Hey guys. Today we are doing a walkthrough of a beautiful fifth wheel, it is a 2020
Keystone Sprinter Campfire 32 FWBH. That was a mouthful. Let's just take you along for the tour.
(music)
All right guys, so we're gonna start with the outside tour. I am here with my awesome friend, Jess.
She is the owner of the camper, so she's going to be able to actually tell us what's up.
If you want to see our camper, we will link that video up here so you can check that out. And at the end of
the video we are going to compare the two fifth wheels, just in case you have no idea what type of
fifth wheel or RV to get before you go camping. So let's just get started, right? -Sounds good. -All right.
So this is our outdoor kitchen. This was one of our must-haves. We got our stove top there two burners.
We'll see what's inside the fridge and it's empty. -No beer to be had right now.
No it's gone. So I think a lot of people are like outdoor kitchen or no outdoor kitchen?
Have you been using it to its full potential. -The great thing about the outdoor kitchen is we go camping
so that we can be outside. So being able to cook outside just makes it that much more worthwhile.
(laughing)
Yes, thank you. -I got it.
So this is a water hookup. We have no idea how to get water out of it so.
If you have any idea put it in the comments we'd appreciate it. -So what is this do-hickey, what do
we got here? These are the.. this is the switch for the electronic jacks down below to stabilize the camper.
Yeah um there's no ladder with this RV so if you need access to the roof, gotta get your own
ladder and hope that you don't mess up anything when you're uh pushing it up against the camper.
You gotta get the rock climbing gear. -Yep, but what we did get included when we got this camper was
the slide toppers. -And you got them included? -My husband is a very very tough negotiator so we
got the slide toppers included and we got the B&W hitch included. -If you guys want some other
information when it comes to what to know before buying an RV, just like we were talking about, then
check out this video. Definitely hit that up before you head to the dealership or anything like that
because we're bringing you more information. So six gallon electric, gas water heater, awesome. And then
Keystone does keep it really simple with all the stuff on the outside. We have the black tank flush
and your hookups for your water and everything is right in this little box here.
City water connection, very easy it looks like to switch from city to like dry camping I would think.
We're not bringing you one outside shower but two. Help me. All right so we have a really
deep pass-through, all the way to the other side. Lots of storage. And guys this is an RV meant for a
big family so lots of stuff. You have room for all your stuff, for all your kids. I mean they're just
showing you example of what it looks like. Guys something else we need to talk about is this RV
comes with the thermal package. It's got the heated underbelly, it's got the insulation underneath.
It has um the furnace that heats the underbelly so really awesome. -Propane tank. Man this is nice
because you can switch it to only use one tank at a time so that you're not going to run out
of propane. If you run out of one tank you're like oh wait we can switch to the other tank.
That's a nice feature to have. So this is the only storage space that you actually have to hook it
fast on this camper. The rest of the uh doors for all of the storage are magnetic.
So, no hooking required and no worrying about them whacking you on the head. So let's take a look at
what we got here guys. We have extra lighting for when you're out here at night. This is going to
control your front landing gear. So when it's time to disconnect from the truck, this is where you're
going to retract and extend. And we're also prepped for solar. Keystone RV stepping it up look at that.
Yep she's deep. Love the storage.
Okay, I think we're ready for the best part is to check out the inside. I know you guys all have been waiting so let's do it right?
Woo! Wow this kitchen is huge. -I love this kitchen. -I had no idea it was this big from the outside, look at
this thing. -We got a nice peninsula here. Got our.. a big sink. -Wow. -Do lots of dishes and lots of space
to store them as they're drying and then if you're making dinner, just move that on down there and you
got lots of room to prep for dinner. Let's take a look at all the features that this kitchen has to offer.
Yeah show me what you like and don't like about this. -So this is the standard, camper, fridge freezer.
Lots of storage, there we don't really freeze too much stuff to take camping but..
Do you feel like you have enough space for everything in there? -Absolutely. -So let's jump into like some
of this kitchen storage. -All right, so we have the drawers. Lots of utensils in here. And another tip,
if you have your camper winterized like we do currently, irish spring soap and dryer sheets.
That's what keeps the mice away, we have not had a problem. -You don't have to have a cat.
Wow guys look at.. oh man that's.. -All right, Keystone, what were you thinking here?
Look at that it, hits the slide. We gotta we gotta work on that for the 2022 models because I'm sure
the 2021 models are out now. -Yeah so that's not cool. -That's not cool, no. -So yeah look at
all your cast iron and stuff could fit in there. -Absolutely. -That's really awesome.
Lots of room for um food, it's very deep. A lot of the other appliances that we like to use we store in this..
this cabinet here. -Nice. -Cookie sheets, cutting boards and it is a pass-through so.
Having breakfast in the morning with the whole family is just like you could see everybody.
Everyone's out like just hanging out like this is a really nice, open floor plan. -It is definitely perfect for a family.
