Keystone Bullet Premier

Make sure the tanks are empty and drains are closed. Hook up the water and run the kitchen sink for a few seconds. Open one drain at a time to see which it comes out. That's one way.

How do you know if black and gray are mixed up???

thanks for that list! it is our first bumper pull with modern amenities:). i think i have read this thread 3-4 times already. i am sure i will read it again when i get back and still find things i wish i had remembered.

VirtualGarage-- I appreciate all the pictures you took and posted on your blog. i spent a good portion of last night looking and dreaming of our first outing. I think the first outing will be at Elephant Butte Lake in T or C NM or Tailgating at the NMSU/Bosie State football game.

Congrats!!

If this is your first TT, I recommend taking notes during the walk through.

Couple of things I wish I would have paid more attention to-
-How the TV worked-must be plugged in to AC power.
-Antenna Booster-must be turned off if using cable TV.
-Where the Water Heater By-pass is and how it worked.
-Run water in all the sinks and check the drains under them for leaks-all of mine leaked.
-The first time you hook water up to the TT-MAKE SURE ALL faucets are turned off! I forgot about the outside shower, no big deal, but i also forgot the outside sink, and the drain plug was in it, didn't know that till i saw water running down the floor to the front bedroom!
-Make sure they show you all of the fuses on the TT.
-Explain the LP tank switch over valve.
-Listen to all of the speakers, even outside ones-one of my outside ones was blown out when i got it
-Check the arms that open the outside kitchen door up, one of mine just broke loose the last time i closed it when prepping it for storage.
-cabinet doors-make sure the hinges are tight and not stripped out.
-Look at how to manually crank the slides and make sure you get the extension to do it, should be a flexible 1/4" drive extension, the motor is on top of the slide on the inside.

You may know a lot of this stuff, it's just things I wish I would have looked a little closer at or paid attention to while i was there.

If you haven't already, read through this whole thread and see if you have any questions about anything, of you might see something you want to ask the dealer about. Like, I had them install a 3 step step on mine because they said it was supposed to have one. Make sure they give you a manual for everything...slides, TV, Radio, Appliances, awning...


Enjoy!

Edited to add stuff I thought of as soon as I hit "post"

While I was camping this past weekend, my 3 yr old son saw mom push 1 of the switches for the main slide so he thought he would help with the back room. However he was pushing the switch for the closed position with the slide already being closed. The gears grinded for about 2 sec before my wife stopped him. Guess what. The slide would not open because it was binded. I had watched the videos that were posted in this thread so I know where I had to go under the belly of the unit I have the 312BH. There was a 12x12 patch with 4 screws that I had to remove and then make a cut into the belly itself. Saw the motor and cranked it a few times on the bolt which gave it enough release room and have had zero problems since.

Check to see if the gray and black tank labels are mixed up. Make sure you have a wand for the mini blind over the kitchen counter. Take your time and make sure they walk through EVERYTHING with you. Good luck!

Yes, it's very simple. The mattress folds in 1/4's, zips in the bag, you pull the couch up, flip the legs in, then push it back. It is very simple, even though my description isn't. :)

Thanks for the info on the blind. It stays open until it is time for bed, then it gets closed to keep the morning light out; that's about it.

Did you happen to see my question regarding the kitchen mini blind?

Ours had the wand for the kitchen mini-blind. It's just a standard one. Frankly, I don't really like that mini-blind there because with the window crank where it is, there is very little functionality for that blind.

The netting is a good way to save weight :C.

We've got 5 kids and the 4 girls use all the beds in the back. They like to use those cupboards to put their clothes, but I would rather they keep their books/DVDs/and PS2 games there.

I'm encouraging them to use the wardrobe/closet that's opposite the bathroom. When we camp, we don't really wear clothes that need to be hung so I filled that closet with 3 sets of hanging shoe holders. They hang off the rod and provide little compartments for the girls to roll up their clothes and use. The older kids get the higher compartments (because they can reach them). The smallest girl uses bins on her bed since she doesn't need the entire bed space.

It's great seeing more people getting this model (or at least wanting/planning to ;) ) because it really helps us all if anyone has a question or a problem to solve :C.

I returned from our trip to Minneapolis 3 days later than planned because on top of the flat tire that repaired, a worn tire that was replaced, we had a bent axle that caused one of the wheel bearings to fail. It was supposed to be our second to last day, but we had to spend 3 extra days in Montana (not a bad thing) for parts and repair. The entire axle and one drum brake was replaced. Thank goodness for Coach Net!

We spent 27 straight nights in the RV--our longest stretch so far. We're heading again this long weekend :C.

Oh, BTW, when I took delivery of our Premier back in May, I noticed that the bag for the air sofa mattress was defective (torn at some of the holding tabs). The dealer ordered a new one for me and it finally arrived in August. So I guess I'll be trying out the sofa for the first time this weekend.

Is it fairly simple to fold back together?

Thanks for the idea of the bins. Currently all 3 beds on the one side are occupied (I have 3 kids), but I can still use bins on top of the bunk over the kitchen.
