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.

Verified specs, drawn to scale

Original graphics built from this floorplan’s own verified figures.

Loaded weight budget

Loaded weight budget for the 25RDSHorizontal bar. Dry weight 6,122 pounds, then cargo capacity 1,478 pounds, against a GVWR of 7,600 pounds. Dry tongue weight 705 pounds on the same scale.GVWR 7,600 lbsDry 6,122 lbsCargo capacity 1,478 lbsDry tongue weight 705 lbs — same scale
Drawn from this page’s published figures. The bar runs from empty to GVWR: the dark band is dry weight, the light band is everything you are allowed to add — water, propane, batteries and gear all come out of it. This plan’s GVWR was derived as dry weight plus cargo capacity because no source published it directly.

Overall length and height are drawn true to scale from the published figures, no exterior width is published for this plan, so no end view is drawn. Axle count is as published; axle position, wheel size and the nose profile are schematic. This is a size drawing, not a floorplan, and not a claim about body shape.

Holding tanks

Published tank capacities on one scale. A full fresh tank is about 384 lbs of water — roughly 26% of this plan’s 1,478 lb cargo capacity, before you load anything else.

These graphics are generated from the same verified record that builds the table above, and are published under this site’s own licence — nothing here is traced from, or derived from, a manufacturer drawing or photo. Where a figure is not published for this plan, the graphic that would need it is omitted rather than estimated. The full record is in the published dataset.

What it takes to tow this

Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.

Minimum tow rating your vehicle needs7,600 lb*
Published dry tongue weight705 lb
Loaded tongue weight, typical range760–1,140 lb
Minimum receiver hitch capacity7,600 lb towed / 1,140 lb tongue
The tongue weight above is dry. It is the figure the manufacturer publishes for an empty trailer. Loaded — with water, propane, batteries and your gear — it runs higher, which is why the range row uses loaded weight. Sizing your truck off the dry number under-budgets your payload.
The arithmetic that actually binds. Open your driver’s door and read the payload figure on the yellow-and-white sticker — that number is specific to your truck as built. Subtract from it: loaded tongue weight (use the range above), every passenger, everything in the bed and cab, and the weight-distributing hitch itself where one is used. What is left is your margin. Payload, not tow rating, is what most half-ton owners run out of first.

We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded tongue percentages are industry convention for travel trailers (10–15% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — 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 What owners & reviewers report

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.

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.

Per sleeping position, water aboard182 lbA 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.

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?

It leaves the factory at 6,122 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 7,600 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.

How much can the 25RDS carry?

Cargo carrying capacity is 1,478 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 46-gallon fresh tank uses about 384 pounds of that.

What is the tongue weight of the 25RDS?

The published dry tongue weight is 705 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.

What size tow vehicle does the 25RDS need?

Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 7,600 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.

How many people does the 25RDS sleep?

It is rated to sleep 6. Rated sleeping positions include convertible furniture, so count the beds against how you actually travel rather than against the number.

What are the tank capacities on the 25RDS?

Fresh 46 gallons, grey 69 gallons, black 30 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.

How long is the 25RDS?

Exterior length is 29' 5". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it 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

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 15 of them for the 25RDS. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: exterior width, interior height, tire specification. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (84%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

Values on this page carrying an asterisk were derived by arithmetic from published figures, or come from a single source, rather than being printed directly by the manufacturer. The flag travels with the number into the downloadable spec sheet.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.

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.
