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.

Towing it

Tow rating needed16,685 lb
Published dry pin weight2,685 lb
Loaded pin weight, rule of thumb2,685–4,171 lb
In-bed fifth-wheel hitch rating needed16,685 lb towed / 4,171 lb pin
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger and the bed and cab load from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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 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.

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), 22% of the 385BR’s 2,891 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,266 lb (227 lb per rated berth). Across 6 Montana High Country floorplans the water share runs 17% to 28%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Montana High Country 377FL at 20% and Montana High Country 381TB at 28%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
