Keystone’s Cougar is the 2nd most popular 5th wheel in the country.
The Midnight upgrade kicks this already well-loved RV up to another level with these features:
- Full-body paint in “Black Onyx” or “Phantom Gray.” This is automotive-grade paint meant to give your RV long-lasting durability and a high-end look.
- Rated from 0 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit this upgrade is meant to handle hot AND cold temps. It also includes dual air conditioners to handle hotter temperatures.
- Dual-pane frameless windows for a sleek look, better noise reduction, and even some insulation benefits.

Pros and Cons of a 2024 Keystone Cougar Midnight Edition
PROS
If you’re looking for luxury, practicality, and safety in a stylish package – you may just find the Midnight Edition the perfect fit. Consider these pros when you decide if the Midnight Edition is right for you:
- It Looks Good: The full-body paint options, “Black Onyx” and “Phantom Gray,” give this RV a sleek, sophisticated look. Special blue lighting for the awning, speakers, and nose cap creates a cool glow at night. The blacked-out wheels also give the RV a modern, tactical look.
- Hot/Cold Travel Friendly: This upgrade is made to handle a wide range of temperatures. The standard dual air conditioners also help manage interior temperatures, something you may need in direct sunlight. The heated lithium batteries also continue to perform in colder weather with maximum energy storage efficiency.
- More Solar Power: Comes with a beefy 440-watt solar power system paired with two 100 amp-hour lithium batteries. This makes going off grid much more practical.
- Safer Towing: Adding an anti-lock braking system adds a layer of safety for towing by lowering the risk of skidding if you have to stop suddenly.
- Peaceful Camping: Dual-pane frameless windows look sleek and help dampen outdoor noise for a peaceful indoor experience.
- Durable Exterior: The automotive-grade paint used is more resistant to weathering and fading, so your RV looks newer for longer.

CONS
Every RV isn’t right for every RVer and every upgrade isn’t the right fit for every RV either.
Here are some potential cons of buying a Midnight Edition 5th wheel:
- Pricey: Buying a brand new 5th wheel is expensive. While the features of an upgrade may be nice, it’s not always in the budget to pay even more for your camper.
- Heat Absorption: This edition is built to handle a variety of temperatures. But, if you plan to travel in extremely hot areas like Texas or Arizona the darker “Black Onyx” and “Phantom Gray” paint options may absorb more sun rays that lead to higher temperatures in the RV.
Keep this in mind if you’re traveling in hot, sunny areas. The dual A/C units may offset this, but they may also need to run extra – you decide if this is a deal breaker for you. - Midnight May Not be Your Look: Some RVers prefer more traditional, lighter RV colors. Maybe for better efficiency or just for looks. No judgment here!

Yes, if:

The Keystone Cougar “Midnight Edition” Fifth Wheel may be a good fit for you if you value form and function, since this upgrade blends a high-end look with practical features for comfort and safety.
► You Travel in Hot and/or Cold Weather
You like getting out into nature in a variety of temperatures? This RV goes 10% further than most “all-season RVs” to adapt to higher and lower temperatures. If you love to travel all year long, it could be just what you need.
► You Want to Go Off-Grid
Want to escape, but like, really escape? The solar package and battery system upgrades in the Midnight Edition make this perfect for spending more time off-grid.
► You Appreciate Safer Towing Features
The anti-lock braking system makes this a safe option. This is ideal if you plan to be on the road a lot or doing cross-country travel in hilly or mountain areas.
No, if:
► It’s Not in Your Budget
Paying thousands extra just isn’t always in the cards. Every RVer has a budget and we want to help you find the right RV and RV trim to fit yours. If this isn’t the right fit – reach out anytime – one of our RV outfitters would be happy to help you find the right 5th wheel for you.
► You Aren’t a Fan of the Look
You should love to see your RV when you’re paying more than $50,000 for it! If the dark colors aren’t for you, you may prefer the standard Cougar package.
Maybe if:
► You Travel in Extreme Sunshine and Heat
The A/C may have to run extra to compensate for the extra rays and heat the dark RV exterior absorbs. Consider your options and make sure you’re not bothered by this before you make a final decision.
