Help us choose our new trailer
Help! We are planning to purchase a new trailer soon. We are empty nesters, but with kids and grandkids nearby, so we want something that will sleep at least 6 for when we have guests. Either bunks...

The things that are important to me, may not apply to you. I have 2 kids, 8 and 11 but have traveled for up to a month with my niece and her 2 kids that are the same age.(And doing it again this summer)
1. Walk around queen bed.
2. Couch for plenty of seating and sleeping.
3. Enough counter top for food prep and dishes.
4. Bathroom with enough room to move in.(Don't have enough room around the toilet now)
5. Clothes storage for 8 people.
6. Separate room for sleeping kids or visitors.
7. Light enough to be easily towed with a 3/4 ton Suburban and while carrying up to 8 people.
8. LED lighting to keep the power usage down when boondocking. Kids tend to leave lights on occasionally.
My TT accommodates a large family nicely. But when I retire, an open rear living area will be a requirement.
Actually, our lists are pretty similar! And your number 1 is definitely my number 1. We plan on holding this one for 7-10 years until we retire and then we will get the "big un".... How do you like your Bullet? My husband is partial to them so far...
I do like the Bullets for a few reasons. (The Passports are built the same I believe)
Lower weights with maximum square footage.
Sturdy aluminum wall/floor framing.
Large kitchen sinks(at least when I was looking)
I bought mine used and it was the first year of the Bullet Premier with the solid one piece front cap.(There were delamination issues with the standard caps back then)
Just keep in mind that at this price point, some things may need attention sooner. On my 2009, I've reinforced all the cabinet hinge screws with glue. Not a big deal and haven't had an issue since. I've also replaced the stabilizer jacks with heavier ones. Really minor stuff really. No other issues I can think of.
