01 What makes it unique
Keystone publishes three weights for the Hideout 288BRS: a shipping weight of 6,610 lb, a carrying capacity of 3,035 lb and a hitch weight of 905 lb. Those are Keystone’s own terms, and this page keeps them. Keystone does not call the first figure dry or unloaded weight, does not say the hitch figure is measured dry, and publishes no GVWR for any Hideout floorplan, so none of the three is renamed here and no loaded rating is worked out from them. The trailer’s own federal weight label, inside the door, is the document that carries its UVW, cargo capacity and GVWR.
Tank capacities are 45 gal fresh, 30 gal gray and 30 gal waste, as Keystone lists them. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank is roughly 374 lb on the road before anything else is loaded. The tire size Keystone lists is ST225/75R15D.
Against the 1 Hideout floorplans profiled here, this one is the 1st by Keystone’s shipping weight, in a range from 6,610 lb (288BRS) to 6,610 lb (288BRS). Every figure in that comparison comes from the same Keystone page type for the same model year, so the comparison inside the series is like for like.
Every number on this page was read on 23 Oct 2026 from Keystone’s own floorplan page for the Hideout 288BRS. That page carries no model year, so the year comes from the roster page that links it, which lists the Hideout floorplans under the heading “2027 Floorplans” (this floorplan sits beyond the cards the page renders, and the heading’s own count equals the roster’s full list of floorplan pages). Keystone notes that its website reflects the most recent production run and that features and specifications change during the year.
How the 288BRS differs from the other ten Hideout floorplans. Most distinctive first. Each rank counts only the siblings that publish that field, and a figure most of them share is left out. Not every one of these pages covers the same model years as this one (2027); each figure is the one its own page prints, so a rank compares pages, not one model year.

03 The Hideout floorplan family
Keystone lists 17 Hideout floorplans for 2027. 1 have a complete Keystone figure set and no existing page here, and are profiled, from 6,610 lb to 6,610 lb shipping weight; the others are catalogued on this page with the reason against each. Keystone publishes shipping weight, carrying capacity and hitch weight for these trailers, and no GVWR.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Keystone does not publish for the Hideout
No GVWR, no unloaded (dry) weight under that name, no dry hitch weight and no exterior width appear on Keystone’s floorplan pages for this series, so those rows read as not published. Nothing is filled from a sibling floorplan, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). On a Hideout those figures come from the trailer, not from this page, and they govern the towing decision.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 24 recall campaigns and 11 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Hideout line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.
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%).
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Hideout line page.
