3:06 I think that even a newcomer to camping would understand that maybe just clearly mention that it folds down and move on 3:06 !! Great job Mr. nerd.
Good morning Josh, I really like the TV set up this way. I know I lose cabinet space, but it makes watching TV much more enjoyable. I like you showing the bunk in both ways because some don't have a lot of room or doors to the outside. The pass through under the sink is a great idea that everyone will steal next year. Squirrel moment as you were filming this, we were really hoping you filmed the full paint models we saw in the background. Thanks again for another great video.
We have a 2022 keystone passport 221bhwe. It has the pass through waste basket storage under the sink. We absolutely love it. You can actually fit a real size trash bin under there. This bullet is very similar in layout to ours. For a family of 5, it covers a lot of bases (aside from the questionable build quality).
I like what bullet is putting out. Would love to see the next size up bunkhouse or even the largest 1/2 ton bunkhouse they make. Seriously considering one of these.
Depending on the truck this might be pushing it for some half-tons. Though they do have a few slightly larger that MAY work depending on how the numbers even out
This one definitely goes on the list for our family - teen friendly, pet friendly and plenty of lower storage (I can't reach above my head due to a disability). Nice trailer!
Depending on your kid count and tow vehicle capacity, check out the 282, 2870, 284 qb's. 33ft OAL, great road mode, 4 bunks, otherwise basically this bunkhouse.
@@topflight250 2870 and 2840...a slight variation...are Bullet Crossfires. The 287 and 282 are Passports. But the interior of our Crossfire (the 2870) looks EXACTLY like the bullet shown here, less the barreled ceilings.
It looked like one of those strip lights was already separating from the ceiling and being right in front of the tv would probably cause glare issues when the tv is on.
I really like this unit. The decor looks nice and they make very good use of the space they have. That color palette really looks nice. To answer your questions up front no you don’t need to show the bed down. We get it. And no I don’t like those front cap lights. We never use ours as they just disturb other campers and attract bugs. I love the water pane and swing down griddle. Great engineering. Love the fact it’s a torsion suspension and BAL frame. Love the very solid cargo capacity. The biggest downside I see is a lack of kitchen storage. If you move the entry door back to I front of the bunk and put an entry door to the bedroom on the left side of the trailer you could have more cabinet storage on that wall. I’d also like to see a front drop frame as that pass through is a little tighter than I’d prefer. Bathroom storage is also and area that needs some help as they don’t have the usual towel cubbies in there. Maybe narrow the shower a bit and put them on the outside wall?
First off, Cousin Garrett nailed it again on this one. Yeah, you don't have to demonstrate both bunks both ways if you have one shown each way and mention it. The colors aren't bad at all, kinda nice. I don't remember commercials about deep voiced gingivitis, but I do remember the the Cavity Creeps. Thanks for another fun video Uncle Josh and Garrett!
I love a private bedroom/cargo bunk layout. Not for the kids, for all my stuff. Re tv in the camper, I'll have the news on when I make breakfast. But I only really watch TV in the camper when I'm in bed. So in this camper I'd probably just be using the swivel feature at night.
We just picked up a 2024 2870qb with torsion suspension. I've parked it twice, and absolutely love the better turning radiuourver our previous leaf springs.
I really like this one! Don’t need the outside kitchen but whatever. Room to plug in CPAP by bed is a plus. Love the rest. Flip the bottom bunk turn it into a Birdroom and away we go.
We just bought an accuslide and I had concerns, too. But...I'm very handy and after watching some repair/ adjustment videos am no longer concerned in the least. Just a little more maintenance than a rack and pinion.
I noticed lights in bedside closets. Nice! I like this. It's just the right size and just enough sleeping area. I have a 22rb and sometimes wish I had a bunk, so I don't have to use the dinette as a bed when my sister camps with us.
They have incorporated many features and made a very nice unit. The only thing I can see that they have missed are anti-lock brakes. They have really stepped up their game. Great job, Uncle Josh.
Just wanted to let you know love your videos, feel bad been watching for about a year I think but I realized the other day I hadn't subscribed, sorry. Would love a video of the fr vibe 3400bh. Also a video talking about the difference between stick and tin vs laminate campers, maybe talk about the difference in the suspension and slides good overall for people to be aware of. Thanks for all your work!!
