Our first RV was a 2014 Hideout. Good, basic rig that worked well until we were hit by the upgrade bug.
Be sure to check it out - as mentioned, quality will vary because QC isn't the greatest. Your PDI is critical, so know what to look for. I believe that applies to all of the mass producers, though, as this isn't a particularly well regulated industry and people seem to keep buying them regardless of issues. There isn't much drive except in the top tier, low production brands to improve QC.
We missed that one of our CorrectTrack bolts was missing and ended up towing our Hideout 80 miles home with misaligned axles because the rear left, rear hanger was completely disconnected. Dangerous and stupid - and because I wasn't experienced towing, I thought it might just be the "way it felt". I did stop a couple times and walk around it at the side of the road, but until I got it home didn't find the issue. Fortunately no issues with it, but had to argue with both the dealer and Keystone to get it fixed and got them to replace both tires on that axle for free though there wasn't really any damage to them.
