Why Bella Vista RV Focuses on Coleman & Hideout

At Bella Vista RV, we have curated our inventory to focus on Keystone’s two strongest travel trailer lines. By specializing in Coleman and Hideout, we offer our customers the best possible variety of floorplans while ensuring our technicians are experts on the specific systems these trailers use. Here is how to choose between them:

1. Coleman: The Heritage Choice

"Rugged, Reliable, and Ready." Coleman is the brand for the practical camper. If your priority is maximum sleeping capacity and durability for the kids and dog, Coleman is often the answer. The Coleman Lantern series utilizes traditional wood-frame and aluminum siding construction ("stick and tin"). This design is incredibly tough, easy to repair, and offers a lower price point, allowing you to get a larger trailer for less money. It’s the quintessential family camper.

2. Hideout: The Modern Choice

"Style, Tech, and Comfort." Hideout appeals to the camper who wants their RV to look as good as their truck. With its smooth aluminum front profiles, automotive graphics, and sleek interiors, the Hideout feels more like a modern condo. It often includes upgraded amenities like Central Vacuum systems and porcelain toilets (in larger models). If you want the latest tech and sharpest looks at the campground, Hideout is the winner.

Shared Keystone DNA: The "Unfair" Advantage

Regardless of whether you choose a Coleman or a Hideout, you get the exclusive engineering benefits that only Keystone RV provides:

• SolarFlex™ System: Both brands now come with factory-integrated solar power. You don't need to be an electrician to go off-grid; the panels and wiring are already in place to keep your 12V fridge and lights running.

• 3-Year Structural Warranty: While most competitors offer a 1-year warranty, both Coleman and Hideout come with Keystone’s 3-Year Limited Structural Warranty, covering the roof, walls, and floor.

• Color-Coded Wiring: Both brands utilize Keystone’s unified wiring standard. This might sound technical, but it means that if you ever have an electrical issue 5 years down the road, it is significantly faster (and cheaper) for our technicians to diagnose and fix.

Frequently Asked Questions About Keystone Brands

Is Coleman made by Keystone? Yes. Coleman is manufactured by the Dutchmen division, which is fully owned and integrated into Keystone RV. This means your Coleman trailer benefits from the same supply chain, engineering standards, and warranty support as the Hideout.

Which one is lighter? Both brands offer lightweight options.

• Coleman: Look at the Lantern LT series for single-axle, SUV-towable options.

• Hideout: Look at the Hideout Sport Single Axle or Hideout Mini for the lightest weights. Generally, comparable floorplans (e.g., a 17-foot bunk model) will weigh roughly the same in either brand.

Do both brands have the "Cold Weather" package? Yes. In the Coleman Legacy and the Hideout (Main Line), you will typically find enclosed and heated underbellies that use a dedicated heat duct from the furnace to protect your tanks. This is a standard Keystone feature for their full-size travel trailer lines, extending your camping season in Ontario.
