I really like the Keystone Hideouts but know they are Keystones bottom of the barrel units.

I ended up buying a new one just over a year ago. And it wasn't even so much cost. It just had the perfect floor plan for my family. I really dragged my feet because of it being the low end of Keystone. In the end, DW and kids loved the features so I own one.

Overall, I'm super happy. I got lucky and haven't had a single problem in my year of ownership. I don't use it much so that's probably part of the reason nothing has gone wrong (yet :)) I think I've spent around 20 nights in it over the last year. The features on these newer trailers are nice compared to what you find used. And I don't know how/why people are so hard on RVs. I can never seem to find a used unit that doesn't smell like a dirty sock and have huge stains on everything.

Glad to hear you like yours. Just found out a co-worker just bought a bunkhouse Hideout also and is very happy with it.

One of the craziest things I've noticed in some ads are that the people selling make zero effort in cleaning the unit before taking photos. Clutter on the floors and counters, clothes laying around and beds not made. That I'll never understand but I'd never even consider buying a trailer that someone wasn't even willing to try and clean up before snapping photos to post for sale.

I have to laugh about cleaning a trailer before selling it, my wife stated that we needed to clean our 5er before we traded it in for our new one. So we washed the inside top to bottom, washed the outside, took the cushion to the cleaner to be dry cleaned and then took it to the dealer .... The gal that looked at it stated "WOW" we don't have to anything to this unit but put it on the lot ! I stated that you can give me an extra few thousand then right, she laughed, but we did get $10K for a 2006 5th wheel on trade ....
