Blanek,
Welcome to the RV Dreams forums.
I looked on their website and couldn't find the information that I was looking for. In fact, I didn't see the 347 at all. When considering a unit for full time use, I would recommend making sure that the frame is at least a 12" frame. Depending on where you will be located with the trailer (hot or cold climates), you might want to find out what the "R-rating" for insulation is listed as. Also, consider the total weight of each model you consider, because that can give one an indication of how much one can haul with regards to "stuff" and toys. Sometimes, the lighter trailers also mean that the construction quality can be less.
With regards to the 347, I didn't see that model on Keystone's website. One thing to look at is also the size of the holding tanks, especially if one is going to be boondocking much. Suspension and wheel and tire sizes and weight ratings is also something to consider, depending on how much weight you are going to be "loading" into the trailer.
Good luck with your research and planning

Blanek,
Although I cannot speak first hand of the Mountaineer TH, I can tell you the Keystone line . well made. I believe you might have a typo with the model whereas it is a 357 not a 347.
Either way, we love our Montana and the Mountaineer is just a slight step down. Not in quality but mainly in available options and upgrades.
Keystones customer service is outstanding and their dealer network is superb.
Good luck,
Les

Saw the new Heartland Cyclone toy Hauler on Facebook this morning. While we're not interested in TH's it was a pretty impressively designed unit. I think it was the 3950 model. Saw older ones online but not this unit. You might want to ake a look.
