Keystone Hideout 262BHS vs Venture RV SportTrek ST271VRB

Keystone · Travel Trailer

The difference that matters

Identical 30.9-foot lengths, different households. The Hideout 262BHS is a bunkhouse that sleeps eight; the SportTrek ST271VRB is a rear-bath couples plan with 82 inches of interior height.

The Hideout is the lighter tow at 6,205 lb dry with a 725 lb hitch, against 6,770 lb and 860 lb for the SportTrek. The SportTrek carries much more, though: 2,490 lb of cargo capacity on a 9,260 lb GVWR, against the Hideout's 1,495. It also has the larger waste tanks, 76 gallons gray and 38 black against 39 and 30, plus a 10 cu ft refrigerator, a 30K BTU furnace and 60 lb of LP capacity.

The Hideout's equipment leans toward durability and future upgrades: a walkable roof with 3/8-inch decking, one-piece marine-grade floor decking, a one-piece enclosed underbelly, solar prep, up to seven inverter-prepped outlets, a lithium-ready converter and a 42K BTU tankless water heater.

Keystone Hideout 262BHS: Families of up to eight who want a lighter bunkhouse with solar and inverter prep for later upgrades.
Venture RV SportTrek ST271VRB: Long trips for two, with a rear bath, a tall interior and a big cargo margin.