All your basics that usually come with most RVs you have, you know, a microwave,
your three burner range oven which, that's really nice cover there and wow, you keep it so nice and clean Jess. -I try.
And the oven, this is all just like perfect. Perfect for camping trips. This is so nice.
We got rope lights underneath here and that was a standard installation feature.
I need to know does this become a bed? -It does. -Pretty comfy too I'll be honest. -Really? -It is these uh..
these cushions here that we're sitting on and sitting against they become the bed mattress.
And it's pretty comfy. -Do you guys feel like you really use the dinette a lot or do you wish this
could have been like more couch space or? -No, we definitely as a family of five, three young kids,
we use this all the time. The booth dinette. It is comfy, it turns into a bed, and it is totally usable.
That's nice. -This is a full-sized, pull-out bed, which we utilize a lot because my three kids like
to watch tv to go to sleep. And we currently do not have the bunk room set up for that
so they all hang out here and they all fit so lots of room.
All right, so we have the entertainment system here.
Yeah and this is like a sound bar? -It is a sound bar and the cool thing about this sound
bar is that you can play music from the TV. And it has some options that you can make the music play
outside too. And if you do decide to purchase this model, the cool thing about this model
is that, under here, there is an outlet in here if you decided to take these cabinets out and
install a fireplace. It's already hooked up for that. -Wow we are rigged for a fireplace.
So we're about to go in the bunk house but something I love about this is the fact that
it's like a residential like door like your kids could be doing their own thing, hanging
out. And you know, mom and dad can have happy hour and I just love how it's just like a normal door.
That's great. -Gotta show you something very important here with this door and lots of
crazy kids running in and out. Bam. You can make a big hole in the wall if you're not careful.
You put this in? -I did, we put it they're just adhesive. -Okay so guys this does not come
with the RV but really important to have, I'm thinking for a lot of models so,
we will put a link in the description for this where you can get on amazon.
Whoa, we are in the bunk house. This is huge. So this is awesome you could sleep up to what three adults actually
if you wanted. -Three definitely, three full-sized, grown adults will fit in here no problem and
then if you have little ones you could, you could probably get five kids in here no problem. -Easy.
You got a bed up here. We have a bed up top and then this will fold up and then you have a couch here.
Jack knife couch. -And look a set up for a TV. You can put lots of TVs in this RV.
All right, we had to come down here to see why is the electrical breaker box in the kids bedroom? -Good question but there it be.
So breaker box is in the kids room so you could just be like 'hey, reset the 50 amp, junior'.
Sometimes it becomes a toy for adults because we use it so much but we don't want it to be.
Holy cow. -Yes, very very nice when you're trying to get the kids ready in the morning and you're
yelling at them to brush their teeth. -How is one supposed to get that vent open up there?
Um. -When someone, you know uses a bathroom and you need a vent? -You, you find the tall friend.
I don't think I can even reach this. -Stand on the toilet.
We got a light. -There's a light.
I'm gonna put a hole through the toilet.
It's too late.
Let us know in the comments below this video if you have this model or a similar model,
what do you do about the really tall vent on the ceiling?
Here we are at the control panel. We have some extra hooks installed here and then this is a cool little remote we have.
This was standard with the camper. We are able to turn the lights on and off outside.
We can extend the awning or bring it back in. We can put the rear stabilizers down.
We can open ,or close all of the slides just with this remote. -That is cool. -That's a plus right there.
Let's go into the bathroom. -Come on. We'll see if this vent's easier.
Check this out, walk-through bathroom. -Hey guys. -Hey fancy seeing you here. -What's up?
And then these shut nice for when you're traveling. You want to make sure you have this nice and tight so that you don't
break the glass doors. We have the medicine cabinet. We also have some towel storage here.
Even more room for more storage. I know that's a lot of, that's a big
big tipping point for people when they're buying their campers is how much storage do I have?
What I don't like about this bathroom is like how little sink space you have.
Well you have to remember we have that second half bath. So there's only really two people and
then we have the kids doing their thing in the other one so. -That's true.
So let's check out the bedroom right, we got one more room. -Last but not least.
Look at this bed sheet. So I love the extra lights in here and once again the extra storage above here.
Um, the one cool thing about this model is that, if you wanted to install a second air conditioner, this whole thing comes
out and there's the hookup for it to be installed. We have the mattress that did come with the camper
however everybody knows they are not the most comfy? -How could you say such a thing?
So what we did was, we got a mattress memory foam topper from Amazon and it is nice and squishy.
So we will also put the link to this mattress foam l topper in the description, uh for Amazon, because
a lot of people look to switch out their entire mattress but I think if you are doing some weekend
trips or seasonal, that having the foam topper is perfect. All right I think it's time to sit down
and compare this fifth wheel with the fifth wheel we have. So let's pop on over and have a little
chit chat with you guys, here we go.
