The Keystone Carbon 36 is a toy hauler that works very well for weekend warriors who are looking to get away for a quick weekend fishing trip, a family visit to a national park, or maybe a long peaceful break away from the stresses of life. Its amenities and features ensure that its passengers don’t have to give up the comforts of home in order to enjoy the pleasures of the open road.
The open road awaits with a travel trailer. Imagine cruising through the desert on Labor Day weekend to relax and see the majesty of the Gand Canyon for the first time. Or how about that long-awaited trip to the mountains to find peace and solitude. An RV opens up a world of possibilities. It allows its passengers to throw caution to the wind and go anywhere their hearts desire. Travelers look for adventure anywhere it can be found, whether it’s along a dirt path or down a wide highway.
Unfortunately, much of the time, the prospect of buying a new RV seems too lofty. RVs can be expensive, so potential owners often glance past the option, assuming it’s unaffordable. For those who want a lighter weight, more affordable RV that offers them all the possibilities of the open road, the Keystone Carbon 36 travel trailer strikes a fantastic balance.
Keystone has been impressing RV enthusiasts since 1996. From the beginning, their purpose was to build quality RVs that are packed with amenities and offer their owners great value. Now in 2021, they’re looking to surprise and delight their customers with every touchpoint. And with the Keystone Carbon 36 RV starting at just under $58,000, that’s exactly what they’re on track to do.

Both the kitchen and living room offer multiple overheard soft-close cabinets to support an owner’s needs in dining and entertainment. Everywhere an owner looks in the Carbon 36 they’ll see another storage space, making the possibilities of their journey seem nearly endless.
Driving/Towing
A standard feature on the Carbon 36 RV is an upgraded Rota Flex pin box. This ensures that owners start off with an RV whose ride is already built to limit strain on both the truck and the trailer. The Rota Flex pin box also helps reduce chucking by offering controlled movement of the king pin within the hitch. The black powder coating offers rust resistance so RV enthusiasts don’t have to worry about damage based on where they travel.
Holding up this 10,000 lb. mobile vacation are two Dexter E-Z Lube 7,000 lb. axles with electric self-adjusting brakes. These axles are American-made and heavy-duty. The electric self-adjusting brakes help to cut down on stopping distance and reduce wear and tear on the towing vehicle. Additionally, the Carbon 36 has premium 8-lug 16″ radial tires that carry an F-rated load weight, so everything an owner needs carried will be fully supported.
