2013 Keystone Hornet Hideout 210 LHS
Does anyone have one of these? If so, pros and cons please. Our local dealer has one for sale at $13,900 - does that sound like a good deal?

We bought our 20' 2007 Hideout by Hornet back in May. We put 1500 miles on it this summer with no issues. It had been well used, but well cared for too. A few minor blemishes, but nothing that were deal breakers. No leaks or mold. We use "load levelers and 1 anti-sway bar" going down the road. Tows well...and behaves up to 65 mph. That's as fast as I'll tow.
We felt it was way too low for some of the camping we might like to do so we had the axles flipped which helped greatly with clearance.
Ours has a Dometic fridge (which works GREAT..good sized freezer too). It has a Wedgewood 3 burner gas stove. Works great... Heating/A/C works great. Porcelain toilet. Future project may hold a "Fantastic Ceiling Fan", but not sure on the installation. The fan on the A/C blows up a storm...lol
The stock removable shower head was more of a glorified dribble which left something to be desired (it was about as efficient as a drooling dog) so we replaced it with an Oxygenic hand held... MUCHO BETTER! It's a real shower now! The bathroom fan is adequate.
Agreed... the step out of the tub is too BIG for a short person. I'm thinking we need a small assist handle there. I'm short and my hub is disabled - the tub side is about 4" too tall.
Bed... BAD! We put Memory Foam on the bed, and it's comfy now.
The fan over the gas stove sounds like a 747 revving up for take off. WAYYYY TOOOOOO NOISY, but it's efficient!
Microwave is a brand name and works very well.
The kitchen and food prep areas are generous given the size of the TT! We are working on reclaiming the space under one of the table seating benches so we can pull things out from the side rather then having to pull apart the seat to access the storage.
We removed the false front on the couch that is placed side to side to the right of the entry door - The false couch front was screwed to a 1/2" lip on the floor. That was a lot of wasted storage area! That area now holds 5 plastic storage tubs with a little room to spare and the 1/2" lips keeps the tubs from sliding around when traveling. My winter project is to make a little café' curtain to hide that area while keeping it easily accessible.
We are now looking into finding sturdy, free standing, pull out wire shelf organizers that will go under the sink. Not sure we want to build anything in as that is the ONLY access to the kitchen sink/pipes should we ever have a problem. Would love some suggestions on that area!
All in all we LOVE this little unit. I only wish it had a slide out! We'd keep it forever. It gets a little crowded in there at night when we are all in there (2 adults 2 dogs). For now...we are very pleased with the overall construction of this unit, and it's performance - especially given it's 6 yrs old and well used.