I'm actually factory ordering this tomorrow, Not mentioned is you can change out the dinette for Theater seating from factory, I'm doing that since I'm Single traveler, also upgrading to the 220-watt solar, getting the 50 amp prep service and will come prepped for a 2nd 15K A/C
I don't need the outdoor speakers or grill and not a fan of the caramel contrast colour but everything else is great! This one goes in the keep pile.Thanks Josh.
Thanks Nerd! Thumbs up for the torsion suspension, the drop down griddle, and the strong water heater, although i prefer tank water heaters myself. Thumbs down for the Accu slide. I think you should just flip up the cargo bunk. We know its a bunk. That way, if it isnt flipped up, we know it isnt a cargo bunk!
❤WOW 😲 What a beautiful trailer 🤩 and she's All updated and nice ☺️ I really like the contemporary styling and colors. Would have liked an option to go full battery and solar and electric with no propane for cooking or heating. It's plausible.
I couldn’t find anything I didn’t like about it! Another thing I do like that you didn’t really touch in is that the large countertop extension is actually level with the countertop. That’s fairly uncommon and a big plus in my book. 👍
I would need a slide topper because I live in NW Oregon. That means all kinds of trees everywhere you go. I hate tv in the kitchen. Need to have splatter protection on the side of the cooktop and not just on the back. I like seeing each one in road mode and at destination mode. I need to see stuff like how the grill in the outside kitchen needs to go down. How else am I gonna know or remember? Full disclosure is always best in my view.
the accu-slide is an automatic disqualifier. I thought you were doing a Bobcat Goldthwait impression for a moment. I haven't seen a faucet like that before (except in videos), so not sure what to think about it. Poor kitchen storage, but the bottom bunk could be repurposed, as long as you are careful about weight distribution. Showing the bottom bunk flipped up is all you need to show. First time I've seen the pass-through under the sink, clever idea.
Very nice decor! The marble look headboard! Was tired of the bead board look. My pet peeve is the kitchen sink faucet. I would carry something in and whack into that first thing. Silly right? Solar-good! Will there be no slide version? Mr. Nerd, your videos are always great!
I have a 2020 Bullet 21RBS, I really like it. So far the only thing I don’t care for is the slide out operating mechanism, the cable system. The trailer has way better insulation and the better furnace for extended camping.
Josh, this camper layout is what I’ve been screaming for! Unfortunately I see a couple of failures by Keystone here. One being the BAL Accu slide system. Not sure why they didn’t go with the much improved BAL Exact slide system. The other is no Azdel. I know Keystone and GD rep had told me that they’ve went back to luaun lamination due to better fiberglass binding….but I don’t see the point in a composite floor and luaun side walls. Especially when Azdel has been used and proven by so many other brands. Just my $0.02.
I really like that they’re using a flip up for extra counter space in the kitchen. I understand about the fold up bed for cargo space. I kinda need to know when there’s NOT charging capability in the bunks. I like that there’s the drawers on the off side of the kitchen so as not to waste space, or feel like you were doing an enema on a cow to reach things right at the back. The u dinette is my favourite type of dinette, if you’re going to have one. I don’t remember battle beasts, it was all about ghostbusters and turtles for my son 😂😂 Do you think the tv would ever work on the door, to save storage space? I think it might be a stupid idea, but just spitballing. I still think one folding down from the ceiling isn’t used enough. It’s great they’ve managed a decent bathroom, I like those retractable doors on the shower, I get concerned about the glass ones when you could be going over some very rough terrain in you’re stealth camping. The bedroom is great for storage and has some great flat surface space at both side of the beds. It’s really unusual to see window sills in the campers. It’s a nice decorative touch. I’m in 2 minds about the lighting at the front. I don’t mind it either way, I guess, maybe we should see it in the dark? I’m surprised that there’s not ABS on all these rigs, they’re big! The hobo door is quite big, great for stowing things away, but I hope it has good locks😂 #rvnerdherd #nerdherd
We own a 2022 Bullet Premier 23RBPR for 1 full season now, 2000 miles so far, we just love it, nice « premier » features, like the round ceiling, outside kitchen, ladder, full fiberglass front cap (frame, roof, and front cap are very different than the competition), roller blinds, and many more. The down side, Chinese tire, regular suspension, no Azdel walls…
Adding my two cents, Josh you don't need to explain that the bunk folds up if you show it in that format so we can see how big the space is and if there's a door, or tie downs, etc. I agree, some items are pretty self explanatory
Really like this unit.. 5400lbs dry, slide out full dinet, bunks with a back door plus outdoor kitchen setup.. and a full queen for a guy like me at 6ft tall is fantastic. Check's so many boxes for me, and I think the wife would love the colors and finishes to boot. But Josh, $37.5k is just too much money for families like mine to upgrade from my 2017 Grey Wolf. At this point, to trade into a new camper.. I'd have to downgrade on practically everything to keep things affordable. And since we only camp 4 to 5 times per season up north, I just can't justify it in my head.
