Keystone RV Passport Judgment, Check If You Qualify for $2,000 — Guisinger v. Keystone RV Company, No. 23-cv-01393-MWC-RAO

August 28, 2026. That’s your deadline to claim $2,000 from the Keystone RV Passport roof truss judgment — and it’s closer than it looks. A California federal court found Keystone misrepresented how these trailers’ roofs were built and entered judgment for owners whose Class Trailers have wood roof trusses instead of the advertised steel. Filing takes about 20 minutes, plus another 20 to check your trusses.

Who Is Keystone RV and Why Are They Being Sued Over Roof Trusses?

Keystone RV Company manufactures the Passport line of travel trailers, including the Western Edition sold through authorized California dealerships. The lawsuit alleges Keystone advertised these trailers as built with “5-inch Crowned/Stamped Galvanized Steel Roof Trusses” while quietly switching some units to wood trusses after September 2016, a swap that changes weight, durability, and how the roof holds up over time. Keystone denies any wrongdoing and still argues some Class Trailers have metal trusses, not wood — which is exactly why the judgment requires owners to verify what’s actually in their roof before getting paid.

What Happened in the Keystone RV Passport Roof Truss Case?

The court ruled in February 2026 that the case could proceed as a class action. Class notice went out in May 2026, and anyone who didn’t opt out by June 22, 2026 stayed in. On June 23, 2026, the court entered judgment in favor of the class — not a settlement Keystone agreed to, but a judgment the court actually issued, with Keystone still denying the underlying claims.

The legal theory rests on California’s consumer protection trio: the Consumers Legal Remedies Act, the Unfair Competition Law, and the False Advertising Law, plus a common-law unjust enrichment claim. In plain terms, those laws say a company can’t advertise one material and quietly ship another. It’s the same statutory combination behind the Resident Home fake-discount settlement — California’s go-to toolkit whenever what’s advertised doesn’t match what’s delivered.

Here’s the detail worth sitting with: this is a judgment, not a settlement. Keystone didn’t agree to pay to make the case go away — a court decided against them, and Keystone is still contesting which specific trailers actually have wood trusses. That’s a meaningfully different posture than most of the settlements covered on this site.

Who Qualifies for the Keystone RV Passport Judgment?

Here’s exactly how to know if the Keystone RV Passport judgment includes you.

• Owners who bought a new Passport Western Edition trailer from a Keystone-authorized California dealership before December 1, 2019
• Trailers with a serial number that sequentially ends after HX414101
• Current owners only — if you sold the trailer, you don’t qualify
• Only trailers with wood roof trusses qualify; confirmed metal-truss trailers are not eligible and don’t need to file

You do not qualify if you bought outside California, bought after December 1, 2019, or your trailer’s serial number doesn’t fall in the affected range.

Keystone RV Passport Owners Outside California — Are You Still Covered?

No. This is a California-only class tied to California’s consumer protection statutes. If you bought your Passport trailer from a dealership in another state, this judgment does not cover you, regardless of when you purchased it.

Not sure if you qualify for the Keystone RV Passport judgment? A free consultation with a consumer fraud attorney can help you sort out eligibility before the August 28 deadline, especially if Keystone disputes your truss type.

How Much Can Keystone RV Passport Judgment Class Members Get? Up to $2,000 Per Trailer

Every eligible Class Trailer with wood roof trusses gets the same $2,000.00 — no tiers, no pro-rata reduction based on how many people file. That’s unusual. Most class settlements shrink everyone’s check if more people file valid claims; this judgment doesn’t work that way, because Keystone pays each qualifying claim directly rather than out of one capped pool.

Payment goes out by check, mailed in October 2026, after the Judgment Administrator verifies your Request for Payment. You’ll need to submit a W-9, and the payment may be reported to the IRS on a 1099 — check with a tax professional before you file.

What Pro-Rata Doesn’t Mean for Your Keystone RV Check

There isn’t one. Unlike a lot of settlements where a shrinking slice of a fixed fund gets split among more claimants, this judgment pays $2,000.00 flat to every valid claim. Filing more claims doesn’t shrink anyone else’s check.

How to File Your Keystone RV Passport Judgment Claim — Step by Step

1. Go to keystonepassportclassaction.com and start your Request for Payment online, or use the mail-in form from the Documents page.
2. Confirm your serial number ends after HX414101 and check your purchase date is before December 1, 2019.
3. Verify your trusses — unscrew the bathroom vent and visually inspect, or photograph/video the exposed truss material. This takes about 20-25 minutes.
4. Upload proof of current ownership: vehicle registration, certificate of title, DMV record, or proof of current insurance.
5. Submit a completed W-9 and your Request for Payment before August 28, 2026.
6. Watch your mail in October 2026 for your $2,000.00 check.

Should Keystone RV Passport Class Members Opt Out or Object Before Judgment Was Entered?

What Opting Out of the Keystone RV Passport Case Actually Meant

Class Members had until June 22, 2026 to exclude themselves and preserve the right to sue Keystone individually over roof trusses. That window has closed. If you didn’t opt out by then, you’re bound by the June 23 judgment and can no longer bring a separate lawsuit over this specific issue — but you can still file your Request for Payment.

How Objecting to the Keystone RV Passport Judgment Worked

Because the court entered judgment rather than approving a negotiated settlement, there was no separate objection period in the same sense — Class Members’ main choice was opting out by June 22 or staying in and filing for payment now. That window has already passed.

Talk to a consumer fraud attorney if you’re unsure whether you were properly included in the class or if your opt-out request was processed correctly.
