GVWR (the sticker maximum)12,690 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,221 lb (20%)
Cargo capacity3,130 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 23 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 298RLS's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

FINDING ONE

Patient search: weeks of watching, and probably some travel. Why: Keystone is a volume manufacturer; only 2 model years; 20 years out of production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

Early rear-living plan, before Keystone moved the line onto the 16-inch E-rated chassis. GVWR is shipping weight plus carrying capacity, not a published figure.