For clarity the $37.5k is full blown MSRP -- we don't sell for MSRP nor do we pack on hidden fees onto our customers Try giving Karlos call at 765-620-9737 at our Indiana store. He can get you a discounted sale figure on one of these
Hey Josh, lol hope you’re getting some rest in between some of these trailer videos, buddy. Don’t need you to pass out or fall down the stairs bud lol but if you do try to get it on camera. That would be a good blooper.😂. I can say for sure I really wish they would take off the corner edges in the bedroom so that you don’t end up whacking your head, trying to get out of bed. I do really like the extra shelf on the side of the bed being that I have a CPAP. As for the pass-through under the sink, not sure about that. And the reason I say that is because I’m not sure whether the amount of water or weight of the water would not be real supported over time by the pass-through. In the living room I would definitely toss out the dinette and put in a theater seat option if it was available. Also would be lovely if there was a slightly bigger TV. The old farts need bigger lol. And of course never been a big bunk fan, so I would probably make a small office out of that. Other than that, not a bad rig. Keep rockin Josh , after your nap 😴
Like it. So is this the minimum level bullet? Love the open living. Wish it had more door side windows. The bathroom is ok. The storage is great. The huge open doors to the bedroom is great. The bed room is great. Thank you man!
This trailer seems absolutely perfect for my wife, the puppy dog, and I (with my granddaughter coming occasionally). The only concern I have is the slide mechanism. I've heard some with no issues whatsoever, and I've heard to avoid them at all cost. Just curious as to what your opinion is on them. This will be our first trailer, but I am a bit of a handyman. We just don't want to be swayed not to get what seems to be a great trailer for us because of Keystone's decision to use a cable slide.
In my experience issues with cable slides are quite rare. The thing is if a cable slide fails, then it immediately becomes a MASSIVE issue for a customer It becomes very visible and gains a lot of discussion quickly But I think people should purchase according to their peace of mind. If you like this layout but the cable slide gives you pause, then consider this model th-cam.com/video/cQbx848UDdU/w-d-xo.html with a similar layout but using a rack & pinion slide
@JoshtheRVNerd Thank you so much for the response. It's really appreciated! And, thank you for the alternative suggestion. I think that, if it does go bad on us (which I'm also finding to be rather rare), I have enough know-how to get it fixed. The Bullet seems more and more what we're looking for. Thanks again for the help, Josh!
Quick question. Are the outdoor fridges on a lot of models with the outside kitchens running while you're driving, or do you need to be plugged in for them to run?
1). But I do need a manic wand. Either or you need one to wave it for it to manically appear in my driveway for free 😂. 2). Nice unit. Thinking that perhaps my 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 H.D. could pull it nicely. 3) I’d say definitely good for a first time camper; but the question remains, is it the second camper purchased the first time around? 4) I’d like to hear from anyone in the class who has purchased this unit (or similar) and still has it and has plans on being one and done because it it is their second camper purchased the first time around. 5) I guess I like the new editing format for the weights and measurements Mr. Editor 👍 37). Have a great weeks guys.
That seems fairly impressive as a possible 2509s competitor. I could see how they maybe included the Accu-Slide to help with the lacking road mode, but could they have used an Exact Slide instead (that I understand is less prone to problems), especially considering the weight of the full fridge in the slide? Hopefully the cooling and ventilation for the people in the bunks is okay (?). I'd like some access to a water faucet on the camp side near the kitchen that I didn't see (but might be there). It generally looks quite well set-up and equipped though.
Super similar layout. Kind of trading the shorter length and Murphy bed of the Rockwood for a private bedroom and true queen + longer length on this bullet
I AM 39 SECONDS INTO THIS VIDEO AND I ALREADY WANT TO SAY KUDOS TO BULLET. THE OPEN SPACE UNDER THE BOTTOM BUNK WOULD BE GREAT FOR MY FUR BABIES. I HAVE ABSOLUTLE NO PLACE FOR THEM IN MY WILDWOOD. I AM IN THE PROCESS NOW OF LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TEAR OUT MY BED AND REBUILD IT WITH AN AREA UNDER IT WHERE THEY CAN SLEEP.
