Our Keystone Cougar fifth wheel recently turned 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve always done a decent job of cleaning and maintaining my roof. Spending a lot of time on the rainy west coast, it is a priority to prevent leaks or else end up with a moldy, rotting camper. So. I was happy … Read more
This video details how I diagnosed and repaired an inoperative main slideout room on our 2011 Keystone Cougar.

First, I unscrewed … Read more
In this video, I attempt to install an aftermarket Lippert friction hinge onto my Keystone Cougar fifth-wheel trailer’s entrance door. Unfortunately, the hinge turns out to be incompatible with my particular Challenger brand model of door. I discover the Lippert hinge is a little smaller, so it won’t fit flush. Anyway, I was curious and … Read more
Recently I repaired my broken RV wireless remote control system by upgrading it to a newer generation called the Lippert Linc system. To do it I had to upgrade both the control board and the remote. My 2010 Keystone OEM wireless remote system failed when suddenly it would not retract things. The OEM wireless remote … Read more
