Hello, my name is Doug and I have a problem...

Yesterday my wife and I were returning from a trip to New England. When we got to the NJ Turnpike, I saw what looked like a TT up ahead of us about a quarter mile. Knowing that TTs are pretty rare on the roadway here during the winter, I immediately wanted to check out the situation. I tried catching up but we were in a construction zone and traffic was really bad. After about 10 minutes I was able to get up on the left side of the TT, and discovered it was the same Keystone Bullet series as my TT. As we were aside the Bullet, my wife and I were debating whether it was bigger or smaller than our TT. Based on the position of the windows and the slide out, I thought it was basically the same floorplan. Since it was a white color, I already knew that the Bullet was probably a 2012 model, since the Bullet changed to beige color in 2013.

Soon after we first evaluated the TT, the left lane slowed way down so the TT got quite a bit of distance on us. I had to catch back up to the TT, but this time on the right side so I could check out the exact model. Due to the congestion on the highway, it took me another 10 minutes to catchup, and move over two lanes. And to my delight, it turned out the Bullet was the exact same model as ours 281BHS!

I was still left wondering why the TT was being towed and where. There was only one person in the TV, which was a Chevy Silverado 2500. So I ruled out a couple or family traveling south for the winter. I knew the TV was not from NJ, because it did not have a front plate, but I was not able to check the plate on the back of the TT. Perhaps it was just being transported somewhere.

Anyway - this obsession with TTs made the trip go by a lot faster. LOL
