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!

Hey everyone,

Been a while and saddened to see Gary and Net and David go. Thanks for all your contributions. My main mod for the spring will be the Steady fast system to reduce sway. Heard a lot of good things about it. Anyone have any experience with it? I'm also wanting to gain the courage to try and take off the back of the rear TV so I can hook up a DVD player. I'm probably missing a lot but thats all I can think about right now. Cheers!

I have a different model so I cannot help you with the TV. I am in the middle of adding "B" speakers to the radio. I slid the radio out and there are wire outputs for a pair. In the 28RLPR there are "A" speakers inside near the back, and "C" speakers on the exterior. I have the new front "B" speakers hooked up and they work great, I just have to finish off the speaker grill. I will post pics when done.

Also, I have never liked the U-dinettes. I see the new 2012 Premier's all now have booth style which I prefer. I took my screw gun out to the center section of the dinette this weekend. The whole center section will come out in one piece easily transforming it into a booth style. Even the cusions still fit. All you need to do after is get a bigger tabletop. I did chicken out and put the center section back in, I guess I am not ready to do that yet! haha.

ROFLOL so far it all looks great! Thanks for the picture.

Someone posted this link in the mods section but I thought I would repost here. It is a site that you can have cabinet doors made in the event you cannot get the size you need from Keystone. They are unfinished so you would have to match the stain. You can basically design them right on the website. I was able to emulate the top and bottom cabinet doors quite closely when I was playing around on their website. It even quotes the price. Might be an option for the bottom of the both dinette to install the drawers. Here is the site:

Well guys this past year has been quite an adventure for my family and I, but regretably our needs have changed an we are out of the camping life for now 😞
We have moved, and our family has grown. I will also be going away for a year soon, and a camper is no fun unless you are using it. On a better note, we got really close to our pay off when sold it! The Miller's wish you all happy adventures and the best of luck.

Good luck to you and thanks!

We bought our 27RBPR this spring and camped pretty much every weekend this year, mostly within 2-4 hours of home but a couple of road trips.. Everything on the unit is great..
But then I went to winterize it and give it a good cleaning and noticed a crack in the fiberglass from the lower left corner of the front drivers side clearance light moving up and towards the center of the trailer.... Sorry pic isn't too clear, but it is the best of the dozen I took.....

I haven't talked to dealer yet, but here's hoping they are going to fix... I actually think FIXING the crack may be preferrable to replacing the entire front nose cone.... I think the potential for leaking is less that way so I am going to see what they come up with.

You guys may want to get up on ladder and check yours as well (you can't see it from ground level).

Sorry guys for the previous blank post 😞

SabreCanuck have you followed up on this with your dealer ? Also wondering has anyone else had this issue out there. Reason I am asking is I have noticed a very very small spiderweb cracking on the front edge of my nose cone at about eye height, should I be concerned ? Thanks all.

Nope - I didn't... I'm not sure I'm going to until later this year. We bought the trailer in the U.S. and local dealership hasn't been too warm and fuzzy so if I do anything I might just get it fixed locally. I'm not too worried about it yet.

Thank you for your participation in this group. I wish you enough and more! Thank you for your service.

Couldn't agree more--all the best to you and your family!

OK, as promised... Step 2 of winter mods complete...
Turned pantry shelves into slideout pantry.
Used 2 pairs of full slide drawer hardware rated at 100 lbs/pair.
For those that care... Weight of stock shelves/support brackets = 5 lb X 3 = 15 lbs. Weight of this unit = 23 lbs with all hardware and shelf unit.
The difference is approximately same weight as rum bottle.. Working on lightening that up right now :):):)

Did you have to do anything special to attach the drawer hardware to the pantry walls? OR how in the hecko did you do this! 🙂

Well the pantry is 15" wide but the door is only 12" wide.
There is a 1/4" lip on the right hand side and a 2" lip on the left.
I just used wood 'fillers' behind the slide hardware because I didn't want to cut the lip of the pantry and really mess with the design just in case it didn't work out.
The way it is now if the whole thing doesn't work out, I put everything back the way it was and only have screw holes to fix.

I have always thought that travel trailers with carpet in the bedrooms looked and felt cozier. So, I added my own. I just got a 5x8 bounded area rug and cut it to size. I also made a cut out for the heater vent. Cost only 30.00 for the rug. I didn't vacuum before taking the pics so please ignore the fuzz, it looks better now! haha.

A really great idea about the carpet. I imagine it helps with the cooler nights!

[SabreCanuck]

Thanks guys, I thought of having each shelf slide out but that would have meant twice as much hardware...

Anyway, it's all done now.. I MIGHT attach the door to the actual sliding unit but then I'd have to worry about making sure it can't slide out going down the road. The way it is now the door will still hold the unit from sliding out on those realy bumpy roads (as well the as self-closing slide hardware).

Time will tell... is it summer yet??
