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!

Perhaps my best mod ever, a suspension upgrade! Towing now is so smooth, especially with a full grey water tank (not sure why I didn't think of a full waste water tank sooner).

Excellent! Wish it wasn't so costly to add paint on all these campers.

The finished product, my new front decal:

Keystone failed to budge an inch on our defective and faded and cracked front decal. So we are done with Keystone and Thor on any future purchases. I won't support a company that refuses to support their product reasonably and help out their customers.

I have removed the defective decal and I have ordered a beautiful American flag and Eagle decal for our front cap. I think it will look gorgeous. Will post pics after it arrives and I install it.

Other than our experience with Keystone customer service, we are still love our '12 Bullet. In our 7th season of camping and it has held up very well with good maintenance and good care and long trips to Florida and Yellowstone.

Just wanted to say hi, been awhile. This fall I traded my 2011 Premier for a 2018 Premier 30RIPR. I got 2 trips squeezed in before winterizing. Cant wait for April!

Seems like I remember someone on this thread say they ordered a set of graphics, I can’t find the post, anyone recall that?

Well I spent the weekend rebuilding the door. No more wood in there now, I used 1" thick dow corning super tuff rigid foam board, put two aluminum channels in the foam they where 2 1/2" wide by 46" long with a 1/2" intrusion into the foam. A sheet of white aluminum for the inside and reused the filon siding for the outside. Glued it all together with 3m 90 industrial adhesive. Less than a $100 in material and 1 1/2 days of work. oh and sealed up the outside channel with dap 230 clear sealant. Door is lighter than factory and if anything more rigid. Looks good and works great Now if any water gets in there it will not rot. Only concern is the struts are a little strong for the door now but I will keep my hand on it when opening. Now to seal the crack in the toilet.

Awesome!
I still need to fix mine, it's holding with the long brace I've screwed onto in it for the left side bracket, but it's just a matter of time before that gives.

Yes. I've got a 2011 of the same model and mine is the exact same way on the left side as you view it from the outside. Dealer wanted over $500 to fix it with a new door. I bought a 6' one by one to hold it up. Much cheaper fix. My guess is that water intrusion on this piece is a big problem.

The dealer suggested that I drill thru the door and place lag bolts. I think that would work, but you'll see the bolts on the outside. I decided to go with the easiest and cheapest fix.

Anyone have a problem with their outdoor kitchen door on the 31bhpr? My hinge is cracking last trip the mount ripped off the door and I found the wood inside rotting, now I have the door torn apart trying to find a hinge then rebuild the door. Also just found a crack in the porcelain toilet. Not a relaxing trip I had planned.

Congrats on the new tires!
Good tip about the recall work.

I am going with 14 inch load range D tires after crunching numbers and taking into consideration all of our cross country trips with our original 14 inch load range C tires and rims without any issues at all. I would really have liked to move up to 15 inch rims and tires but too many unknowns right now with a large mess and external investigation with my employer. Still loving our Bullet as we begin season number 6. It looks and feels brand new!

New tires were installed today. I went from a max load of 1760 pounds per tire up to over 2000 pounds per tire. Very happy after towing it home with the new tread!

On a side note, I had the A/C wiring Keystone recall work done today at my local Keystone dealer. Great service staff there at Pleasureland in St Cloud (long time local dealer--thank you guys for your help) who told me it paid to have them do the work regardless of how simple it was because the warranty work gets documented in the manufacturer database should I ever sell it or should something ever happen with the wiring and A/C unit.

Unfortunately, my local dealer Pleasureland can't find a cheap replacement front Bullet decal to replace my defective one and Keystone won't return my calls. I plan on removing the defective decal along with any "Keystone" company name on my camper. They have lost my future business.
