2026 Passport SL253RD

The Passport SL 253RD is a front-bedroom, rear-bath layout with a walk-through bath, dual entry doors and a U-shaped do-more dinette — a 29-foot travel trailer aimed at couples who want a private front bedroom kept separate from the living area. The second entry door opens straight into the combined kitchen and living area, while the front bedroom keeps its own door, and the tri-fold sofa and dinette double as guest berths.

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 6,012 pounds dry against a 7,600-pound GVWR it leaves 1,588 pounds of cargo capacity, and the dry tongue weight is 640 pounds. A 10 cu ft refrigerator and 13.5K BTU air conditioning round out the equipment.

A figure worth stating plainly: Dry weight (6,012 lb) is JD Power's published MY2026 figure for the 253RD; GVWR is derived as dry plus the RVUSA cargo capacity (1,588 lb), which lands exactly on Keystone's 7,600-lb rating. RVUSA shows MSRP $41,910 while at least one dealer lists $43,910 — confirm the figure on the unit's sticker and window label. 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 who want a private front bedroom kept separate from the living area, the 253RD is a well-targeted pick within the Keystone value stack.

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.
