Love my Keystone Bullet 285RLS TT

Andy F-- I agree..If the roof is not walkable because of the low weight.. so be it! I can deal with it.

Doug-- Thanks for the feedback..Yes- Holly Shores is expensive at $72 a night.. we have a tradition of staying there but most of the amenities are for families with small kids which we do not have either.. It is just the 2 of us camping..We might check out your Delaware location.. good value.. Thanks!

I was told the same thing about Bullet roofs not being walk-able by corporate staff at Keystone. I contacted them to get a "solid" answer after we purchased ours and I got different answers from different sources. While it makes it somewhat interesting to access roof vents and do maintenance on the roof, I'm guessing it adds to the low weight and tow-ability we enjoy. Some folks we met in Florida had a comparable Forest River Coachmen Liberty Express trailer and they had an empty weight that was almost 1,000 pounds heavier than ours which is 5100 pounds. At this stage in our RV'ing life, I prefer lighter over heavier.

Us Keystone owners suffer through some bashing and name calling occassionally but for as many trailers as they sell there will be some bad ones here and there. I love my entry level, low budget, value priced, cheapo, TT and have done so for 10 years with minimal problems.

I haven't had my Bullet back there since I bought it, which is a good thing. :)

I did not know that the Bullet roof is not walkable, so thanks for the heads up. I haven't actually walked on the roof yet, but used a stepladder like you mentioned.

I have not been to Holly Shores, but heard it is nice. The issue I have with most of the Cape May area CGs is that they are really crowded in the summer, and they are VERY expensive (upwards of $80/night). Most charge extra for kids, and have lots of activities, etc. When we camp, we use the TT as a base for touring and exploring the area, and we are not in the CG that much. And our kids are in their 20s now. So other than the pool, we don't use the amenities of these types of CGs, so it isn't worth the extra money. We'd rather stay at a no-frills type place and pay half the price. I like to limit my cost to $40-$45 per night. In the cooler months we'll even stay at state CGs for $20/night.

But if you have a family with younger kids/grandkids, I can see the value in this being the annual summer vacation trip. It is probably still much cheaper than renting shore house or going on a cruise, Disney, etc.

This past summer our family of four stayed a week at Delaware Seashore State Park, with a full hook up site, for $38/night. And it is a very short walk to the ocean beach - no hassle packing up the car, driving, or trying to find and pay for parking. It doesn't have any activities or amenities to speak of, but great for swimming, boating and fishing if you are into those things.

Hey Doug-- Did you know the roof of our Bullets is NOT walkable? Dealer told me it was when I bought it... but when putting my new cover on last Dec I felt the roof flexing under my 200 lbs so I called the factory and the tech said Bullets are definitely NOT walkable roofs! I informed my dealer's general Mgr when I took my TT in 2 weeks ago and he was surprised and said they didn't know that about Bullets1 Pretty scary. So now I put on and take my cover off with a step ladder...No wonder Bullets have no roof ladders! What were you told about your roof?

Haha... That is a coincidence! Have you had it in for service in the 2 years? If so, how do you rate their service Dept? Mine is there for first time since I picked it up new 1 year ago only because the roof hole repair they are doing... 5" hole right through the slide roof and ceiling inside and it will be a $2000 repair! Thankfully my deductible is only 100! When I brought it in 2 weeks ago I was amazed at how huge their inventory is right now.. especially at the slowest time of year for sales... Looked like all the 2016's were there.. They had a row of Bullets as far as you could see! Must have been a good 2015 and they are planning even bigger! I had posted before as to whether you ever camped at Holly Shores in Rio Grande? If not, it is a 5 star! Highly recommend! Voted best in NJ! Have been camping there for over 30 years! Check their web site!

Coincidentally, that's where we bought ours! :)

Andy-- Great pics you have posted of all your camping adventures with your Bullet! Great looking rig! Ours is same size except has 2 rocker recliners in rear in place of bunks. Our kids are on their own and we have 4 Grandkids! Glad to hear you have had 3 seasons with over 100 nights with no big problems! We have only used our 2014 for 10 nights so far but look forward to a lot more in 2016! It has operated perfectly and is easy to tow with our E2 equalizer and vintage 97 Ford Expedition. We too want to go out West with ours! Have never been to those great sites1 Hope we can follow in your tracks! Have a great 2016! Maybe we will cross paths! Tim & Ramona & Scruffy

You motivated me to get some of our more recent photos finally uploaded!

RamRider-- Good to hear more good news about Bullet TT's. You have some serious miles on yours in only 2 years! Happy and safe camping!
