Keystone Bullet Premier

[CampinEarls]

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 and bunkhouse....that's about it.

Maybe because this one is so new, But i'm having a hard time finding any reviews or testimonials about them.

This is our first TT, i've rented a couple times and that makes us realize we want our own, we've been researching for months and have narrowed it down to this one.

Is there anyone out there that has any experience with the Bullet line that can give me their opinions?

Thanks!

I read this about the recall but it didn't include the Bullet Premier. Of course there could be other reports on the internet or another update that I didn't see. In our TT it looks like it's Model 34 not 35. Here is one page that list the TT's that it includes.

Clicky for recall

Happy Trails!

i thought my stove and oven were suburban not atwood. i will have to check, but mine was built in june so it is out of the affected date range...barely

This is the first I've heard of the recall. I haven't been notified by my dealer or Atwood. Doing a quick search I found info saying there was a recall affecting the gas supply to the oven on Atwood stoves built between July and Sept 2010. Hopefully, that date range has not expanded, because right now I'm safe. We don't use the oven anyway, but it would be a pain to have to tow the Premier back to the dealer.

Let us know if your dealer (who is probably the same as mine!) gives you any more details.

Hi all, has any heard about the Atwood 35 series stove recall for Keystone trailers, it sounds like it happened in the fall so I think I am ok with my trailer as it was only completed in December.Also haven't heard anything from dealer, I think I will drop them an email anyways just to be sure. Just thought I would let it be known in case some of your units out there are part of the recall and you don't know about it. If you goggle Atwood stove recall, you will get lots of hits explaining the situation.

MartyMoose and Psuedopimp, thanks. That is better than I thought, but I'm a lead foot who used to tow my boat at 90 counting gallons per mile instead of MPG.

Feeling better my truck is up for the task and the far-less-expensive "squeak-a-lizer" will work.

sorry yes it is the 5.3L 4x4 with 3.73 gears

I too, will be at max capacity with my Expedition EL. Because of that I'm taking a page out of the Virtual Garage playbook and I'm passing on the squeak a-lizer and going with the Pro Pride hitch with the Maxx Brake controller.

5.3L? How's your MPG?

Got the post about the ball size. Thanks. How about the trailer frame where the Equalizer bolts on to, is it 6 inch or 8 inches? I think the front of my starcraft is 6 inches. Have to measure.
Thanks in advance.

i was going to ask if anyone has put an inverter in. if you have details would be cool. i would like picture of the install. there is information overload on the net and this site.

Call me crazy, but made the plunge and plunked down some money on a 31bhpr this week. Last of the comfort packages I could find, but price seems a bit higher than most on this site paid.

Taking the family for our very first camping trip next weekend. We'll get a rental unit (better to make sure they actually like camping before signing the paperwork), but this Premier is the only double slide I'm comfortable pulling with my Yukon.

It seems the overall opinion is that this is a good unit. Love to hear from the the naysayers. Anyone dislike this unit?

[garysol]

Maybe use a spring below the clevis pin to keep everything tight until you feel the need to remove them

[psuedopimp]

that is how i am going to do it. that way if i think they may hit i can remove them, other wise i will just leave them attached.
