe right here yep so this is where you put your coffee maker at least that's where I put my coffee maker I don't know where you'd put yours we have some storage here nice magnetic holds three burner cooktop good size oven drawer underneath for pans this unit has an MSRP a 65 528 dollars foreign up here furion vent Hood and drawers here for your silverware things like that more storage under here stainless steel sink nice upgraded faucet [Music] you have furion 12 volt electric refrigerator in here and your freezer nice decorative slide trim can we run this way you have your booth style dinette these seats flip up their storage underneath them and this also folds down so you can use it as a bed all right there's a little bit more storage you have quite a bit more storage good place to store just you know random stuff maybe extra blankets comforters things like that all right let's step into the bunk house so whenever you have a large family and you're looking for a bunk house this is a very important room to have and it's very important that it's configured properly so you have a love seat here which flips out into a bed and you have a bunk up here that locks out of the way and into place in case you have a TV going on and kids are just sitting here watching TV and then you have a elevated bunk bed as well with some stairs to get you up there nice Cabinetry storage here as well blackout blinds here it's ducted back here would be cool if they had a third AC option in the bunk house huge window in the back which is also your exit path and you might need to escape from the unit so you have room for two three four four kiddos back here to sleep it's a nice Punk house though definitely a lot of room all right let's work our way back up to the front all right stepping into the restroom only as one restroom a lot of countertop space here has a plastic sink medicine cabinet up here in the corner you have a good size shower it is definitely a good size shower really nice size ceiling Heights in here so you have plenty of room you could be probably upwards of seven feet tall and fit in here I don't think you'd have any problem squeezing in here even for tall folks porcelain foot flush toilet here's all your controls thermostat on demand hot water system okay stepping into the bedroom up front you can call this the master bedroom since it is a bunk house no room for a washer and dryer in this unit you have mirrors on your closet doors some hanging rods in there as well and more storage above the bed nice decorative wall there queen size bed under here is going to be passed through storage on the outside then you have some nightstands right here so you can plug stuff in and have a place to set it easily fit a CPAP in here as well plenty of room around the back of the bed spot to hang your TV here's your second air conditioning unit and your second thermostat and it's a real door not a sliding door to separate the areas very cool anyways let's hop outside and see what the outside is all about okay starting from the front working our way back got a three-year structural limited warranty on this unit again it has the Bal Auto leveling system spot for two thirty pound propane cans you have a big battery Bank up here as well dragonfly energy I'm not sure if these are lithium iron phosphate batteries or not then you have your power disconnect nice heavy duty baggage doors on here as well with slam latches got a good amount of basement storage of your Xantrex inverter over here plus you have a victron solar charge controller so you got a mixture of of different brands but overall it's a good setup over here you have a spot to be able to connect the TV outside if you want to bring a TV or a game outside you got one awning on this unit which spans over the slide out I kind of would have preferred a small awning here and another awning on that slide out so you have maximized coverage look for solid steps underneath this is a BAL frame the whole thing's Huck riveted together very very nice again all cable driven slides should have trailer king tires I believe yep does not have an upgraded suspension equalizer which I wish I did coming around back this is going to be nice I imagine this is going to be a huge outside kitchen space thank you nice thick door as well now that is an outside kitchen wax a microwave but you can always put a microwave right here this is what an outside kitchen should look like good size refrigerator sink two burner cooktop out here drawers cabinets I mean this is exactly what what I like when I see an outside kitchen very nice and then this gives you a lot of shade so while you're under here cooking you're covered which is really nice great job out here all right coming around back LED lighting full walk on roof with ladder in place required for a backup camera you have a four inch tubular bumper good place to store your sewer hose really cool looking setup you got two more slide outs on this side both are cable driven slides here probably have your water heater which is an on-demand water heater and then your water connection panel will be back here kind of like a fifth wheel where you'll have all your water connections but it's currently locked and then right here is the other side of your baggage door very cool what do you guys think of this unit this thing is absolutely enormous for sure for me I definitely want to have a truck that has at least I'm going to say probably 2500 to 3 000 pounds worth of cargo capacity because when it comes to actual hitch weight capacity in the back just like that Silverado that I reviewed the 2024 had 2 900 pounds worth of cargo capacity overall but 1800 pounds worth of hitch weight capacity and something like this is probably going to put about 1500 1600 pounds on the back of your truck you're going to want to have a nice firm suspension which a three-quarter ton will give you if you're going to haul something like this anyways please leave a comment below I'd love to know your thoughts guys if you haven't had a chance please take a moment subscribe to my channel give me a thumbs up and we'll talk to you again very soon foreign