Okay so that was like really fun being able to walk through
a different brand and design of a fifth wheel and I think Renee and I can both agree on, we usually are
always walking through Grand Design. It seems to be Grand Design everything. First time stepping into
a Keystone, we noticed some pros and cons right off the bat. Okay one of the things I really liked
during the tour was that remote, that controls the function of the camper and it also controls
the sides, that's a big one. -So awesome. That really made it super easy knowing that you could slide
your slides in wherever you are or turn off the lights. -I also thought the booth dinette was
really really nice. Not just because you have like extra storage and it's comfortable for everyone
to sit and have dinner but also the fact that it folds down into a bed. -That is super cool and
one thing I like about the dinette booth style is that, you know, you can have a bunch of kids, a bunch
of people pile in there and then you know that it's going to be easy clean up. You usually just
give a wipe down to the seats. And then like Renee was saying, if you want to actually make more room
for you to have more sleeping space, really simple, just fold it down and bam, you're ready to go.
One thing that stood out to me is the sound bar. That thing is so sweet to have like a nice sound bar
included in your RV. Usually you have to buy those aftermarket and it's like a little pricey.
I like my cinematic theater movie experiences. So let's talk about some of the cons that we noticed
with Keystone. One of the things that stood out to us right away was the pantry doors.
It kind of bothered me that, that wasn't addressed, you know, when they were coming up the floor plan and coming
up with the structure. -Totally. -The fact that, that door hits against the slide, when you have to go
in the pantry, and I'm sure you have to go in and out of the pantry like multiple times. -Yeah.
So that would bug me after a while. -Yeah. -And you're excited to get a snack and you're just like, okay calm down.
Don't open it all the way. -I don't know you just kind of got stuck there and then it feels enclosed
and tighter and it just didn't feel like as much space to work with. Another con, that we noticed,
was the actual breaker box. Like what was Keystone going for there by putting the breaker box where
it's easily accessible to children. I just don't like that it's in the kids room. -Yeah I like it
up out of like arm's reach to only accessible the people that actually need to be accessing it.
Like I imagine a toddler going in there and just like, going haywire. -Yeah and that door is not super
difficult to open to the breaker box. -It's not. -So I feel like that could become a toy very easily to be
like flipping switches on and off. Something else that really bothered me that I'm still wondering,
how does it work, is the vent in the bathroom. -Oh my goodness, yeah, what was up with that?
It's like, so high in the air. -Oh my goodness, I tried to get a good camera angle on it to show some depth on
the shot but like, Renee's pretty tall. I mean, we're both like 5'9" 5'10"ish and she was still
having a hard time reaching that in the bathroom. -Yeah, I understand you can get like a broom to hit
the button but you have to open the vent. -Exactly there's like a twist knob up there and unless you
can access it, I don't really see the purpose of having a vent at all. -You have to vent the bathroom.
And then one of the last cons that we wanted to touch on is we noticed there wasn't as much
storage as we were thinking there might be for a big family fifth wheel. -Yeah, I think when you are
part-timing, you almost want more storage inside because there's a lot of things you want to store
for your trips that you just want to keep out of the way and just ready to go, so it's not
all just laying out. -Exactly, and where we notice most of that storage coming to place that we're
talking about is through the actual pass-through storage there. It was kind of crammed like one side
would be maybe two feet tall and then like very small width, but then you'd walk on the
other side and it would open up, so it was kind of like a weird like going from small to large.
And it just wasn't as much pass-through storage as we were hoping to see. So if you guys haven't been
familiar with what model RV we are living in, we're living in a 2019 Grand Design Solitude S-Class
2930RL which means rear living. -It is really hard to compare the model we looked at to our model.
And I did some research online. A 2021 Keystone RV model that we walked through is average MRSP
of like $40,000 right now. And then, holy cow, the model we have the 2021 is an average of $80,000.
I am not saying that you shouldn't go for Keystone RV because, if you are part-timing or weekend
camping in the summer I think having that bunk house that we just looked at is perfect. -Absolutely.
Um we would just not choose to full-time RV in a Keystone. -Totally. With the Grand Design, it's a lot
more conducive to living full-time in the unit. I mean, there's a lot more detail, it's a little bit
better build. You can just kind of get a feeling as soon as you walk through the door of the Grand
Design that it's just more structurally intact like what Renee was saying so, I think overall the
amenities and the fixtures within the Grand Design are pretty up to par for full-time RV living.
So, there is a huge difference when it comes to price, but what you have to take in account is that the
Grand Design model that we have, comes with the TV in the bedroom, it comes with the fireplace.
So there's a lot of things already included. -Correct. -In which, the Keystone RV that we walked through, it
was just prepped and rigged for all these things but they weren't included so. -Absolutely. -Things add up quick.
So if you guys are looking for a little bit more details on the current model we're living in,
no need of fear, we got plenty of details coming your way, check out this video right here.

And until next week guys, we'll catch you later. It's HappilyEverHanks checking out. -See you guys. -Bye.
