01 What makes it unique
The Hideout 25RDS is a U-shaped dinette layout with a walk-through bath and two entry doors — a 29-foot travel trailer aimed at couples who want a big dinette and a center walk-through bath. The walk-through bath and second door keep the front bedroom private from the living area.
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 6,122 pounds dry against a 7,600-pound GVWR it leaves 1,478 pounds of cargo capacity, and the dry tongue weight is 705 pounds. A 10 cu ft refrigerator and 15K BTU* air conditioning round out the equipment.
A figure worth stating plainly: MSRP is not published on RVUSA for this plan; dry weight is derived from GVWR minus the RVUSA cargo capacity (1,478 lb) and flagged. 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 big dinette and a center walk-through bath, the 25RDS is a well-targeted pick within the Keystone value stack.

What it takes to tow this
Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.
Truck tow ratings are not listed: one model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The loaded range is the 10–15% tongue-weight convention for travel trailers, applied to this plan’s 7,600* lb GVWR, not a measurement of this unit. Hitch class is not used as a rating (SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR); read the rating stamped on your hitch. The GVWR marked * is derived from published dry weight plus published cargo capacity, not printed as a single figure by the source.
03 The Hideout floorplan family
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.

Figures for profiled plans are verified against RVUSA structured spec records (2026); dry weight and MSRP, where RVUSA omits them, are from Keystone factory listings and dealers, with GVWR derived as dry plus payload and flagged where the dry figure is a near-variant. Options affect final weights — always confirm against the unit's own weight sticker.
04 Notes on this floorplan
U-shaped dinette layout
A U-shaped-dinette, walk-through-bath couples' trailer with dual entry: a flexible mid-bath layout with a roomy dinette in a 29-foot single-slide Hideout.
Built for couples who want a big dinette and a center walk-through bath
The walk-through bath and second door keep the front bedroom private from the living area.
Verify the loaded tongue weight before you tow
Keystone publishes tongue weight as a pre-production dry estimate; real loaded tongue weight runs higher and lands on the tow vehicle's payload. Weigh the loaded trailer and check it against your truck's rating before relying on the brochure figure.
On the weight figures
MSRP is not published on RVUSA for this plan; dry weight is derived from GVWR minus the RVUSA cargo capacity (1,478 lb) and flagged.
05 How it compares
The rear-bath sibling — a full rear bathroom rather than a U-dinette and walk-through bath.
A lighter couples' alternative — cheaper and simpler.
The family bunkhouse of the dual-axle line — sleeps nine.
06 Loading it for a trip
This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 46-gallon fresh tank is roughly 26% of the 1,478-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 25RDS with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 1,478 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (46 gal × 8.34 lb) | −384 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 1,094 lb | 26% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 182 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 6 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry tongue weight of 705 pounds is 12% of the 6,122-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.
Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 7,600-pound GVWR the 25RDS is towing 1,478 pounds more than its 6,122-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
Tank balance is generous here: 46 gallons of fresh against 69 grey and 30 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Ranked by GVWR, the 25RDS sits 9 of 10 in the Hideout line: 7,600 pounds against a line that runs from 4,350 to 7,700 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.
Either side of it in the same line: Hideout 22MLS is 100 pounds lighter at 7,500 lb GVWR; and Hideout 262BHS is 100 pounds heavier at 7,700 lb GVWR.
| Comparable travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25RDS | 7,600 | 6,122 | 6 | 29 ft 5 in |
| Coachmen Apex Ultra-Lite 242BARV | 7,600 | 5,772 | 4 | 28 ft 10 in |
| Campsite Ultra 19KB | 7,600 | 5,158 | — | 22 ft 4 in |
| Classic Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian LE 28RB | 7,600 | 6,800 | 4 | 28 ft 2 in |
| Colt 26DBS | 7,600 | 5,815 | — | 30 ft 4 in |
| Flying Cloud 27FB | 7,600 | 5,950 | 5 | 28 ft 2 in |
| Coachmen Freedom Express Ultra Lite 22MLS | 7,600 | 5,602 | 4 | 26 ft 10 in |
Against the 25RDS: the Coachmen Apex Ultra-Lite 242BARV sleeps 2 fewer; the Campsite Ultra 19KB is 7 ft shorter; the Classic Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian LE 28RB is 1 ft shorter and sleeps 2 fewer. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.
Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.
For scale, the Hideout floorplans profiled here run 3,020 to 6,205 pounds dry and 20 to 31 feet of exterior length across 10 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.
Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Hideout line hub.
08 Common questions about the 25RDS
How much does the 25RDS weigh?
Its published dry weight is 6,122 lb and its GVWR is 7,600 lb, so 1,478 lb separates the empty trailer from its rated maximum. By GVWR it is the 2nd-heaviest of the 10 Hideout floorplans profiled here that publish a GVWR (4,350 lb to 7,700 lb). Size the tow vehicle to the 7,600 lb figure, not the dry one.
How much can the 25RDS carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 1,478 lb, 19% of the GVWR. Across the 958 travel trailers on this site that publish both figures, the median share is 23%, so this plan sits 3 points below the median. A full 46-gallon fresh tank is about 384 lb of it (26%), because federal rule counts on-board water as cargo (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2). The yellow cargo-capacity label inside your own trailer’s entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3) states the figure for that unit as delivered, options included, and it is the one that binds.
What is the tongue weight of the 25RDS?
The published dry tongue weight is 705 lb, 12% of the dry weight. Across the 1,148 travel trailers on this site that publish both figures, the median dry tongue share is 12%, so this plan sits close to the median. Loaded, it changes with where the cargo sits, and it is carried by the tow vehicle’s payload, not its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the 25RDS need?
A tow rating of at least 7,600 lb, this floorplan’s GVWR, plus enough payload for the tongue load, passengers and cargo. The dry tongue weight alone takes 705 lb of that payload before anything is loaded. Payload is printed on the tire and loading placard on the tow vehicle’s driver-side door pillar (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3); this site lists no truck ratings because they vary by build.
How many people does the 25RDS sleep?
It is rated to sleep 6. 3 of the 10 Hideout floorplans profiled here that publish a count are rated for more. Rated positions include convertible furniture.
What are the tank capacities on the 25RDS?
Fresh 46 gallons, grey 69 gallons, black 30 gallons. The smallest of the three is the black tank, at 30 gallons. Combined waste capacity is 99 gallons.
How long is the 25RDS?
Exterior length is 29' 5". That makes it the 2nd-longest of the 10 Hideout floorplans profiled here that publish an exterior length (20 ft 6 in to 30 ft 11 in). Check it against campsite and storage length; the exterior figure includes the tongue or pin box.
Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.
09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
Named sources publish 15 of the 18 specification fields this catalogue tracks for the 25RDS (84% complete on the full field set).
Not published for this floorplan: exterior width, interior height, tire specification. Those rows are left blank rather than copied from a sibling floorplan.
Values marked with an asterisk are arithmetic on published figures or come from a single source; the flag travels into the downloadable spec sheet.
Sourcing rules: methodology.
11 NHTSA safety record
This floorplan belongs to the Hideout line, and NHTSA holds 24 recall campaigns and 11 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 11 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are structure (36%), equipment (27%) and electrical system (9%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.
Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Hideout line page.
