We are thinking about buying a 2019 Keystone Springdale. The dealer wants $13,900. That seems a little low. Not sure what it was when new. My question is should I jump on it or be cautious. That particular camper has good reviews. Love the floorplan. That's why I am looking for suggestions.

This one?
Looks like a good deal.

Yeah that's it. Pictures look good, but they only show what they want you to see. Going to go look at it this weekend.

I bought a 2019 260bh in February, so I’ve only had 6 months but it’s been problem free. Taking it on 5 trips so far. It had an msrp of 27k and we got it for 20k to give you an idea of pricing.

Buying a cheap travel trailer is like a craps shoot. You never know what you are going to get. Keystone/Dutchmen is among the worst. Do you feel lucky?

Remember cost of ownership involves more than the purchase price.

I wish you good luck and happy trails ahead!

It's all opinion and that's fine. Just like a good steak. You don't have to go to the special butcher market and pay 12x and much as a steak in a regular store to get a good one. I've had a Sprindale made by Ketystone and it was a fantastic camper. I would get another one. I have a Starcraft now, only 11k brand new and it is fantastic. I'm hooking it up tomorrow afternoon and heading out for a weekend at a beautiful lake to be close to my son to do some work on his car with him. One thing about the Springdales that I learned. When I saw someone with another one I would ask, They all had the same picture mounted to the wall near the dinette. Now I'm curious to see the pics of this one to see if it has the picture.

Some people can't afford these trailers!

A new 2121 in Portland Oregon has an MSRP of 29,032 and a "sale" price of 21,999

NADA for a 2019 shows a new retail of 31k and a low used value of 18,000 and an average retail of 22k - again here in Portland Oregon.

The west edition is built in Pendelton OR so shipping costs are low to Portland dealers.

Currently have a 2018 - 2020QB, Springdale & absolutely like it. Only improvement I've made is insulating all the storage areas. Along with changing the fresh water drain so it doesn't have a chance of "catching" on some of the trails - roads I tend to go on. For a unit of this price point I've found it to be satisfactorily built with only minor fit & finish issues. Yes I did buy this used at the end of 2021, but it has given me less issues than my 2016 X-Lite 5er that I bought new. But as mentioned everything is a crapshoot. I purposely sought out this model for the rear dinette. Just do a thorough ck-out. & roll the dice.
