Expert Answers about Keystone Springdale Travel Trailer


  • Recommended Shock Absorbers For Trailer With Single 3" Diameter Axle
  • I have another option for you but the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Add-On Kit for Triple Axle Trailers - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb Axles # RM-2460-50 is an add-on for a tandem axle kit to add shocks to a triple axle trailer and will not work on a single axle trailer. Since there is not a Roadmaster Comfort Ride option for a single axle trailer I recommend the Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb (3") Axle # LC281281 which will fit your 3" axle perfectly. You...

  • How To Determine Fit of the Dometic Full-Timer RV Toilet
  • The Dometic Full-Timer RV Toilet part # DOM87FR is a great replacement option for any trailer. That said, toilets aren't make and model specific in regards to fit on a trailer. It may or may not require modifications to be used with a certain setup. If you know the model number of the toilet that it will be replacing that will give you the best idea of compatibility. That said, since most install in a similar fashion there should only be little modifications needed to make work if it is...

  • Slide Awning for 97" Wide Slide on Keystone Springdale Trailer
  • Since your slide is 97" wide we will want the Lippert # LCV000163289 Slide -Out Awning in White for slides measuring 92-97" wide. Order # LCV000168107 for Black. All the hardware you need is included. However, you will need some TRC # 362BT-18x1-50 butyl tape during the install. I have attached a video demonstration of the install.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2018 Keystone Springdale 2820BH
  • If the 690 lb tongue weight is the weight when the trailer is loaded then your current Centerline would work great. If that's an unloaded figure though you'd most likely be over capacity and it wouldn't be effective. The best solution would be the Reese Strait Line part # RP66084 which has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs and features best sway control at fighting sway before it starts.

  • Recommended Blue Ox Weight Distribution System for 5000 lb Travel Trailer
  • The 570 lb figure you mention is the dry tongue weight, but in order to choose the correct weight distribution system for your needs you'll need to determine the travel trailer's tongue weight when it's loaded up as it would be when you tow it, complete with gear, propane, water tanks, etc. You'll also want to add the weight of anything carried in the bed of the truck behind the rear axle to that figure, which is the amount of tongue weight you'll be asking your W/D system to handle. I'll...

  • Recommended Equalizer Upgrade for 2011 Keystone Springdale Travel Trailer
  • The best option for an equalizer upgrade on your 2011 Keystone Springdale is the one that matches the dimensions of your current equalizer. The # LC696740 measures 6" across, which is the most important measurement, and is 3-1/2" tall from the line between the center of the left and right eye. See the diagram below. If your measurements match the Road Armor, or are very similar, then this would be the best choice. If you have different measurements feel free to reach out with what you...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 27 Foot Travel Trailer with 6020 lb GVWR
  • Because travel trailers are very susceptible to trailer sway caused by crosswinds and oncoming or passing traffic, I'd urge you to choose a weight distribution system with a decent sway control component. Given the weights you mentioned, your fully loaded and ready to tow travel trailer could potentially have a tongue weight ranging from around 600-900 lbs. This is a pretty good educated guess, but it's not a bad idea to confirm that for yourself. I'll link to a help article that explains...

  • Recommendation for Switching from 14 Inch to 15 Inch Wheels on Keystone Springdale
  • Generally speaking, we recommend having at least 3 inches of clearance between the tire and the fender on your trailer with the suspension fully compressed. Since you found that you only have about 1-1/2 inches of clearance with the 205/75R15 tire mounted, your best option for being able to upgrade to a 15 inch wheel will be to first lift the trailer. If your Keystone Springdale currently has leaf springs below the axle, you may be able to use an Over-Under Conversion Kit. These kits...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch With Sway Control For Towing a 2021 Keystone Springdale 260BH
  • I recommend using the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System # RP66084 for towing your 2021 Keystone Springdale 260BH. This hitch is rated for tongue weights of 600-1,200lbs, your Springdale comes from the factory at 510lbs dry. Once propane a battery and your gear are added your tongue weight will likely become 800lbs. The maximum weight capacity of 12,000lbs is well below the the GVWR of 7,788lbs on your Springdale. This weight distribution system features a built in sway control to keep...

  • For your 2011 Keystone Springdale 295 with a 24" wide door and 32" tall entry height I recommend the MORryde StepAbove Fold-Down Steps for 23-3/4" to 26-1/4" RV Door Frames - 8" Drop # MR98RR which will fit perfectly and contacts the ground to make the step more stable and easier to use. I included a video of the # MR98RR for you to take a look at.

  • Powered A-Frame Trailer Jack To Replace Manual Model on a 2021 Springdale 1740RK Travel Trailer
  • Actually, the Ultra-Fab # UF38-944017 powered A-frame trailer jack is exactly what I'd recommend, for a few reasons: • The jack has a 5 year warranty, while a 1 year warranty is what you'll usually see. • The jack has a zerk fitting that makes lubricating the main screw very easy. • Rather than a specific emergency crank handle, the # UF38-944017 uses a 9/16 inch socket that can be purchased anywhere if it gets misplaced. Using a 3500 lb capacity jack for a travel trailer that will...

  • How To Transport 5 Bikes On A Travel Trailer
  • I have a solution for you, however, there are not any 5-bike carriers compatible with a travel trailer. I recommend going with Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches # S63381 and then using a different bike carrier for the remaining bike. For the remaining bike, you could use Surco 2 Bike Carrier Ladder Mount # SP501BR if your travel trailer has a ladder on the back. This clamps onto a ladder that has 1" tubing and can carry 1 or 2 bikes. If you do not have a ladder on the back...

  • How to Select the Correct Size Vinyl Trim Insert
  • The best way to select the correct size vinyl trim insert is to measure the trim insert you have now while flat, not the track. We don't really recommend measuring the track as they are not all a standard width. That said, we only offer vinyl trim inserts in 3/4" wide and 1" wide. It sounds like you will end up needing the 3/4" wide vinyl trim insert part # CAM25163 for 25' long or part # CAM25262 for 100' long. I have attached a list of all our vinyl trim insets for you as well.
