Can someone tell me what the diff is in the Keystone Carbon and Impact lines? I assume one has more "stuff" but it's hard to tell.

I have a Carbon 347, itโ€™s been pretty good. Came with auto leveling, too. Best feature, right after generator and air conditioner.

We did look at the raptors, my wife hated the colors inside as it was dark. Also I didn't feel the need for a side by side fridge, I still sit outside at the fire with my beer in a cooler.


Even with our side by side frig, I still keep my beer in a cooler also, frig can't compete with keeping beer as cold as cooler does!!

We bought a new Carbon 364 in August and have 15 nights in it so far with only very minor issues. Couldn't be happier with the purchase!

floor plans and main construction are the same all the way up their levels in keystone product. were on out 3rd season, couple little issues but all in all very happy with ours.


Ah yes I forgot about the auto-leveling! Impact has that.

Our Impact just has one main awning, but we also have no front slides so that's probably why (I didn't want front sliders), and then one crappier one that comes out over the back patio. No slide toppers either.

I think the Carbon is the less expensive models, less bells and whistles vs the Impact that would have stuff standard on that would be options on the Carbon. On Keystones web site they list their toy haulers from left to right or low line to expensive line.

Our old TT was a Raptor bumper pull, the model was rebranded the next year as a Carbon. Nothing changed in the rebrand. Our current 5er is an Impact. I think the Impact is a bit nicer, finish wise, than the Carbons. I think Carbon is the lower end, Impact is middle, and then stuff like the current Raptors and Fuzions are the high end.

The components themselves... ie stuff like the toilet, the appliances, etc, don't really seem to be different. It's more just the finishes....countertops are nicer, cabinets are nicer, flooring is nicer.
