The fold out RV entrance stairs on our Cougar fifth wheel have never been the most rock solid things. They’ve always had a little bit of give and spring to them. It’s just the nature of fold out hinged RV steps. But, lately I’ve been noticing a little bit of extra sag to them. It’s … Read more
Why Install the Kit Our Keystone Cougar fifth wheel trailer didn’t come with any sort of easy winterizing tools with the exception of the water heater bypass valve. It didn’t concern me much as we are snowbird RV full-timers and usually blast off south before any very low temperatures occur. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case … Read more

The work to be done was an axle bearing inspection, clean and grease repack. Also new seals were to be installed and if necessary new bearings. While they were at it I instructed … Read more
One thing that was lacking in our 2011 Keystone Cougar Fifth Wheel was a place to put our shoes. Generally they get placed by the entrance door in a heap. The other day I was exploring the space under the kitchen counters and noticed a large void filled with nothing right next to the door. … Read more
Introduction Our 2011 Keystone Cougar 276RLSWE Fifth Wheel has a black chloroplast (plastic like material) layer attached to the bottom with many 3/8 nut headed self taping screws. Since I had to undo a fair amount of this material to complete a recent installation of a remote headphone jack I decided this would be a good time … Read more
