01 What makes it unique
The Hideout 181BH is a single-axle double bunkhouse with a front bedroom and a slide — a 22-foot travel trailer aimed at growing families who want maximum sleeping capacity on a single axle. At a paper capacity of eight it is one of the roomiest single-axle bunkhouses Keystone builds, marketed for 2026 as a Hideout Sport single-axle.
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 3,991 pounds dry against a 5,200-pound GVWR it leaves 1,209 pounds of cargo capacity, and the dry tongue weight is 425 pounds. A 7.7 cu ft refrigerator and Roof A/C air conditioning round out the equipment.
A figure worth stating plainly: Dry weight (3,991 lb) is JD Power's published MY2026 figure; GVWR derives as dry plus the RVUSA cargo capacity (1,209 lb) to 5,200 lb. On a single 3,500-class axle the loaded margin is modest once a full family loads up — weigh it loaded before relying on the brochure. 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 growing families who want maximum sleeping capacity on a single axle, the 181BH 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 double bunkhouse
A single-axle double bunkhouse that sleeps eight: a front bedroom, a larger family floorplan and a slide in under 23 feet, still on one axle.
Built for growing families who want maximum sleeping capacity on a single axle
At a paper capacity of eight it is one of the roomiest single-axle bunkhouses Keystone builds, marketed for 2026 as a Hideout Sport single-axle.
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 (3,991 lb) is JD Power's published MY2026 figure; GVWR derives as dry plus the RVUSA cargo capacity (1,209 lb) to 5,200 lb. On a single 3,500-class axle the loaded margin is modest once a full family loads up — weigh it loaded before relying on the brochure.
05 How it compares
The lighter single-axle bunkhouse — sleeps six, shorter, easier for a smaller SUV.
A no-slide dual-axle family bunkhouse — sleeps eight with a bigger payload, heavier tow.
The ultra-lite outdoor-kitchen bunkhouse — sleeps ten, dual-axle, far more space.
