2026 Keystone Montana High Country295RL

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.

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.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 75-gallon fresh tank is roughly 17% of the 3,608-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 295RL with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry pin weight of 2,455 pounds is 21% of this floorplan’s 11,595-pound dry weight. Fifth-wheel pin weight rides in the bed of the truck, so it comes off payload rather than off tow rating — and it rises with the trailer as you load it, not in proportion to what you put over the axles.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 15,203-pound GVWR the 295RL is towing 3,608 pounds more than its 11,595-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 75 gallons of fresh against 87 grey and 48 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Of the 6 Montana High Country floorplans profiled here, the 295RL is the lightest by GVWR at 15,203 pounds — the entry point to the line and the one most likely to suit a vehicle already at its limit.

Either side of it in the same line: Montana High Country 381TB is 1,415 pounds heavier at 16,618 lb GVWR.

Against the 295RL: the Eagle 355MBQS is 3 lb lighter and 8 ft longer and sleeps 4 more; the Sabre 36FLX is 100 lb heavier and 7 ft longer and sleeps 4 more; the Arctic Wolf 38LEAH.G is 132 lb heavier and 10 ft longer and sleeps 2 fewer. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest fifth wheels from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Montana High Country floorplans profiled here run 11,595 to 14,364 pounds dry and 34 to 42 feet of exterior length across 6 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Montana High Country line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 16 of them for the 295RL. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: exterior width, interior height. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (95%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
