I was going to suggest a Keystone Bullet--we've loved ours. I've seen a few used ones out there on the market but they were new in 2008-2009 so I doubt you'll find one as low as $10,000.

krobbe, I'd be interested to know how well your used 2009 Bullet has held up--any issues or does it appear to have "aged" well?

Andy, I've cleaned places the previous owner probably never knew about and have tested all the equipment. I haven't come across anything more than a couple burned out bulbs which I've replace almost all with LED. The frame around the wheel wells had some rust but I eliminated that. The roof still looks great and the windows are leak free. The interior upholstery looks great. I'm pretty sure I got a great value. The mods I've done to date are: Installed some new takeoff rims and tires the dealer had sitting on the floor. Enlarged the under bed lift board and new piano hinge to support a new standard queen memory foam 8" mattress. LED panels for all the ceiling fixtures. Replaced the Estone stereo with a Jensen I got on clearance at CW for 69bucks. Replaced all the speakers with PolkAudio 2-ways. Mounted 19"TV in the back bunkhouse. And added a power tongue jack. My next project is to add outlets after my son's pinewood derby.(The axles make the race) Sorry, got carried away...

Good to hear krobbe that the 09 Bullet has worked out well for you. We're hoping ours ages well for the next 6-7 years. We've been happy with the quality so far. I'm moving towards LED bulbs and bed-lift hydraulic arms this coming season along with roof vent covers if the camper capital improvement budget holds together! If you don't have one already, I'd strongly recommend ditching the stock cheap bathroom exhaust fan and going with a Fantastic Fan or the Vortex. Our dealer included one in our purchase and its a world of difference. They even went with the upgraded Fan model with the thermostat which allows for air flow on hot days when the interior temperature rises during driveway storage.

And I completely agree on the axles making the difference for the pinewood derby cars--we've got our races coming up in 3 weeks. I've got the graphite and sand paper ready to make sure the axles spin smoothly!
