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!

Hello,

Just spent two days going through all 142 pages!

My DH returns in one month from one year in Iraq. We took a big leap while he was home for R&R and purchased the 31bhpr; we have never owned a trailer before. It is still at the dealership until he returns. We will spend the month of August traveling from Virginia to Yellowstone and back with lots of fun places in between. We will be traveling with our seven kids ages 17 down to 2. We will have 10 days from taking possession of TT until our trip. We will be hauling with a Chevy Express 3500 (15 pass. van).

Lots of great info on this forum, I've bookmarked quite a few things. I'm wondering if anyone has a short list or advice on things we should be looking for on our mini trip before the big adventure. Also, any absolute necessities I can buy beforehand (i.e. stabilizers, blocks, etc.)? We are complete newbies, but my hubby is handy. Thanks so much for all of the information!

Hey everyone. It's good to be back. Ready to do my first dewinterizing and head off to Frontiertown next week! The dealership winterized it when they replaced my bent axle. Can anyone give me a step by step quick list on doing this. I realize its not rocket science but would love to get some direction.

Also shame on me but because of a hectic fall I never covered my camper and SHE is dirty. Any suggestions on getting her to look like new?

Also what is this 303 UV Protectant everyone is talking about? Thanks and enjoy camping

Did you order a special size door from Keystone or was it a match to one that already existed? I was thinking of ordering a couple of drawer fronts for my pot drawers.. What was the process?

P.S... good job! (and me/you have the same cordless drill).

thanks.

I didn't special order. I just called my dealer and ordered through them. It is the same cabinet door that is above the sink. They just asked for the dimensions of the door I wanted to order. I am not sure if you could order any existing size or if they will make it any size you want. My dealer told me that Keystone pretty much builds them when ordered that is why it would take approx. 2 weeks. You can get it with or without hardware. It was approx 65.00 with hardware if I remember right. The hardware added only about 5.00 to the cost and included hinges, catch, and handle.

Hi I am looking at the 31bhpr and saw some older models have a water purification system at the sink that came with winter package, anyone have any pictures of the system and would it be worthwhile to add to a new unit? Thanks in advance

Ours has the water purification system but after a couple of bouts of bad water'itis over the years, we don't trust any water from the tap.

So, I installed a second water pump attached it to the 'filtered' water tap and we put a 5 gallon water cooler jug under the sink. The line runs from the jug to pump to tap. I wired it into the fuse panel on the same fuse as the normal water pump, thinking they would rarely both be on at same time.

All in all about $60.00 worth of parts and DW LOVES it!

I bought my Premier without the comfort package (winter package), but I really liked the pull out kitchen sink faucet that came with the package. My dealer switched it out for me and added it to the trailer. If you are thinking about buying a Premier maybe the dealer can add it in for you, maybe even make it part of the deal.

I changed out the existing fauce( which my wife hated) for a pullout one I bought at Menards way cheaper than an rv one. Put the faucet in Mothers Day for her :B !!!! How do you like your camper ??? We love ours !!!

Let us know how the eternabond works out. I check my roof everytime I wash it. So far so good. I did have a few spots where the caulking looked thin in other areas other than the roof. I noticed some screws holding the plastic trim on the roof edges/corners seemed loose or part of the hole was exposed. I tightened them and applied some caulking.

I have had a few bugs with my Premier but hopefully they will be all worked out before the warranty is up in July. My back door was delamintating and Keystone replaced it with no problem. My fridge needs to be fixed, it stopped working. The part was ordered 2 weeks ago so I am expecting it to come in anytime. That was also covered by Dometic.

Our fridge would not work on propane. Dealer replaced the control board ,now it runs fine.My dealer had the board on hand. By the way ,the Dometic fridge has a 2 yr warranty !!!!

It is at the dealer now, it was the core. Hopefully I will be picking it up this evening! Not costing me a penny due to the warranty 🙂

We simply hook up a water filter to the water hookup and found this easier to deal with.

This is what it looks like and you can get this a camping dealers or Walmart:

Is anyone having an issue with the outside kitchen door where the screws are pulling out of the clip that holds the piston assembly.

I am trying to come up with a repair so that the screws hold or add a plate to disperse the tension.

That's on the camper side of the hinge...our screws pulled out of the door itself...

Oh, my bad. the door side on mine is still tight.

No problem...I wasn't complaining. Every little piece of information is valuable!
