01 What Hideout is
Hideout is Keystone's family-value travel-trailer line — affordable camping with features not always found at its price point, and a core part of the Keystone value stack with Passport, Springdale and Bullet. For 2026 it covers two construction tiers.
The dual-axle Hideout line is the family-and-couples mainstay: laminated filon sidewalls on a powder-coated steel frame, an enclosed underbelly, 10-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerators and ducted air. Below it sits a lighter single-axle line — filed by RVUSA as Hideout Mini and marketed for 2026 as Hideout Sport — built with an 8-foot-wide aluminum sidewall, an AlphaPly TPO roof under a lifetime warranty and Dura-floor decking, with several models under 3,500 pounds for SUV towing.
This hub profiles representative plans from both tiers in depth — a dual-axle rear-bath couples' plan, a U-dinette plan and a family bunkhouse, plus two single-axle entry trailers — and catalogues the full 2026 roster below.
02 Floorplans profiled in depth
Ten Hideout floorplans — six from the dual-axle family line and four from the single-axle entry line — are profiled in full with verified specifications. Each links to its own page. The remaining 2026 plans are catalogued below.

| 181BH | 3,991 lbs | 22' 9" | 8 | Single-axle double bunkhouse, front bedroom, larger family layout | $29,800 |
Hitch weight, payload, dimensions, tanks, sleeping capacity, axles and slides are RVUSA-verified; dry weight and GVWR carry an asterisk where derived (dry plus payload), and MSRP is dealer-quoted or a prior-year figure where RVUSA omits 2026 pricing. Options affect final weights — always confirm against the unit's own weight sticker.

Coverage is not complete, and this matters. These campaigns come from two passes over NHTSA’s public record: a query-by-query harvest of the recall API (1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero), and a sweep of NHTSA’s complete recall flat file (325,650 rows), which added 46 campaigns the API harvest had missed. It missed them because the roster it worked from was built by a catalog endpoint that refuses most requests, so entire manufacturer names were never asked about — NHTSA files several Forest River sub-brands as makes of their own. Two limits remain: NHTSA sometimes files a roster under a parent name, and some matches below rest on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Campaigns affecting only pre-2005 units fall outside this catalog’s range and are not listed. This page is a starting point, not a clearance. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy, and again before you tow.

How this count is drawn. A report is counted here only when NHTSA’s own model field names this line. What the owner typed in the description is never used to attribute a report: our line names are ordinary English words, and an owner writing “imagine my surprise when the axle went” or naming the state of Montana is not reporting a Grand Design Imagine or a Keystone Montana.
Read these as reports, not as findings. Complaints are submitted by owners and NHTSA does not verify them; no complaint here has been confirmed as a defect, and none of them is a recall. The sample is also self-selected — only owners motivated to file appear in it — so a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Use the pattern, not the total: a component that keeps recurring is worth inspecting on any used unit. File or search complaints at NHTSA.
