Keystone Bullet Premier
We are seriously looking at buying a 31BHPR. It pretty much has everything we are looking for in a TT, the only cons we can think of with it is, it has curtains instead of solid doors for the bedroom ...

Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum and buying my first travel trailer. I have tent camped for years and my grandparents had TT's and I have been recently with friends who have a pop-up.
My wife and I have been searching for about a year now and we finally decided to go with a 2013 Keystone Premier 31BHPR. We looked at so many and it came down to a 2012 Palomino T-291, 2013 Solaire 317 BHSK, 2013 Keystone Outback (with queen bed slider in back) and the 31BHPR.
My tow rig is a 2011 CC Nissan Titan SV 4x4. I have Bilstein Shocks, Nitto Terra Grappler e rated tires, Magnaflow muffler, and Volant cold air intake. I am getting a programmer this week. I normally tow a 25' deck boat about every weekend from spring to fall. My boat is right around 6500lbs loaded with water, fuel and gear, and the truck tows it great.
I think I should be fine towing this camper, as it will be mainly used spring through fall at our lake property. I will only be towing around 20 miles round trip on fairly flat roads. But I plan to venture out to some campgrounds later this year.
Any advice and tips for a newbie would be appreciated and I look forward to being a part of this forum.
Hello. I also tow a Premier with a Titan. Up until February I used an 06 Titan Crew Cab 4x4. In mid February I bought a new 2012 Titan SL Crew Cab. I have not towed with the new one yet.
My Premier is about 500 lbs lighter (5900 dry/ 6700 lbs loaded), 1.5 feet shorter, and about 120 lbs lighter on the tounge. There is only 2 of us so we are under payload for the truck after adding in tounge weight, bicycles, etc. The truck pulls it nicely. I have pulled mainly on flat roads in eastern MA but have towed it through the hilly Green Mountains in Vermont and the Catskills in NY. I do not think I would want to tow a bigger camper since it is a comfortable tow now but I am not sure HOW much bigger the 31BHPR relatively and in real world towing experience.
