2026 Hideout22MLS

The Hideout 22MLS is a front private king bedroom with a rear kitchen, theater seating and a tri-fold sleeper sofa — a 26-foot travel trailer aimed at couples who want a real king bed in a short, light trailer. A king bed with under-bed storage anchors the front, a waterfall kitchen sink and extra-tall overhead cabinets sit at the rear, and theater seating plus a tri-fold sleeper sofa and a laundry chute round out a couples-first layout that still sleeps six.

It carries the Hideout dual-axle build — laminated filon sidewalls on a powder-coated steel frame, a walkable roof and an enclosed underbelly, on tandem axles. At 5,477 pounds dry against a 7,500-pound GVWR it leaves 2,023 pounds of cargo capacity, and the dry tongue weight is 665 pounds. A 10 cu ft refrigerator and 15K BTU air conditioning round out the equipment.

A figure worth stating plainly: Dry weight (5,477 lb shipping) and the carrying capacity (2,023 lb) are Keystone-published; GVWR is their sum, 7,500 lb, a round manufacturer figure. The standard-features list notes an optional 54-gallon fresh tank, but the published spec field of 46 gallons is used here as the canonical capacity. MSRP is shown dealer-quoted, as Keystone's floorplan page omits a base price. As with every lightweight trailer, the published tongue weight is a pre-production dry estimate — once water, gear and passengers are aboard, real loaded tongue weight runs higher and lands on the tow vehicle's payload, so weigh the loaded trailer and match it to your truck honestly before relying on the brochure number. For couples who want a real king bed in a short, light trailer, the 22MLS is a well-targeted pick within the Keystone value stack.

Keystone's Hideout covers a dual-axle family line and a lighter single-axle line (filed by RVUSA as Hideout Mini, marketed for 2026 as Hideout Sport) for SUV towing. The plan on this page is highlighted; each profiled plan links to its own page. The full Hideout catalog runs to dozens of floorplans — the highest-demand layouts are detailed here and the rest are catalogued on the Hideout hub.

A full 46-gallon fresh tank is about 384 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 19% of the 22MLS’s 2,023 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,639 lb (273 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Hideout floorplans the water share runs 13% to 28%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Hideout 176BH at 18% and Hideout 230BH at 20%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

Closest sibling: the Hideout 24RBS, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 26 ft 2 in vs 28 ft 11 in; dry weight 5,477 lb vs 6,079 lb; GVWR 7,500 lb vs 7,465 lb; cargo capacity 2,023 lb vs 1,386 lb; grey tank 39 gal vs 69 gal. They match on sleeps, dry hitch weight, fresh tank and black tank.

Either side of it by GVWR: Hideout 212RKS matches it at 7,500 lb GVWR; Hideout 25RDS is 100 lb heavier (7,600 lb GVWR).
