01 What makes it unique
The 351BH is the shorter of the two High Country bunkhouses and the more maneuverable family plan. It puts a rear bunk room with sleeping for the kids behind the main living area, a coffee station and an island kitchen amidships, and a king bedroom up front — on three slide-outs in a 39-foot body that sleeps eight. It runs the full luxury 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 six-point electric auto-leveling, on the 12-inch I-beam used across the larger plans.
Published figures put the dry weight at 13,278 pounds and the dry pin at 2,655, and adding the 3,377-pound cargo capacity gives a 16,655-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 $104,600, with street pricing below placard, the 351BH is the High Country for a family that wants bunks and a private front bedroom in the shortest bunkhouse body — three-quarter-ton or one-ton territory once loaded.

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 351BH 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 bunk room, triple slides
A dedicated rear bunk room for the kids behind the living area, with a private king bedroom up front — the compact family layout.
Shorter of two bunkhouses
At 39 feet and three slides it is more maneuverable than the four-slide 389BH while still sleeping eight.
Full luxury equipment
Carries the complete High Country standard list — GE 18-cu-ft fridge with inverter, six-point electric auto-leveling, central vacuum, tankless water.
Wants a three-quarter-ton+ truck
A 16,655-pound-GVWR bunkhouse — confirm a properly rated three-quarter-ton or one-ton truck's payload and rear-axle rating against the loaded pin.
05 How it compares
Grand Design’s family-oriented luxury fifth wheel in the same length class.
The four-slide 389BH bunkhouse — longer, more living space and a heavier ten-berth capacity.
The rear-living 295RL — shorter, lighter and a couples’ plan rather than a bunkhouse.
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), 19% of the 351BH’s 3,377 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,752 lb (344 lb per rated berth). Across 6 Montana High Country floorplans the water share runs 17% to 28%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Montana High Country 373RD at 19% and Montana High Country 377FL at 20%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
