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!

Well, I did it. I put holes in the bathroom walls and I am pleased! I installed a toilet paper holder, a towel ring, and some bath towel hooks. I got the oiled bronze to match the hardware elsewhere in the camper. I noticed some Premier's had the hooks in the bathroom and mine did not. I found these at Target and thought they matched pretty good!

That looks like the exact same towel ring and location that I installed.. On our 27RBPR there was a stud directly above the plug in the bathroom so I just screwed into it. We have the matching TP holder that sits in the floor though (it's on heavy based stand). Thought it might bounce around, but so far so good.

Just found it, sabrecanuck on page 79 has pics of his fix...if that is what you were talking about. I would put a link but I'm on my phone and it's a pain!

Yup - that was me.....

I did a very close inspection of the 'fix' on the weekend and all is well.... Fairing is not cracking and no parts are bending/moving. I used to watch that fairing in the mirror all the time, now I just drive... The support, etc. was probably overkill but at least it doesn't flap in the wind!

Anyone need more pics/info let me know.

Need a little help finding a post. I've used the search page through here but can't find it.
That cheap aluminum brace on the left side of my 31 finally broke this past weekend. The one that hold the wheel well siding. Someone, who I thought was on this thread, posted a really cool fix for it. I'd like to find it if anyone knows what I'm talking about and hopefully knows where the post is.
Thanks guys!

For those who installed a toilet paper holder and a towel ring in the bathroom, did you just screw it into the wallboard or did you do something else. It seems rather thin but capable of holding the weight of the fixtures. I figured I would ask before making any holes.
I did install a TV in the bedroom but I was able to go into a stud to hold the weight. I cant find one near where I want to locate the bathroom fixtures.
thanks!

We have over the door hanger for towels etc. On the side of the cabinet I've a 3m hook to hold hand towel. On the self below the bathroom counter we just place the tp there along side some towels. I'm still to shy to put holes in the wall.

Yesterday it was raining here in MA for most of the day. When I went out to do some stuff on the inside of the trailer, I noticed some water leaking from the bottom of the window frame on both entry doors. I thought I remembered seeing something here on the forum about that so I tried doing a search but I couldn't find the topic.

I would bring it back to the dealer but there are two issues with that. (1) the dealer is 4 hours away. (2) I have a week long trip planned starting this weekend and I don't want it tied up at the dealer.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I assume it is probably some insufficient caulking. I will probably see if I can remove the trim on the windows and look into it.

Thanks for the ideas!

I placed a piece of scrap wood (1x6) behind the TP holder inside the cabinet and screwed through the wood in to the backer board.

As a follow-up to my installation of the Winegard TV Signal Meter, I had a chance to try it at our annual site. Our site is a located far from a major city and there are no over-the-air TV signals available at all. I used to joke with my wife that you could tell who the newbies were because they were the ones who had their antennas up :B.

No more! I used the signal meter to do a search and was able to see that there was a signal that seemed fairly steady from one direction. It was below the threshold that would normally be displayed on the TV so I boosted the gain to its maximum and was able to boost it enough to pull something it. To my surprise it was a Canadian station. The picture was ghosted and not very clear at all, but the sound came in very well. I was able to watch a show and understand everything that was going on as well as the evening news.

Granted, the signal faded in and out at times and disappeared during the day, but it showed me how the signal meter can let me know what is around when previously I saw nothing.

I've always heard that as well, sometimes if I take a long shower water will run around there and down the side of the tub to the floor right beside the bathroom door. It might do that because I have the TT leaned that way a little? I noticed Virtual Garage has little corner pieces on his tub, I still haven't found those anywhere, I haven't looked all that hard though.

Those corner shields don't really help in the Premier because we always get water on the floor if we're not extra careful.

I think it's because the Premier's shower curtain is particularly small. It was smaller (both height and width) than the one on our old trailer and it lacks a way to keep the curtain close to the wall. Our old trailer shower curtain had Velcro strips at each of the curtain that would attach the to shower wall and it did a really good job of keeping the water in. I'm thinking of gluing on some Velcro strips on each end of the Premier's curtain so that I can get the same performance.

Right now, because our aftermarket shower head sprays at a higher angle and most of the water hits the back wall, I find that if I leave the shower curtain open at the front a couple of inches so that more of the curtain is at the back, hardly any water gets out.
