01 What makes it unique
The Passport SL 229BH is a front-bedroom bunkhouse with rear double-size bunks, a U-shaped dinette slide and a rear cargo door — a 27-foot travel trailer aimed at families who want real bunk space without a heavy truck. It sleeps eight on paper, with the private front bedroom keeping the parents separate from the bunk room.
It carries Keystone's Passport SL build — laminated, gel-coated filon sidewalls, a fully walkable roof, a one-piece polypropylene underbelly, a high-impact thermoset-resin front cap and Dexter torsion rubber-ride axles on Tamarack tires, on tandem axles. At 5,625 pounds dry against a 7,600-pound GVWR it leaves 1,975 pounds of cargo capacity, and the dry tongue weight is 630 pounds. A 9 cu ft refrigerator and 13.5K BTU air conditioning round out the equipment.
A figure worth stating plainly: Dry weight (5,625 lb UVW) and the 7,600-lb GVWR are Keystone-published and reconcile with the RVUSA cargo figure; confirm the loaded weight against the unit's sticker. 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 families who want real bunk space without a heavy truck, the 229BH is a well-targeted pick within the Keystone value stack.

03 The Passport floorplan family
Keystone's Passport spans two builds under one nameplate: the ultra-lite Passport SL (Super Lite) line for SUVs and half-tons, and the premium Passport line with a painted fiberglass front cap, vaulted ceilings and a 15K air conditioner. The plan on this page is highlighted; each profiled plan links to its own page. The full Passport catalog runs to dozens of floorplans across both builds — the highest-demand layouts are detailed here and the rest are catalogued on the Passport 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
Front-bedroom bunkhouse
A genuine family bunkhouse at ultra-lite weight: a private front bedroom, rear double-size bunks and a single slide in 27 feet, towable by many half-tons and capable SUVs.
Built for families who want real bunk space without a heavy truck
It sleeps eight on paper, with the private front bedroom keeping the parents separate from the bunk room.
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.

05 How it compares
The bigger outdoor-kitchen bunkhouse — sleeps ten with a large slide, heavier and longer.
Keystone's dual-axle family bunkhouse — similar layout on a steel frame, slightly heavier.
A lighter single-axle alternative — cheaper and simpler, but far less bunk space.
