Expert Answers about Keystone Hideout Travel Trailer


  • Replacement Axle for AL-KO T35 3,500 Pound Axle with 85 Inch Hub Length
  • I do have a great option for you, however we do not have any standard 3,500 pound round tube axles available that match the dimensions you provided. For an exact replacement your best option will be to go through a local trailer shop or the manufacturer. Otherwise I recommend taking a look at a Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System. This system features independent suspension setups that provide a uniquely smooth ride and will install on any frame width. Typically they will eliminate...

  • Replacement Lug Studs for Al-Ko 8500 Hub and Drum on 2012 Keystone Hideout 19FLB
  • We don't have a database that tells us what the stud size is on that hub, but I was able to do a little bit of research and find some reports that say that your 1/2" thread by 2" long stud seems to be accurate. For that size wheel stud you can use the Redline # 7-122 lug studs you were looking at which are 2" long and have 1/2" threads.

  • Can Powerbuilt Thin Walled Socket Reach Nut if There's 1 inch of Thread Showing on Shank
  • Yes, the 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 is deep enough to work with what you mentioned. It would still reach the nut with the amount of threads you mentioned showing.

  • Parts Needed to Use Furrion Wireless Camera On a 2020 Mercedes GLE 350 With PWM
  • Yes, the 12V PWM Filter for RV Backup Camera Systems # VGR64VR will allow you to use the Furrion Camera System # FOS05TASF on your trailer pulled by your 2020 Mercedes Benz GLE 350. This is designed to remove the Pulse Width Modulator power and give the camera the 12-volt constant power it needs. We also have the 7-Way Vehicle Power Adapter # FR87PR from Furrion that plugs in line of the 7-way if you would rather not splice into the wiring on your trailer.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch System For a 2022 Keystone Hideout 175BH Travel Trailer
  • I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800 with your 2022 Keystone Hideout 175BH. The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR will be quickly overloaded as it is only rated for 200-600lbs of tongue weight. With your Hideout weighing 485lbs dry the 20lbs of propane along with a 48lb Battery # BRW34FR will put you at 553lbs. Since the storage is also on the front you will want to go with a system like the e2 # FA92-00-0800 with a rating of 400-800lbs of tongue...

  • Could Going to Higher Rated Trailer Brake Setup on Axle Improve Braking Performance
  • I know it sounds tempting, but even if you could go with a higher rated brake setup on your axle the braking power would not be improved. The brakes would basically just end up harder to dial in as they would either feel like they are coming on too hard or too soft. The sweet spot would be really hard to find with your brake controller as the extra magnet sensitivity in the assemblies basically does not increase actual braking power. If you need new brake assemblies best option is a set...

  • Availability of Hubs With 5 On 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern for 5,200 Pound Axle
  • A 5,200 lbs axle like the # 8327816 will not allow you to keep your current bolt pattern. You will have to compromise somewhere, whether it is getting another 3,500 lbs axle or switching bolt patterns. The typical bolt pattern for hubs on your existing 3,500 lbs axle is 5 on 4-1/2. The 5,200 lbs axles we have only allow for hubs with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern like the # K08-201-98 Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2. I would be happy to...

  • How Heavy of a Trailer Will Work With the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire LRC
  • The Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10234 or part # AM32156 with galvanized wheel has a load range C rating which is suitable for use up to 1,925 lbs. If you take this number and multiple it by the number of tires you should get about 10-15% less the GVWR of the trailer. The reason this figure won't exceed the GVWR is you must still factor in the weight that gets transferred to the vehicle via the tongue (i.e. tongue weight). The total weight capacity of trailer tires will...

  • Wheel Lug Nut Cover Solution for 2018 Keystone Hideout Camper
  • I wish we had a lug nut cover that fit the size you have, but nothing we offer is the correct size. The best option we have would be a larger hub cover like the # QT655C which would cover the center portion of the wheel. I attached a review video and a picture of what the cover looks like installed as well.

  • Determining If Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer LC298707 Fits A 2021 Keystone Hideout 30BHKSWE
  • I am sorry to hear the electric stabilizer on your new 2021 Keystone Hideout 30BHKSWE got damaged. It is possible that the Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack - Black Waterproof Switch Kit - 30" Lift # LC298707 you were looking at is the correct replacements but you will need to take a few measurements to be sure. With the trailer on level ground measure from the bottom of your existing stabilizer to the ground. The # LC298707 has 30" of lift so you will need to make sure that will...