I’m eyeing a 330BKQ just because of the layout and suspension system. I like your format but if you want to omit things like outlets, I’m totally ok with that. If they could change one thing, it would be to use rack & pinion slide instead of cables. Thanks Josh, hope you found a 330BKQ on that garage area 😎
I understand the bunk cargo concept I actually think I understand the tv industry know lol. My question is quality wise list your type 5 quality builders, and what would you recommend for someone who is on a budget?
Apologies - I am not trying to be difficult but the question needs a little more scope and scale It's hard to offer insights specific to you without more information like the vehicle in question, how many people you're sleeping, etc Our local folks at the stores can definitely assist you with a search like that Otherwise I can only offer super generic answers like "Rockwood maybe?" but I'm not even sure if they have the right kind of floor plan for you or what your idea of 'on a budget' means vs someone else's
Overall it is a pretty good floorplan I like the cargo access door as it will allow me to load up my generator and pellet grill into the trailer easier, along with getting the kids bags into the top bunk without opening the slide. The road mode is OK but losing bathroom access is a sort of a mark against it. I would like to see it with a sofa vs the dinette. One question I have is the storage behind the TV. It looks like there is a small amount - would it work for storing something like a Nintendo switch & games? Maybe a portable DVD player and movies for those rainy days? I also wonder about the size of the griddle that comes with the unit?
Not to be nit-picky but there is one too many colors, not quite cohesive. They either need to paint the cabinets to match the gray backsplash and table or get a backsplash that has the olive color of the cabinets in it. The table should be the color of the raw wood running throughout the camper.
I really like this floorplan, BUT to me the dinette only is a deal breaker. If I could option in a couch of some sort it would be perfect. Too many brands don't offer a couch in this layout. We don't need the table but a couch would make this a 10/10 for our family.
I like floorplan but would like just a booth with two chairs as a solo female camper. As for the bunks just give me an empty room for my dogs. And for seating would like theater seats. As regards slide system would be willing to pay more for good slide system. Think I will wait for 2026 to see what manufacturers have improved their campers based on campers suggestion. I am a woman with no mechanical skills so want my first year in RV to be nonproblematic.
How tall are you because saying there is plenty of head room your height is definitely a factor in that statement. I'm 6'5" so lots of head room to me usually means minimal head room
I love the nice bathroom with a porcelain toilet and a shower door👍and I was so hopeful that I might see multiple comfortable seating “options”, but instead they just force an outdated 1950’s diner booth dinette on everyone😩
I like this, would consider it if not for a few misses. That slide is way too big for anything other than rack and pinion IMO. Those lights on the front are unnecessary and I doubt they last very long. Location of water heater sucks. This seems like a higher end trailer to me so those basic crappy wheels make no sense. Love everything else including the interior decor choices, suspension, slam latch, norco frame, bathroom door closed off at the top, and more. Thanks Josh!
I like this, but prefer the center tv with swing around for bed or living area, prefer rack and pinion slides myself and just dont care for that olive color at all, I'd prefer wallpaper or wood panelling, but im old school.
I do not. Even if your vehicle was unmodified it wouldn't have the capacities to handle this RV legally as the RV's gvwr already exceeds your max tow rating. The modifications may eat further into its ability to safely tow and haul in exchange for the other benefits like the off-road functions they provide
The layout of this trailer is very functional and roomy at the same time . Great for a family of 4 . A couple of negatives I see . I am assuming the fridge is a 12 volt compressor type . That sucks for boon docking . Would need 600 watts of solar in the Pacific Northwest just to keep that running. Even then it could be sketchy you would make it through a weekend. Don’t like seeing a heavy appliance like a fridge mounted in the slide. Has to be hard on the slide hardware bouncing down the road when closed. Lastly l don’t know how any buyer would accept that horrible upholstery work on the dinette cushions.The fabric is all loose so it looks like it 10 years old off the showroom floor!!!
Fridges in slides don’t give me hesitation personally A lot of folks worry about fridges but not pantries in slides which can weight just as much or even more That fridge has more anchoring and support in the slide than the seating really But it is a 12v fridge. That’s really become the default and often only fridge offered by makers
I love that your new editor has tapped into your warped sense of humor and then taking it up a notch
He didn’t realize he was allowed to actually have fun
Once I told him it’s SUPPOSED to be fun he really came to life
3:06 I think that even a newcomer to camping would understand that maybe just clearly mention that it folds down and move on 3:06 !! Great job Mr. nerd.

