2018 Keystone Passport 3220BH — Should You Buy One?

Typical asking price: $16,000–$24,000. There are 2 high-severity known issues you need to know before handing over a check.

Kestrel Take

The Keystone Passport is an entry-level bunkhouse that has sold in massive numbers — good parts availability, reasonable layout, honest price. Build quality is budget-tier. A well-maintained one is fine; a neglected one has had 7 years to develop problems.
