Keystone Passport vs. Bullet

Good afternoon!

I am looking to possibly pick up one of the subject trailers. I was originally looking at the Keystone Passport 2400BH, and found one for $19,100 out of state at a wholesale type dealer. A couple of my buddies told me to see what I could get one for locally. I contacted a local RV dealer and they sell the Keystone Bullet 243BHS for around $25,000. They appear to be the exact same floor plan, and I haven't found much on my search to figure out if there are any differences in the quality level. So, I have a few questions:

1) does anyone know the differences between the two lines?
2) is it worth it to buy from a wholesaler and sacrifice service?

Thanks!
Kerry
  • Thanks for all of the input, everyone. Sounds like it's consensus that Bullet is a good line.

    Premier Bullet is very nice, pricier, but I guess I'm not as tall as you...only 6'1", so the 6'6" headroom in a regular Bullet was plenty for me. As far as the cap, I had read too many fading issues so passed on that. Other than that, they are both pretty much the same...except we had a set budget of 20K and wanted a 30 footer box and new TT, so the 285RLS was a perfect floor plan for the 2 of us plus dog. Great TT's!.. Hope you love yours like we do ours! Happy Camping!

  • I have a 2014 Bullet 285RLS which we bought in Nov 2014 as a new "leftover and got a GREAT deal! MSRP was 34,000 and walked away for 19,995 and we asked for and got a Equalizer E2 WD hitch, Reese brake controller for my truck, power tongue jack and my wife asked for and got 4 aluminum mag wheels which were standard on a 2015 but not on a 2014.. We have used 1 season and had ZERO flaws and punchlist.. I was very surprised as I expected something to be not working with all the complex systems and gizmos... but NONE! It is an ultralight which we wanted and is a 30 ft box but weighs only 5600 dry weight with 600 tongue weight. Tows beautifully and is loaded with deluxe amenities! Check them out! Buy a 2015 if you can find one now with the right floorplan and save a bundle! We saved 5000 off the identical 2015 when we bought the new 2014 in Nov 2014. They are very slow now through Holiday... so don't wait until January because sales pick up with the new RV shows starting up and you won't get the deal you will before Christmas! Good luck!
  • They are 50/50? Flip a coin. You'll be happy with either one, they are so similar in all ways. But, before settling, you really need to physically step inside the one's you are considering. When you actually step inside them, and spend some time in them, you begin to develop a karma coming from them: color, carpeting or not, texture of ceiling, cabinets, even the fabric on the furniture will set of an aurora that will either jive with you or send your skin crawling. So, before settling, make sure you actually see both. Then decide.

    Any Keystone dealer will service both, wherever you purchase it from. At least they should.
  • Passport and Bullet are both great. It use to be passport had doors and bullet did not. Only a couple differences. Passport is what keystone calls a step up. Bullet Premier is going to have more passport features.

    Both are amazing trailers. Same build. Bullet may have the folding doors. The only difference is small stuff. You will be happy with both.

    Wholesale. Like the folks in MI that sell and ship. Don't do it. All to often they deliver and go to a dealer for warranty.
    Buy from a local dealer that will give you good service and stand behind the product.

    Passport and bullet are both great.
