Keystone Bullet Premier
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 ...

1) There seem to be some common issues with this trailer (leaking shower base, bent rear axle and bad leveling jacks, non attached hoses from the factory to name a few). Is this common in all makes of TT's? Do they all have some issues?
I had the leaking shower base. I had the dealer recaulk it and that didn't solve the problem. I finally figured out, that in my trailer, the leak was from where the shower door meet the side panels. I have the glass shower enclosure. My axle and leveling jacks appear to be fine after almost a year of ownership. My hoses were also fine except one just had to be tightened where the city water connects to the trailer.
2) Do any of you regret buying this trailer and if so why?
No, I do not regret buying it. Of course there are always "other" trailers out there the minute you buy a new one and you may miss things about your old one. I am pretty happy with mine and do not regret it.
3) What size is the bed in this camper? 60x80 or 60x74? I am 6'3 so it is an issue for me.
I am 5'9" and I find it to be a little short at 60x74. I replaced the mattress with a tempurpedic and now I love sleeping in the camper.
4) Being new to trailer camping some basic questions: How long will it take a family of 4 to fill the gray and black water tanks? How hard is it to empty the tanks? Where does your power come from when camping out of a camp ground if you have no generator?
I usually only camp at full hook up locations so I cannot help you with this too much. My floorplan has two 30 gallon gray tanks so I have a little more wiggle room then the other Premiers. The black tank, for two people, will last a good 5 or 6 days. Sewer hook up and dumping is a breeze after doing it a couple of times.
5) How would you rate the build quality of this camper if you have owned other makes?I had a Starcraft and a Coachmen. I find the build quality to be pretty much the same and I am pleased with it. I have had no issues with build quality except one item. My back door was delaminating immediatly after I bought it. The dealer replaced it with a new door without any hassle.
