What to Know About the Keystone Impact 343 

‌The popular Keystone RV models are where quality and comfort meet in the camping world. Just looking at the 2021 Impact 343 could make anyone fall in love with its spacious interiors and elegant design. Here are the main characteristics that make RV enthusiasts want to brag about this beautiful toy hauler and take it on as many road trips as possible. 

Exterior 

We don't believe in judging a book by its cover, but the many wonders of the Impact 343 begin with its durable and stylish exterior. It has a 100-inch wide body equipped with 10-inch and 12-inch beams and frame welded tie-downs. Its Rota-Flex pin box helps keep this beauty steady and reduces its vibrations for a smoother ride, even on the bumpiest of roads. 

‌ 

‌The Impact 343 features aerodynamic fiberglass front caps with lights and an improved turning radius. It also has laminated sidewalls that merge aluminum and fiberglass for added endurance to the elements and the many stressors of the road. Its large, black-framed panoramic tinted safety glass and frameless dual-pane windows will let tons of light in, allowing all passengers to enjoy wonderful views anywhere they go. 

‌ 

‌When it comes to exterior amenities, the manufacturers didn't hold back — they thought about everything! The Impact 343 features an exterior shower with hot and cold water to get rid of sand on those warm days at the beach or to rinse off the mud after a rainy hike in the mountains. This gorgeous RV also has a sliding rear patio door and an electric awning with adjustable arms, auto dump, and an LED light strip to make evenings outside all the more enjoyable.  

‌ 

‌Keystone went above and beyond with other exterior novelties as well. This toy hauler features 30-inch-wide entry doors to make it easier to bring any type of luggage or equipment on board. Its LCI SolidStep extra-wide first step lets any passenger climb aboard with confidence, even when they cannot see where they're stepping when carrying something large.

Floorplan 

‌Once inside the Impact 343, things only get better. The sophisticated furnishings and finishes are simply breathtaking. This toy hauler is carpet-free and features fiberglass-backed linoleum floors to help make cleaning easier and quicker. It has designer upholstered window valances and nightshades to give its occupants a little extra privacy in the evenings and to block out the sunlight in the early mornings. That way, it's easier to sleep in on a lazy day. 

‌ 

‌The hardwood cabinetry and residential-style furniture give every corner of this home-away-from-home a cozy vibe. This high-end hauler features heated seats with LED lights, massage settings, and USB ports for maximum convenience and comfort. All that's left to do to enjoy these perks even more is to turn on its 5,000 BTU electric fireplace, sit back, and relax.  

‌ 

‌The Impact 343’s spacious kitchen has all the necessary elements and then some. It features full-extension ball-bearing drawer guides and pressed countertops. It also has a stainless steel sink with a deep single basin and a high-rise faucet with a pull-out sprayer that will make dish-washing a little less tiresome for those who don't enjoy the chore.  

‌ 

‌The Impact 343 has one bathroom with pressed countertops and a porcelain foot flush toilet. It might seem small, but it features an oversized shower with a skylight that anyone in the family can enjoy. The bedroom has a 60x80-inch residential queen-size bed equipped with reading lights for late-night page-turning. It also has bedside outlets with USB ports and a TV hook-up.

‌ 

‌The manufacturers also put safety first by adding a breakaway switch and safety chains. And this toy hauler has GFI receptacles as well as carbon monoxide, smoke, and propane gas detectors. All units come with a fire extinguisher too. 

‌ 

Storage 

‌When going on a long trip or carrying tons of luggage, one of the main concerns for travelers is if their RV will have enough storage space. Nobody wants to spend days on end on the road inside of a cluttered tin can. Fortunately, Keystone thought about this issue and provided plenty of room for RV enthusiasts to stow away all of their essential items — and many of the not-so-essential ones as well.

‌The Impact 343 features: 

Driving / Towing 

‌Towing a fifth-wheel toy hauler like the Impact 343 can seem a little daunting for those who have never before hit the road with a trailer attached to their vehicle.
