01 What makes it unique
The 295RL is the entry point to Montana High Country and the plan built for two. A rear living area with a hide-a-bed sofa sits behind a walk-around kitchen island, with a king bedroom up front, on three slide-outs in a body held to just 34 feet. What sets it apart is payload: its 3,608-pound cargo capacity is the highest of any profiled High Country, so a couple can load water, gear and a generator and still stay under weight. It carries the full line package — a GE 18-cubic-foot residential refrigerator with a 2,000-watt inverter, a three-burner range, a 5,000-BTU fireplace and a central vacuum — on 7,000-pound Dexter Gladiator axles with a MORryde CRE-3000 suspension and Ground Control four-point electric auto-leveling.
Published figures put the dry weight at 11,595 pounds and the dry pin at 2,455 — the lightest pin in the profiled range — and adding the 3,608-pound cargo capacity gives a 15,203-pound GVWR. A single 15,000-BTU Coleman Mach Quiet Series air conditioner with a heat pump, a 35,000-BTU furnace, an on-demand tankless water heater and 75/87/48-gallon fresh/grey/black tanks are standard. At a starting MSRP around $91,500 — street pricing runs below placard — the 295RL is the High Country for buyers who want the luxury chassis and residential kitchen in the shortest, most maneuverable body, comfortably within reach of a well-rated three-quarter-ton truck and the lighter end of the half-ton-plus range.

Towing it
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.
03 The Montana High Country floorplan family
Montana High Country is Keystone's lighter luxury fifth wheel, below the full-size Montana and cross-shopped against Grand Design's Reflection and Solitude, Forest River's Cedar Creek and Sabre, Alliance's Avenue and Jayco's Pinnacle. The 2026 line runs to eleven floorplans; the six broadest-appeal layouts are profiled in full, and the 295RL on this page is highlighted. The full lineup, including the catalogued plans, is on the line hub.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 295RL | 34 ft | 6 | Rear living, kitchen island, high payload |
| 351BH | 39 ft | 8 | Bunkhouse, triple slides |
| 385BR | 40 ft | 10 | Mid bonus room, loft, outdoor kitchen |
| 373RD | 41 ft | 8 | Elevated rear den, fireplace, king bed |
| 377FL | 41 ft | 10 | Front living, four slides |
| 381TB | 42 ft | 10 | Two full baths, two bedrooms, loft |
Montana High Country is Keystone's lighter, lower-profile luxury fifth wheel, positioned just below the full-size wide-body Montana on a standard-width chassis. The 2026 line runs to eleven floorplans; the six broadest-appeal layouts are profiled here in full and the rest are catalogued on the hub. Every High Country rides on 7,000-pound Dexter Gladiator axles with Nev-R-Adjust brakes, a MORryde CRE-3000 rubberized suspension and rubber pin box, and 16-inch load-range-H tires, with Ground Control electric auto-leveling (four-point on the smaller plans, six-point on the larger), a MaxTurn front cap with KeyShield paint, an Alpha seamless walkable TPO roof, 2-inch composite-backed fiberglass walls and a Four Seasons Living enclosed heated underbelly. The residential package is standard: a GE 18-cubic-foot refrigerator with a 2,000-watt inverter, a three-burner range, a 15,000-BTU Coleman Mach Quiet Series air conditioner with heat pump, a 35,000-BTU furnace, an on-demand tankless water heater, a central vacuum, a 5,000-BTU fireplace and a king bed. Dry weight and CCC are published figures and GVWR is shown as their sum; real loaded pin weights run higher — always weigh the loaded coach and confirm against your truck's payload and rear-axle ratings.
04 Notes on this floorplan
Rear living, island kitchen
A windowed rear lounge with a hide-a-bed sofa behind a walk-around island, king bed up front — the couples’ layout in the shortest body.
Highest payload in the range
Its 3,608-pound cargo capacity tops every profiled High Country — the plan with the most room for water, gear and a generator before GVWR.
Shortest, lightest, lightest pin
At 34 feet, an 11,595-pound dry weight and a 2,455-pound pin, it is the most maneuverable and truck-friendly plan in the line.
Confirm your truck's ratings
A 15,203-pound-GVWR fifth wheel — verify a well-rated three-quarter-ton (or heavy half-ton-plus) truck's payload and rear-axle rating against the loaded pin.
05 How it compares
Grand Design’s lighter luxury rear-living fifth wheel — the direct standard-width cross-shop.
Keystone’s own mid-tier fifth wheel, a step below High Country on price and finish.
The elevated rear-den 373RD — longer, a separated rear living room and a fireplace.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 75-gallon fresh tank is about 626 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 17% of the 295RL’s 3,608 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,982 lb (497 lb per rated berth). Across 6 Montana High Country floorplans the water share runs 17% to 28%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Montana High Country 373RD at 19%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
