Hi! My family bought this camper a few days ago! And we absolutely love it!!! This camper is absolutely amazing and it’s so cool to see it be made!!! My brother and I love the bunkhouse and my mom loves the shower and space! And my dad loves it too! Thank you for building something that’s the perfect size for my family!
Hi Ron! To my understanding, the manufacturing process is nearly the same. But the differences simply lie in the size and floorplan changes. Here's our full breakdown on the Cougar Sport's manufacturing process: blog.campingworld.com/find-your-rv/how-the-keystone-cougar-sport-is-made/ Hope that helps! - Tucker Ballister
I’m only concerned as to why these two floor plans offer no zero degree insulation certification, as are every other Cougar 5th wheels. I see no Mylar silver bubble foam, nor ANY insulation in the roof! Honestly, if you don’t offer it, I am concerned without even tank heaters, I guy is in huge trouble in Sept-Mar/April. Just running a heater at 70+ degrees for all heat, with no insulation, is an absolute deal breaker. Please tell me if the video skipped any insulation besides coroplast. Send me a message
Hi Tom! I just reached out to the manufacturer with your question and here's their reply: "As far as insulation and cold weather protection are concerned, the things left out of the Cougar Sport compared to the Cougar HT series are the 12-volt tank heaters and the reflective foil used in the underbelly, cap, and roof. All of the polystyrene and fiberglass insulation used in normal construction exists in the Cougar Sport. While not rated for 0-degree camping, the Cougar Sport does support extended-season camping." From seeing the Cougar Sport manufacturing plant in person, I can also attest to the fact that insulation is added to the floor before it's finished. Here's our article detailing the complete process from start to finish: blog.campingworld.com/find-your-rv/how-the-keystone-cougar-sport-is-made/ Hope that helps, but let us know if you have any follow up questions! - Tucker Ballister
@@campingworld Thank you Tucker. Wow, thank you for following up!! Well, I’m not sure if the bubble wrap is that thick makes it Zero Rated. But the lack of 12v heaters certainly does. I’m sure cost savings are paramount, but a bit short sided, in my opinion.
Tankless models are definitely more common as a standard feature than they were even a few years ago. What are your thoughts on the tankless versus traditional water heater debate?
Hey Mike! You might be interested in some of the Eddie Bauer units that come with an upgraded oven. Here's an article on the different Eddie Bauer RVs and their features: blog.campingworld.com/find-your-rv/eddie-bauer-rvs/ Let us know if you have any questions! - Tucker Ballister

I’m hoping that mini split efficiency units work there way into the cooling units for solar and generator futures.
Awesome!! Love it!!
How about the 2100RK Manufacturing?

I actually like both of the sport models... but no azdel walls to match the waterproof hyperdeck floors?

Manufacturers are dropping tankless water heaters into a lot of their mid-priced RV's, not sure why this guy thinks it's such a big deal.

Should have a real oven in it not that short one that doesn't heat evenly.