Will do. Ty
TLC and DMX references? I'm sold!
The references are too legit to quit

This is almost the same thing as a older Bullet 243bh just in a Bullet Crossfire. Very nice! Lots of changes from the 2024 2290bh.
Yeah theyve been refreshing some models but that sometimes requires new number designators
Thanks for the review been waiting for you to cover this model, looking to buy this camper this coming spring.
You're welcome, it's a good one!
Thanks, Nerd 🤓 🍻.

That cargo bunk funk makes me want to put the top bunk in the trunk😅
Thought it was a winner but guess it got skunked
Really like this one! Thanks for mentioning the slide system. The accu slide would keep me personally from purchasing. Keep it up Nerd
You're welcome, it's an important thing to note.
We just bought an accuslide and I had concerns, too. But...I'm very handy and after watching some repair/ adjustment videos am no longer concerned in the least. Just a little more maintenance than a rack and pinion.
@@kylejonesUB thanks for the comment! I’ll have to reconsider
Really nicely done for the size of trailer it is.
I think so too! TY
The accuslide system is neat. Haven’t seen them before but if it lets you do a partial opening that would help with use of bathroom in road mode.
Yeah accu slide will partial open without issue
Good video Josh
Thanks for watching!
I noticed lights in bedside closets. Nice! I like this. It's just the right size and just enough sleeping area. I have a 22rb and sometimes wish I had a bunk, so I don't have to use the dinette as a bed when my sister camps with us.
It's great to have the options!
They have incorporated many features and made a very nice unit. The only thing I can see that they have missed are anti-lock brakes. They have really stepped up their game. Great job, Uncle Josh.

It will be a bit before I can get it out but it’s coming
I really hope more brands will start installing those self squeegee shower doors.

I’m sure there is something out there with the features you’re looking for without those other extras.
That dinette curved cushion should have a cup holder, like the CrossTrail. It's very handy.
also, i would throw the tv out. i thought everyone just watched on their laptops. that is a criminal waste of kitchen storage.
I love battle beasts
YES!! Someone who remembers those things
Love it
Thanks Nerd! Thumbs up for the torsion suspension, the drop down griddle, and the strong water heater, although i prefer tank water heaters myself. Thumbs down for the Accu slide. I think you should just flip up the cargo bunk. We know its a bunk. That way, if it isnt flipped up, we know it isnt a cargo bunk!

Nice! I wish our bunks had the fold up option.
I hear ya. That is a great feature!

They have other no slide models with and without bunks
I have a 2020 Bullet 21RBS, I really like it. So far the only thing I don’t care for is the slide out operating mechanism, the cable system. The trailer has way better insulation and the better furnace for extended camping.
TY David
Did the slide system on your rv give you any problems?
, yes. One of the upper cables came unwound and almost fell off. Only opened and closed the slide around a dozen times.
Josh, this camper layout is what I’ve been screaming for! Unfortunately I see a couple of failures by Keystone here. One being the BAL Accu slide system.

I like the breakdown of the cargo bunks. I can't keep all of the model numbers sorted out.
It's a lot to keep track of!
That’s all I do all day and it’s still hard to track
I really like that they’re using a flip up for extra counter space in the kitchen.
I understand about the fold up bed for cargo space. I kinda need to know when there’s NOT charging capability in the bunks.
I like that there’s the drawers on the off side of the kitchen so as not to waste space, or feel like you were doing an enema on a cow to reach things right at the back.
The u dinette is my favourite type of dinette, if you’re going to have one.
I don’t remember battle beasts, it was all about ghostbusters and turtles for my son 😂😂
Do you think the tv would ever work on the door, to save storage space? I think it might be a stupid idea, but just spitballing. I still think one folding down from the ceiling isn’t used enough.
It’s great they’ve managed a decent bathroom, I like those retractable doors on the shower, I get concerned about the glass ones when you could be going over some very rough terrain in you’re stealth camping.
The bedroom is great for storage and has some great flat
surface space at both side of the beds.
It’s really unusual to see window sills in the campers. It’s a nice decorative touch. I’m in 2 minds about the lighting at the front. I don’t mind it either way, I guess, maybe we should see it in the dark? I’m surprised that there’s not ABS on all these rigs, they’re big! The hobo door is quite big, great for stowing things away, but I hope it has good locks😂

Can you do a vid on the 290BHS?
