2026 Hideout230BH

The Hideout 230BH is a front-queen bunkhouse with rear double-over-double bunks, a booth dinette and a jackknife sofa — a 27-foot travel trailer aimed at families who want maximum sleeping space at the lowest dual-axle weight. It sleeps up to nine with double-over-double rear bunks, a convertible booth dinette and a jackknife sofa, while the walkaround front queen keeps the parents separate; a 10.7-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator and an air-fryer convection microwave are unusual at this price.

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 4,776 pounds dry against a 6,500-pound GVWR it leaves 1,724 pounds of cargo capacity, and the dry tongue weight is 625 pounds. A 10.7 cu ft refrigerator and 15K BTU air conditioning round out the equipment.

A figure worth stating plainly: Dry weight (4,776 lb shipping) and the carrying capacity (1,724 lb) are Keystone-published. GVWR is their sum, 6,500 lb, a round manufacturer figure, and Camping World corroborates the 4,776-lb dry. At 4,776 pounds it is the lightest profiled dual-axle Hideout. 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 families who want maximum sleeping space at the lowest dual-axle weight, the 230BH 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 41-gallon fresh tank is about 342 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 20% of the 230BH’s 1,724 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,382 lb (154 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Hideout floorplans the water share runs 13% to 28%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Hideout 22MLS at 19% and Hideout 262BHS at 23%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

Closest sibling: the Hideout 262BHS, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 27 ft 6 in vs 30 ft 11 in; dry weight 4,776 lb vs 6,205 lb; GVWR 6,500 lb vs 7,700 lb; cargo capacity 1,724 lb vs 1,495 lb; dry hitch weight 625 lb vs 725 lb. They match on sleeps, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Either side of it by GVWR: Hideout 181BH is 1,300 lb lighter (5,200 lb GVWR); Hideout 24RBS is 965 lb heavier (7,465 lb GVWR).