  • Fit of K23-462-00 Brake Assembly on Al-KO 4400 lb Axle
  • If the inside diameter of the existing hub is 10 x 2-1/4 inches and the brake mounting flange has the bolt hole spacing as shown in the provided photo, the # K23-462-00 brake assembly you'd referenced would work for you. The brake assemblies include the mounting hardware and the mud and crud plugs to cover the holes for the brake adjuster.

  • Parts Needed to Switch to Wheels With 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern
  • The answer to your question depends on the availability of hubs for your axles. Also, if you don't have a zerk fitting on the end of your spindle then you would be correct, those aren't E-Z Lube axles. I'm not sure which 2017 Keystone Hideout model you have, but you will need to find out what bearings you currently have in order to choose the correct replacement hub and drum assembly. More than likely you have 3,500 lb axles using # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearings. If that is...

  • 2014 Keystone Hideout 25BHSWE Leaf Springs Availability
  • We have 2,000 lb axle trailer leaf springs like the # 072-017-00 but to pick out the correct ones for your Keystone I'd need to know what length of leaf springs you need which you'd have to measure without a load on the springs. These are 21 inches long. The part # e84SR is 20-3/8 inches long, and # SP-113275 is 23-1/2 inches long.

  • A-Frame Jack Recommendation For Keystone Hideout 24BHWE
  • Hi George, I see you've been interested in adding an electric A-frame jack to your Keystone Hideout 24BHWE since at least 2020 when you first asked, so hopefully we can get that resolved today so you can very easily raise and lower your trailer. Since your trailer has a GVWR of just under 7,420 lbs and a jack will only lift up - at most - 15% of that weight, capacity is not going to be a factor at all. With that in mind, there is one option that I absolutely like more than the rest, which...

  • Replacing The Air Shocks On My 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup Truck
  • The Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit - Rear Axle, part # F2595, will work on your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. This is NOT a direct replacement for your factory air shocks, nor do we offer any direct replacement. However, I did confirm with Firestone that they will work with your existing factory air shocks. They are rated to have up to 3,000 of load leveling capacity. It will not increase your vehicle's weight-carrying capacity, but it will help your truck by offering more support under...

  • Best Cover for 2018 Keystone Hideout 26RLSWE Trailer for Snow and Cold Weather
  • By far the best cover for your 2018 Keystone Hideout 26RLSWE travel trailer for cold, wet, snowy weather is the Classic Accessories PolyPro III Deluxe Travel Trailer Cover # 052963735635. The PolyPro III Deluxe cover is the one best designed to offer protection against all the elements, including snow. The reason is because of its three top layers of fabric which will keep your Keystone Hideout as clean as possible. The cover is also vented so the heavy winds common on frigid climates...

  • How To Tell If You Have Manual or Self-Adjusting Braking Assemblies
  • The only true what to tell if a trailer has self-adjusting or manual adjusting braking assemblies will indeed be to remove the hub and look for the self-adjust cable (see photo). I am not aware of another method for this as the model number (if present) is generally placed on a sticker inside the assembly which also requires you to remove hub. The adjuster plug would be the same as well regardless. That said, although not as exact as the above if you were to craw under the trailer and read...

  • Does Jensen RV Stereo JWM60A Come With Wiring to Connect to TV For DVDs
  • The Jensen RV Stereo - Double DIN - AUX/USB, Bluetooth, jControl - 12V # JWM60A comes with a 3.5mm A/V cable adapter that you can plug into the front of the unit and can connect to a TV with RCA ports. Not a lot of newer TVs may have that port, so if your TV connects via HDMI cable the better option would be a stereo with an HDMI port directly on the front of the unit: - Furrion RV Stereo - Double DIN - HDMI, AUX/USB, Bluetooth # DV1230BL

  • Which Furrion Observation System Fits Little Guy Mini Max Prewired for Furrion
  • The Furrion Vision S is the current version of the Furrion observation systems and the Vision 2 is the older and now discontinued F0S48TAPK. For the Little Guy Mini Max the # FOS43TASF will fit and work well since it is pre-wired for a Furrion kit like this. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.

  • Replacement Hubs And Axles For A 2015 Keystone Hideout 27DBS Travel Trailer
  • I can definitely help point you in the right direction. Axles and hubs are not custom fit, so we do not have a way to know axle/hub specs just by looking up a year, make and model. If only it were so easy right? That being said, the online owners manual for a 2015 Keystone Hideout 27DBS shows a GVWR of 7,865 lbs and a body width of 96". So it stands to reason that you likely have a pair of 3,500 lb axles underneath. Our 3.5K axles come in either a 89" long # e43SR, or a 95" long # 7359765-EB....
