Keystone using Chinese couplers

Hi guys
I been away a while. We were thing about moving to Puerto Rico. Well after 2 weeks down there that not going to happen, so back to getting a camper.

We know it is going to be the Keystone Outback 326RL.

I want to get the Andesen hitch. In my research on it found out some Atwood couplers will not work with it.

I contacted Keystone to verify they did not use the affected couplers.

Well they dont, but found out they are Chinese couplers

Hitch/Coupler Brand - Pacific Rim (RAM)
Hitch/coupler rating - 14000/2100
Coupler class - 4

Sold in the US by Midwest Marketing.

Doing a search on the coupler. Lippert has them listed in their online catalog.

So what other Chinese parts is Lippert using?

Most likely dozens and dozens from all manufacturers. We live in a multinational world like it or not. I doubt anything is going to change that.

Your right. At least Lippert did not try to pass it of as their own. Did Lippert buy all of Atwood or just the window division?
