Keystone Hideout "quality" ?
We're thinking of trading in our bumper pull for a fifth wheel & there's a leftover 2018 Keystone Hideout 308BHDS available for a really great price locally. We used to own a Passport a few years ago ...

I have that exact model (2016) and it's been a good unit. It's had a couple things but nothing that it ever had to go back to the dealer for. I really wasn't looking for the cheapest trailer but the floor plan is exactly what I/we wanted. The rear bunk room for the kids is amazing. I wish the bedroom had some more space but the 1/2 bath is nice.
I was pretty impressed with some of the items it came with at that price point - nice shades, ceramic toilets, decent carpet and furniture, etc. Sure, it's got some cheap stuff too.
On the weight thing you'll be surprised how fast it adds up. I'm right close or slightly over my 3000# payload once loaded up with family, sliding hitch and basic supplies. The dry weight is right around 9K but loaded up with some water and supplies it's right around 11K.
One last thing, be careful how low to the ground the rear end it. I've ripped jacks off a couple times and also snagged the spare tire. I've had some heavy duty rollers welded on and had the spare tire mount extended to get it up away from the bumper. PM me if you want to see pictures.
For the money I'm overall happy with it. I paid around 31.5K but got some credit towards a hitch and installation so I can't remember exactly my price. I remember I could have saved another 1K or so if I'd been willing to drive 500 miles. I think I've seen them around 29K on RV Trader.
