2012 Keystone Bullet Ultra Lite 215RBS
Looking at downsizing to a TT. Anyone have any comments (good or bad) regarding the Keystone mentioned in the Subject? TIA

Take a look at the frame. If it has the Lippert I-beam that is made of 3 pieces of thin metal made to *look* like an I-beam, stay clear of it. They are a known problem because they have excessive flex in them that can lead to all sorts of serious problems. I've see them on 5 different makes/models of ultralite trailers now. Ultralite means way less substantial construction materials and methods. You want a frame that is a single forged steel type for better strength.
You'll also find a lot of people recommending against Keystone in general. If you want to keep a TT for a long time and have something that is better made and more durable, get a non-ultralite unit.
If you want to see a better made trailer and a company that cares about designing one, take a look at the Wind River made by Outdoors RV. Wind River I sure wish we had known about this before we bought our current trailer. This line isn't the cheapest by far, but one of the better ones out there. They've got some very cool options like an offroad frame package.
Don't get sucked in by the pretty colors, lovely cabinets and attractive interior decor and the rest of the bling and eye candy. Look at what's under the skin. Check out all the RV forums for feedback on a desired make/model. Go to RV shows. Oftentimes too, it's not until you get a new unit home and start using it, you find the shortcomings.
Choose wisely... Your money, enjoyment and piece of mind is on the line.