I'll get it added to my hit list
#RVNerdHerd 😊 🎉 😊
Road Mode is never a problem. I always leave the slide out. Oversized Load banner on the front & back with blinking light. Tip: stay in the left lane.
😆
wave a wand and implement composite walls to complement the floor.
Cougar is doing that now actually
@@JoshtheRVNerd oh really??
It would be great if there was a model like this and had a solid closing door for the BH!
Try this one! m.th-cam.com/video/p8IVASdcWBs/w-d-xo.html
Private bunk room and actually about 4ft smaller
#Nerdherd! 🇨🇦
We own a 2022 Bullet Premier 23RBPR for 1 full season now, 2000 miles so far, we just love it, nice « premier » features, like the round ceiling, outside kitchen, ladder, full fiberglass front cap (frame, roof, and front cap are very different than the competition), roller blinds, and many more. The down side, Chinese tire, regular suspension, no Azdel walls…
Quick tip - you may want to get those bearings washed and repacked after about 3,000 miles
Adding my two cents, Josh you don't need to explain that the bunk folds up if you show it in that format so we can see how big the space is and if there's a door, or tie downs, etc. I agree, some items are pretty self explanatory
Ty. Helpful
Hopefully TLC doesn't ask for royalties from this video 😂. Love your references Josh.
I think he'll be fine. He ain't no scrub.
@@jeffnielson6158 😂
I owe them several nickels
Take the dinette out and replace with two nice leather recliners either the little detachable swinging tables
Several requests for almost exactly that thing
Really like this unit.. 5400lbs dry, slide out full dinet, bunks with a back door plus outdoor kitchen setup.. and a full queen for a guy like me at 6ft tall is fantastic. Check's so many boxes for me, and I think the wife would love the colors and finishes to boot.
But Josh, $37.5k is just too much money for families like mine to upgrade from my 2017 Grey Wolf.
At this point, to trade into a new camper.. I'd have to downgrade on practically everything to keep things affordable. And since we only camp 4 to 5 times per season up north, I just can't justify it in my head.
For clarity the $37.5k is full blown MSRP -- we don't sell for MSRP nor do we pack on hidden fees onto our customers
Try giving Karlos call at 765-620-9737 at our Indiana store. He can get you a discounted sale figure on one of these
@JoshtheRVNerd always a salesman at heart, sir. Will I get the Uncle Josh discounted price?! 😆
Hey Josh, lol hope you’re getting some rest in between some of these trailer videos, buddy. Don’t need you to pass out or fall down the stairs bud lol but if you do try to get it on camera. That would be a good blooper.😂. I can say for sure I really wish they would take off the corner edges in the bedroom so that you don’t end up whacking your head, trying to get out of bed. I do really like the extra shelf on the side of the bed being that I have a CPAP. As for the pass-through under the sink, not sure about that. And the reason I say that is because I’m not sure whether the amount of water or weight of the water would not be real supported over time by the pass-through. In the living room I would definitely toss out the dinette and put in a theater seat option if it was available. Also would be lovely if there was a slightly bigger TV. The old farts need bigger lol. And of course never been a big bunk fan, so I would probably make a small office out of that. Other than that, not a bad rig. Keep rockin Josh , after your nap 😴
Not a lot of rest 😆
Like it. So is this the minimum level bullet? Love the open living. Wish it had more door side windows. The bathroom is ok. The storage is great. The huge open doors to the bedroom is great. The bed room is great. Thank you man!
Middle level I guess?
Tinker Bell probably stole the wand from her godmother😂
Do you know what capacity the class 2 hitch in the back is rated for?
Class 2 usually tops at 150lbs
This trailer seems absolutely perfect for my wife, the puppy dog, and I (with my granddaughter coming occasionally). The only concern I have is the slide mechanism. I've heard some with no issues whatsoever, and I've heard to avoid them at all cost. Just curious as to what your opinion is on them. This will be our first trailer, but I am a bit of a handyman. We just don't want to be swayed not to get what seems to be a great trailer for us because of Keystone's decision to use a cable slide.
In my experience issues with cable slides are quite rare. The thing is if a cable slide fails, then it immediately becomes a MASSIVE issue for a customer
It becomes very visible and gains a lot of discussion quickly
But I think people should purchase according to their peace of mind. If you like this layout but the cable slide gives you pause, then consider this model th-cam.com/video/cQbx848UDdU/w-d-xo.html with a similar layout but using a rack & pinion slide
@JoshtheRVNerd Thank you so much for the response. It's really appreciated! And, thank you for the alternative suggestion. I think that, if it does go bad on us (which I'm also finding to be rather rare), I have enough know-how to get it fixed. The Bullet seems more and more what we're looking for. Thanks again for the help, Josh!
