My vote if you want a quality Ultralight is Bullet! I have owned one since 2014 and it has not had a single malfunction of ANY component or appliance! I have also never seen a bad review on this site or Keystone owner sites! I know Keystone makes many brand names but Bullet seems to have better quality control. Check them out!
We looked very hard at the Bullet 29RKPR as the rear kitchen model with sofa and chairs is exactly what we want in our "perfect" layout. Weights fit well within the max for our current TV. They have a 2017 new model with a very nice price on the lot right now.
Issues - as we did a walk around, the hatch seal on the outside kitchen had already fallen half way off. Sure, that's an easy fix but it did not give us a good first impression for quality.
2nd, my DH felt the axel/suspension looked very weak and as it sits, the wheels on this specific unit seemed almost out of alignment with the wheel wells on the body. These together were a turn off for DH.
For me, being a larger person, the shower was just too small as I always use my own shower when we camp. If the shower had been a little larger, I may have pushed for this one.
You are smart to try to find a new "leftover" 2017 right now-- you will save 1000's over a 2018! That's what we did in Nov 2014 on a leftover 2014. The axles and springs on Bullets are fine . I have never seen a negative review on them and ours is great! Bullets feature spread axles which give you a smoother ride and better weight distribution! We have a 285 RLS which is a rear living design, 30 ft long. Bullet makes many models, some have small bathrooms, some have much bigger pass through ones that have large tub/showers. Ours is a small bathroom which when we were looking concerned me, but my DW reminded me we spend the least time there of any room in the TT which is true and the living area was much more important!. Our shower is a corner shower but is plenty big and I am 6 ft tall. because of your TV weight limits, Bullets are a good choice for you to still give you the space without too much weight. Go on line, check all their floor plans ad then try to find the one you like! Good luck Happy hunting!
