Travel Trailer Review: Keystone Passport 3400QD GT
Image Caption:
Even before the 2020 Keystone Passport 3400QD GT arrived on dealers’ lots, it was generating buzz. Offering what are said to be the industry’s first quad double-over-double bunks, the 3400QD can sleep a whopping 14 people. Large families and those who like to bring along friends will want to take a look at this innovative new floorplan.
Inside
Sleeps
Two-tone wood-panel doors provide privacy in the front master bedroom, which houses a 60-by-80-inch queen bed.
The rear bunk room is the star of the show. Step inside to find four 51-by-74-inch beds in a slideout. With dedicated sleeping for up to eight, this is the perfect space for epic sleepovers. The two bottom bunks are hinged and flip up to create roomy cargo spaces.
Across from the beds is another feature that kids will love: a massive entertainment center anchored by a 43-inch television. There’s plenty of room to store gaming systems and more in the cabinets below. A rear entry door makes the bunk room easy to access from outside, a feature that keeps kids from tracking messy shoes through the rest of the rig.
Up front, the master bedroom offers a 60-by-80-inch queen bed, which is flanked by deep, mirrored storage cabinets and topped by an attractive shiplap accent wall.
Double-over-double bunks provide sleeping space for up to eight. Built-in ladders make the top bunks easily accessible.
Galley & Storage
The adjacent corner kitchen includes everything needed, from an 8-cubic-foot refrigerator to a microwave, three-burner cooktop with a cover and a high-output range. Shaker-style wood cabinetry and seamless countertops provide a modern touch.
Living Area
Frosted glass, stainless steel and light-colored flooring contrast with the rich wood tones of the 3400QD. Hidden behind the main entertainment center is a walk-in pantry.
The family can gather in the wide-open living area for meals and fun. The U-shaped dinette and trifold sleeper sofa (or optional theater seats) are located in a large slideout. Across from them, an entertainment center holds a TV and conceals a spacious walk-in pantry.
Throughout the 3400QD, vaulted ceilings open up the space, as do the light-colored walls, laminate flooring and frosted-glass cabinet fronts, all of which nicely contrast with the rich wood tones.
Outside
Materials & Construction
Although the 3400QD is a relative beast at 38 feet, 4 inches long, it is surprisingly lightweight for the length, with a 7,525-pound unloaded vehicle weight (UVW) and 9,640-pound gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). Keystone is on-trend with the simple exterior, featuring minimal graphics set against smooth laminated fiberglass.
Notable Equipment & Features
As part of Passport’s Grand Touring series (the “GT” in the model name), many upgrades are included, among them an electric tongue jack, LP-gas cylinder cover, black-tank flush and a fold-away grab bar at the main entrance. MORryde StepAbove entry steps come standard.
For easy outdoor meal prep, the pullout kitchen serves up a two-burner cooktop and a small fridge.
Final Thoughts
It will be interesting to see if other manufacturers add a bunkhouse with quad double-over-double beds to their lineups. Until then, Keystone’s 3400QD is leading the pack.