Quick question. Are the outdoor fridges on a lot of models with the outside kitchens running while you're driving, or do you need to be plugged in for them to run?
Usually no. Most are 110v not 12v and lack inverters for travel function usuallly
@JoshtheRVNerd Got it. Thank you for the info.
Can you please do a video dedicated to the different slides and each of their attributes?
Heres one. m.th-cam.com/video/DkgYjoijTNI/w-d-xo.html
I Need to update it a bit
@@JoshtheRVNerd thanks my man
Heck ya,keep flippin the cargo bunk up...Can get a better idea on length of toy to shove in there..
What other brand/model would be the equivalent with a different slide system?
Try this m.th-cam.com/video/cQbx848UDdU/w-d-xo.html
Rack and pinion
1). But I do need a manic wand. Either or you need one to wave it for it to manically appear in my driveway for free 😂.
2). Nice unit. Thinking that perhaps my 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 H.D. could pull it nicely.
3) I’d say definitely good for a first time camper; but the question remains, is it the second camper purchased the first time around?
4) I’d like to hear from anyone in the class who has purchased this unit (or similar) and still has it and has plans on being one and done because it it is their second camper purchased the first time around.
5) I guess I like the new editing format for the weights and measurements Mr. Editor 👍
37). Have a great weeks guys.
😆
That seems fairly impressive as a possible 2509s competitor. I could see how they maybe included the Accu-Slide to help with the lacking road mode, but could they have used an Exact Slide instead (that I understand is less prone to problems), especially considering the weight of the full fridge in the slide? Hopefully the cooling and ventilation for the people in the bunks is okay (?). I'd like some access to a water faucet on the camp side near the kitchen that I didn't see (but might be there). It generally looks quite well set-up and equipped though.
Super similar layout. Kind of trading the shorter length and Murphy bed of the Rockwood for a private bedroom and true queen + longer length on this bullet
Acu slides? That may be a dealbreaker.
👍👍
I AM 39 SECONDS INTO THIS VIDEO AND I ALREADY WANT TO SAY KUDOS TO BULLET. THE OPEN SPACE UNDER THE BOTTOM BUNK WOULD BE GREAT FOR MY FUR BABIES. I HAVE ABSOLUTLE NO PLACE FOR THEM IN MY WILDWOOD. I AM IN THE PROCESS NOW OF LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TEAR OUT MY BED AND REBUILD IT WITH AN AREA UNDER IT WHERE THEY CAN SLEEP.
I’m eyeing a 330BKQ just because of the layout and suspension system. I like your format but if you want to omit things like outlets, I’m totally ok with that. If they could change one thing, it would be to use rack & pinion slide instead of cables. Thanks Josh, hope you found a 330BKQ on that garage area 😎
Haven’t seen one of those yet
Ok, they have went above and beyond on a lot of features so can they put drawers un the dinette please?
That would be a great upgrade
Yes we know, you don't have to show it but please do mention it so we are assured it has what we are looking for.
roger. TY
How easy is it to remove the outside grill and fridge?
Very easy
I understand the bunk cargo concept I actually think I understand the tv industry know lol. My question is quality wise list your type 5 quality builders, and what would you recommend for someone who is on a budget?
Apologies - I am not trying to be difficult but the question needs a little more scope and scale
It's hard to offer insights specific to you without more information like the vehicle in question, how many people you're sleeping, etc
Our local folks at the stores can definitely assist you with a search like that
Otherwise I can only offer super generic answers like "Rockwood maybe?" but I'm not even sure if they have the right kind of floor plan for you or what your idea of 'on a budget' means vs someone else's
Are bullet roofs walkable? Are the cabinets screwed and glued? This is pretty compelling.
They are and have been since 2018ish?
Overall it is a pretty good floorplan
I like the cargo access door as it will allow me to load up my generator and pellet grill into the trailer easier, along with getting the kids bags into the top bunk without opening the slide.
The road mode is OK but losing bathroom access is a sort of a mark against it.
I would like to see it with a sofa vs the dinette.
One question I have is the storage behind the TV. It looks like there is a small amount - would it work for storing something like a Nintendo switch & games? Maybe a portable DVD player and movies for those rainy days?
