For couples seeking the perfect travel trailer, the Keystone Cougar series has long been a favorite. Among these, the Cougar 22MLS stands out, and for good reason. Having previously considered this model myself, I’m excited to delve into the enhancements Keystone has introduced for the 2023 edition of the Keystone Cougar Travel Trailer. While the core floor plan remains largely consistent, the updates are impactful, significantly improving the overall RV experience.
Enhanced Safety and Reliability with Goodyear Endurance Tires
One of the most welcome changes to the 2023 Keystone Cougar travel trailer is the standardization of Goodyear Endurance tires across the Cougar line. This upgrade addresses a critical aspect of RV safety and reliability. The RV industry, while vast, hasn’t always prioritized tire quality, leading to concerns about blowouts and premature failures even on new trailers. Many RVers, myself included, advocate for the Goodyear Endurance as the go-to tire for towables due to their proven durability and performance. Keystone’s decision to include these as standard equipment on the Keystone Cougar travel trailer demonstrates a commitment to owner safety and peace of mind on the road.
Continuous Comfort with a Standard Tankless Water Heater
Another substantial improvement in the 2023 Keystone Cougar travel trailer is the inclusion of a tankless water heater as standard. This feature brings a new level of convenience and safety to RVing. Traditional RV water heaters heat water to a high temperature, around 140°F, to maximize the use of a limited tank capacity, typically six gallons. While effective, this system poses a scalding risk, especially for those unfamiliar with RV systems or younger campers.
The Furrion tankless water heater in the updated Keystone Cougar travel trailer offers continuous hot water on demand, eliminating the wait and the limitations of a tank. More importantly, it enhances safety by allowing users to precisely control the water temperature. With a digital control panel, you can set your preferred hot water temperature, ensuring a comfortable and safe experience every time you turn on the tap. This advancement in the Keystone Cougar travel trailer provides both luxury and enhanced safety, making it an even more appealing option for discerning travelers.
Conclusion: The 2023 Keystone Cougar 22MLS – A Step Forward
The 2023 updates to the Keystone Cougar travel trailer, particularly the 22MLS model, are focused on meaningful improvements that enhance the RVing experience. The move to Goodyear Endurance tires as standard dramatically improves safety and reliability, while the tankless water heater provides continuous hot water and added safety features. These upgrades solidify the Keystone Cougar travel trailer as a top contender for couples seeking a comfortable, safe, and modern travel trailer for their adventures.
