01 What makes it unique
The Hideout 178RB is a single-axle front-bedroom layout with a rear bath and a booth dinette — a 20-foot travel trailer aimed at couples and first-time buyers who want a light, simple two-person trailer. The rear bath and front bedroom give it a grown-up layout in one of the lightest trailers in the catalog.
It carries the single-axle Hideout build — an 8-foot-wide aluminum sidewall, an AlphaPly TPO roof under a lifetime warranty, Dura-floor decking and a single 3,500-pound axle, on a single axle. At 3,024 pounds dry against a 4,400-pound GVWR it leaves 1,376 pounds of cargo capacity, and the dry tongue weight is 400 pounds. A 3.3 cu ft refrigerator and 13.5K BTU air conditioning round out the equipment.
A figure worth stating plainly: Dry weight (3,024 lb) is confirmed from dealer listings; GVWR is derived as dry plus the RVUSA cargo capacity (1,376 lb = 4,400). 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 and first-time buyers who want a light, simple two-person trailer, the 178RB is a well-targeted pick within the Keystone value stack.

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
Single-axle front-bedroom layout
A single-axle front-bedroom, rear-bath couples' trailer with a booth dinette: a sub-3,100-pound, SUV-towable entry coach for two in 21 feet.
Built for couples and first-time buyers who want a light, simple two-person trailer
The rear bath and front bedroom give it a grown-up layout in one of the lightest trailers in the catalog.
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
Dry weight (3,024 lb) is confirmed from dealer listings; GVWR is derived as dry plus the RVUSA cargo capacity (1,376 lb = 4,400).
05 How it compares
The dual-axle rear-bath couples' trailer — far roomier, heavier.
A single-axle couples' alternative — U-dinette rather than rear bath.
A light couples' trailer — cheaper and simpler.