I also wonder about the size of the griddle that comes with the unit?
I am betting we could custom order one with a sofa for you..

Anaconda squeeze. Did we just become best friends?!?!?!
Yup.
Leave the bunk up if ya need to.
👍🏻
Not to be nit-picky but there is one too many colors, not quite cohesive. They either need to paint the cabinets to match the gray backsplash and table or get a backsplash that has the olive color of the cabinets in it. The table should be the color of the raw wood running throughout the camper.
Others said something similar
🎉#NerdHerd
I really like this floorplan, BUT to me the dinette only is a deal breaker. If I could option in a couch of some sort it would be perfect. Too many brands don't offer a couch in this layout. We don't need the table but a couch would make this a 10/10 for our family.
Hmm.. betting we could get that done in a special request for you. Would likely run a few hundred bucks
@@JoshtheRVNerd good to know. Buying a house now. Rv probably first of the yearish. Thanks!
More outside storage. Get rid of the outside kitchen
👍🏻
I like floorplan but would like just a booth with two chairs as a solo female camper. As for the bunks just give me an empty room for my dogs. And for seating would like theater seats. As regards slide system would be willing to pay more for good slide system. Think I will wait for 2026 to see what manufacturers have improved their campers based on campers suggestion. I am a woman with no mechanical skills so want my first year in RV to be nonproblematic.
Sounds like maybe just a a different model would be a better fit for you
How tall are you because saying there is plenty of head room your height is definitely a factor in that statement. I'm 6'5" so lots of head room to me usually means minimal head room
I love the nice bathroom with a porcelain toilet and a shower door👍and I was so hopeful that I might see multiple comfortable seating “options”, but instead they just force an outdated 1950’s diner booth dinette on everyone😩
So many great features all around and then.... Accuslide. Run. Bummer. This was a big contender against the 25brds or 2509s.
Try this one: th-cam.com/video/cQbx848UDdU/w-d-xo.html
Similar layout. Rack & pinion slide
Wish it was rack n pinion instead of cables
That would be nice. We have a similar model coming in our go explore lineup that will thankfully
I like this, would consider it if not for a few misses. That slide is way too big for anything other than rack and pinion IMO. Those lights on the front are unnecessary and I doubt they last very long. Location of water heater sucks. This seems like a higher end trailer to me so those basic crappy wheels make no sense. Love everything else including the interior decor choices, suspension, slam latch, norco frame, bathroom door closed off at the top, and more. Thanks Josh!
Yeah, the slide is something a lot of folks have talked about.

I like this, but prefer the center tv with swing around for bed or living area, prefer rack and pinion slides myself and just dont care for that olive color at all, I'd prefer wallpaper or wood panelling, but im old school.
TY for the input on that olive cabinetry
@JoshtheRVNerd you're welcome.
It was the 80's. You created (or licensed) some toys and then poured a cartoon on top of it for marketing.
Facts
would it be possible to get rid of the booth dinette and use recliners? I can't stand the dinnettes.
Possibly as a special build request
Nice camper. Oven is wasted on me, would rather have a fire place.
Solo with 3 dogs.
You think a 21 gladiator rubicon with 2.5” lift and 37’s could pull this “safely”?
I do not. Even if your vehicle was unmodified it wouldn't have the capacities to handle this RV legally as the RV's gvwr already exceeds your max tow rating.
The modifications may eat further into its ability to safely tow and haul in exchange for the other benefits like the off-road functions they provide
@ thank you for input and time.
Would rather have another cabinet where the bathroom window is.
👍🏻
The layout of this trailer is very functional and roomy at the same time . Great for a family of 4 . A couple of negatives I see . I am assuming the fridge is a 12 volt compressor type . That sucks for boon docking . Would need 600 watts of solar in the Pacific Northwest just to keep that running. Even then it could be sketchy you would make it through a weekend. Don’t like seeing a heavy appliance like a fridge mounted in the slide. Has to be hard on the slide hardware bouncing down the road when closed.
Lastly l don’t know how any buyer would accept that horrible upholstery work on the dinette cushions.The fabric is all loose so it looks like it 10 years old off the showroom floor!!!
Fridges in slides don’t give me hesitation personally
A lot of folks worry about fridges but not pantries in slides which can weight just as much or even more
That fridge has more anchoring and support in the slide than the seating really
But it is a 12v fridge. That’s really become the default and often only fridge offered by makers
