01 What makes it unique

The 385BR is the flexible one. Its defining feature is a middle bonus room that can be an office, a guest room, a craft room or a hangout — a hide-a-bed sofa rides on a slide to free up floor, and a desk is built in for working on the road — with a loft above it for still more sleeping space. The living area up front adds a second hide-a-bed, power theater seating, a fireplace and a 50-inch TV, and the front king bedroom has storage underneath; the galley island carries a countertop extension, and an outdoor kitchen and a MORryde Solid Step round out the exterior. It sleeps ten on four slide-outs in a 40-foot-9-inch body, on 7,000-pound Dexter Gladiator axles, a MORryde CRE-3000 suspension, Ground Control six-point electric auto-leveling and a 12-inch I-beam.

Published figures put the dry weight at 13,794 pounds and the dry pin at 2,685, and adding the 2,891-pound cargo capacity gives a 16,685-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 $113,100 — the highest of the profiled plans, with street pricing below placard — the 385BR is the High Country for buyers who want a genuine bonus room and outdoor kitchen without stepping up to the full-size Montana, towed behind a properly rated three-quarter-ton or one-ton truck.

Verified specs, drawn to scale

Original graphics built from this floorplan’s own verified figures.

Loaded weight budget

Drawn from this page’s published figures. The bar runs from empty to GVWR: the dark band is dry weight, the light band is everything you are allowed to add — water, propane, batteries and gear all come out of it.

Overall length and height are drawn true to scale from the published figures, no exterior width is published for this plan, so no end view is drawn. Axle count is as published; axle position, wheel size and the nose profile are schematic. This is a size drawing, not a floorplan, and not a claim about body shape.

Published tank capacities on one scale. A full fresh tank is about 626 lbs of water — roughly 22% of this plan’s 2,891 lb cargo capacity, before you load anything else.

These graphics are generated from the same verified record that builds the table above, and are published under this site’s own licence — nothing here is traced from, or derived from, a manufacturer drawing or photo. Where a figure is not published for this plan, the graphic that would need it is omitted rather than estimated. The full record is in the published dataset.

What it takes to tow this

Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.

Minimum tow rating your vehicle needs16,685 lb
Published dry pin weight2,685 lb
Loaded pin weight, typical range2,685–4,171 lb
Minimum in-bed fifth-wheel hitch capacity16,685 lb towed / 4,171 lb pin
The pin weight above is dry. It is the figure the manufacturer publishes for an empty trailer. Loaded — with water, propane, batteries and your gear — it runs higher, which is why the range row uses loaded weight. Sizing your truck off the dry number under-budgets your payload.
The arithmetic that actually binds. Open your driver’s door and read the payload figure on the yellow-and-white sticker — that number is specific to your truck as built. Subtract from it: loaded pin weight (use the range above), every passenger, everything in the bed and cab. What is left is your margin. Payload, not tow rating, is what most half-ton owners run out of first.

We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded pin percentages are industry convention for fifth wheels (15–25% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — read the rating stamped on your hitch. On this plan the convention band’s low end fell below the published dry figure, so the range starts at the published dry weight instead — 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 385BR on this page is highlighted. The full lineup, including the catalogued plans, is on the line hub.

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 What owners & reviewers report

06 Loading it for a trip

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 75-gallon fresh tank is roughly 22% of the 2,891-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 385BR with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry pin weight of 2,685 pounds is 19% of this floorplan’s 13,794-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 16,685-pound GVWR the 385BR is towing 2,891 pounds more than its 13,794-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.

07 Where this floorplan sits

Ranked by GVWR, the 385BR sits 5 of 6 in the Montana High Country line: 16,685 pounds against a line that runs from 15,203 to 16,780 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.

Either side of it in the same line: Montana High Country 351BH is 30 pounds lighter at 16,655 lb GVWR; and Montana High Country 373RD is 95 pounds heavier at 16,780 lb GVWR.

Against the 385BR: the Columbus 388FKH is 2 ft longer; the Puma Mesa 388FKH is 2 ft longer; the Montana 3231CK is 5 lb lighter and 3 ft shorter and sleeps 6 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.

08 Common questions about the 385BR

How much does the 385BR weigh?

It leaves the factory at 13,794 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 16,685 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.

How much can the 385BR carry?

Cargo carrying capacity is 2,891 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 75-gallon fresh tank uses about 626 pounds of that.

What is the pin weight of the 385BR?

The published dry pin weight is 2,685 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.

What size tow vehicle does the 385BR need?

Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 16,685 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.

How many people does the 385BR sleep?

It is rated to sleep 10. Rated sleeping positions include convertible furniture, so count the beds against how you actually travel rather than against the number.

What are the tank capacities on the 385BR?

Fresh 75 gallons, grey 87 gallons, black 48 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.

How long is the 385BR?

Exterior length is 40' 9". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.

Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 16 of them for the 385BR. 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.

11 NHTSA safety record

This floorplan belongs to the Montana High Country line, and NHTSA holds 10 recall campaigns and 14 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.

What to look at on a used one. Across the 14 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are unknown or other (36%), equipment (14%) and structure (14%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.

Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Montana High Country line page.
