Bullet premier 31bhr 2012.

Anyone have experience with one or know about the quality? Our old trailer( in sig) got major water damage and more than worth to repair. Luckily found roof damage insurance paid out to even out our loss of the trailer. We sold it cheap just to dispose of it. Trusted the repair guy completely as he is a good family friend of a woman I work with whose son works for him too. He had a couple with a blow out come by and he fixed their bullet and now they want to sell. He offered it to us. Looks like we could offer the couple $15k cash. They are asking $17,500.Does that seem Good or worth it? Feeling stung on the old one as likely the damage came mostly from original shoddy sealing. Much of the damage was unseeable until he dug into the wall and floor. He has gone over this one and said is sound. Thanks.

    Think that 15000 is too much for a used 4 year old Bullet. Ours had an MSRP of 33,500 and bought it new in Nov 2014 for 19,995. It is a 285RLS. 30 ft long. We love the TT, quality is top notch , have not had a single issue with it! Bullets are rated high on this forum by owners.. have never seen a negative comment!



    Your not comparing apples to apples. Hes looking at a 31BHPR which has two slides and an outside kitchen. I think he just inadvertently left the P out of the letter. It also has the full fiberglass front cover, outside kitchen and frameless windows. I think if its solid and well cared for that its a heck of a good deal.

    WE have a 2012 285 QBHS or something like that. It has four bunks in the back and the mega slide for the couch and dinette. Other than the usual maintenance it has held up very nicely. And that includes wear and tear from four kids. We take it out about a half dozen times each year with at least one trip across the state each year. We really like it. I thought there was a blue book on line for campers, four wheelers and that sort of thing. Pretty sure its a kelly blue book. Try that and look it up but the price seems good to me.


    I did look it up. Thanks. Low retail is 17.5k.

    If you properly and regularly maintain it by properly prepping it and using the proper caulk for a roof , it should not leak.

    Each time I use any rv I have ever owned, I climb onto the roof and inspect it. Tree branches (even small ones) can puncture the sealant causing a leak .
    I wipe clean the caulk with Dicor roof cleaner then apply a very thin coat of dicor self leveling roof caulk on the seams. I use a wet finger or a small plastic blade to smooth it all out. Knock..Knock...Knock...never had a leak. :)

    I do this once a year unless I can see or SUSPECT that I hit a tree branch.

    Yep. We learned a tough lesson.

    I have a 2011 Bullet Premier 28RLPR. Not the same floor plan but it is the same line. It's been a very solid trailer. Also did a few mods to mine. Still enjoy the trailer and do not have any plans to replace it in the near future.

    We have a '13 Bullet bhpr. It's been a great trailer for us. No issues at all. We did a few minor mods to make it more user friendly ( repositioned outside fridge, added JT Strongarms to the jacks to stop wiggle, eternabonded the roof seams etc). It's the best built tt we've owned. Retailed at $39k (cdn) paid $31k new so price doesn't seem out of line if it was well taken care of.
