In search of large family Bunkhouse

In looking around, those Bullet's by Keystone seem to keep popping up. This one has potential. 287QBSWE. It's a 32 footer. I'm not sure what kind of TV you have that will pull something like that AND haul all those people and dogs.

I can see why you need at TT or more as you couldn't afford to take a trip and pay for like four rooms a night and food out. You could pay for a TT after about a week doing that.

Keystone has 5 models in the Passport line and 5 in the Bullet line and more in their other lines.
What are you towing with?

We have a 2014 Salem 29ud3 TT. Maybe you should have a look.

A Keystone Cougar XLite 29BH is what we have. It's only 6200 pounds dry and will sleep 8 comfortably. We love it. Tons of storage.

This is the trailer I would buy if I were in OP's situation.

Thank you all for the feed back. Yes I'm looking for a TT. I have a F150 EcoBoost with max tow package. 12k tow capacity.


we are looking at taking a van also to carry the kids.

I'm just looking at dry weight, given my wife would never consider going anywhere there weren't hook-ups.

What i.e. TV?

TV = Tow Vehicle

You run out of payload and receiver limits (and seats) well below the tow rating. That Open Range Roamer 310 for example at 9300 pounds dry is about 3k pounds too heavy. You claim you won't go anywhere without full hookups, but, 8 people's worth of clothes, kitchen supplies, food, toys, games, chairs, towels, etc will put you at least 1000 pounds over dry rating.

6k dry, maybe 7k if you put all the people in the other vehicle while towing and you have at least 1800 pounds of payload. What does your Tire and Loading sticker list for Max combined weight of occupants and cargo?

You won't be able to to tow any of those large trailers with your F150, unless you have the very rare "Max Payload" package. Even the "max tow" package does not have enough payload for the tongue weights on those trailers. Expect a large bunkhouse trailer to have over 1500 pounds of hitch weight. Mine is closer to 1800 pounds with full water.

My F150 specs are 12,200 trailer weight and tongue weight of 1,220.

I don't expect to ever be carrying water or waste in the trailer.

Most of these trailers that I've seen are 6500 dry weight with tongue weights of less then 1000lbs.

I'm sorry I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack when it comes to this discussion. I truly appreciate your input.

What I'm I missing here?

the 2016 KEYSTONE RV PASSPORT 3220BHWE has a dry weather of 6300, with a tongue of 580lbs?

even if I put 1000lbs in the trailer for good and toys, that still seem to be way under the limits, right?
