Join Patrick from Travels with Delaney for a tour of the 2023 Cougar Sport 2100RK, an impressive 5th wheel with a comparably low MSRP of $45,866. Yes, in the video Patrick says it is under 40K, but that is a sale price.
Coming in at just under 26 feet, this might be a great 5th wheel for those who want to camp in state and national parks. This particular floor plan, with its queen-sized bed, will especially appeal to couples.
Heading inside, the 5th wheel has a crisp, clean farmhouse aesthetic. The kitchen is in the rear with a nice big window to gaze out of as you prepare meals or do the dishes. I love the large stainless steel sink with a high-rise faucet and the fact that there are lots of cabinets. The Cougar Sport is outfitted with an entire Furrion kitchen suite including a microwave oven, 3-burner stovetop, and oven. A 10-cubic-foot Furrion refrigerator freezer keeps everything chilled. There really is a HUGE amount of kitchen storage.
There are some nice little touches, like a cubby near the door where you can kick off your shoes and put them away out of sight. There is also a motion sensor light on the steps for midnight trips to the kitchen.
The small booth-style dinette makes into a bed. While the brochure says it sleeps two, they had better be pretty close friends.
Above the dinette, you’ll find the Furrion entertainment center that includes a 40-inch television and next to it is a HUGE pantry. Right across is a tri-fold sofa for comfortable watching. I will say that theater-style seating would have been nicer, but this is not an option in Cougar’s Sport series.
Heading up the steps you will find the bath. In order to create more headroom for tall folks to shower, Cougar has strategically placed a domed skylight right above. I also love the Nautilus system sliding shower door that self squeegees, and the fact that you have a real porcelain toilet.
Even though there is no bedroom slide, you can still walk around the queen-sized bed and there is still plenty of storage, including the large wardrobe closet that makes use of the space behind the shower. The bed is on struts, which makes it easy to lift up and access the substantial storage area underneath.

We have a 30 gallon black water tank. So far as we are concerned, it is the biggest non-fixable fault in our 2017 Cougar trailer. With only 30 gallons, we find we need to empty the tank every 2-3 days. And this is just a theory, but the 30 gallon size is why it takes so much work -and water – to fully flush the tank; there isn’t enough water pressure, for a long enough time to pull waste from the tank sides toward the drain. Neighbors with larger black tanks not only go longer between drains, but spend less time flushing.
What caught MY attention was the price. Under $40k! Unbelievable. They HAVE cut a few corners but this looks like a nice trailer. He keeps referring to the half-ton version like it’s a step up from this model (the Sport). I wonder what he would say this was towable with.
We toured this trailer a few months ago at an RV show and seriously considered it because of the price. I don’t think it had the solar panel though and that was one of the reasons we decided against it. The finishes are a little low-end and the bathroom was pretty tight. But, for the price, it’s a great trailer.
I purchased a new 2022 Keystone Cougar in January 2023. My TT is a piece of junk. Nothing but problems resulting in cancelled camping trips. In August 2023 I was told I need a new roof. Keystone is arguing about replacing the roof under warranty. NEVER buy a Keystone RV.
