Bullet 246RBS is home!

[KJcachers]

Well, the dealings done and the bullet is in the driveway. All systems test out okay. Even the grey and black tank handles are labeled correctly! Lol. Only issues I have found so far is missing caulk around the shower walls where they meet the bottom pan. I will goop them up myself. No toilet paper holder in the bath but we bought a floor stand type that works great! That and the fact that the kitchen sink sits at an angle and there is no place for a dish drain on the counter! Not a deal breaker and I think we will find an in sink drain somewhere. So far we are loving all the space and storage. Wife is demanding a trip next weekend just to give it the real work out!

Congrats on the new rig! When is the first trip?

[KJcachers]

Probably next weekend!

I had noticed that my Bullet doesn't have caulk around the wall - tub juncture either. Perhaps this is by design.

[Javi]

Congratulations, have fun

I see it as a spot for water to seep through and get to the flooring.

Congrats! We have the 246RBS also and love it! I'm pretty sure no caulk is needed around the bottom. There is probably a lip on the pan that cannot be seen that sticks up behind the wall portions. After numerous vigorous showers, I have noticed no water escaping and I have even pulled the door on bottom and looked underneath the pan. Dry as a bone. There's no doubt a big overlap. Lets see pics of your RV. Is it a 2012? Ours is a 2011 and I believe there were some changes made. I also posted a pic of a toilet paper mod on this forum that I did in our Bullet.

Here are a few of the mods:

Found a large empty space where the water heater is so I walled it off and this is where we store cases of water and soft drinks

When I picked up my new 2910bh in May, during my walk through they told me there was no caulking by design. The flange goes high enough behind the shower wall to prevent water leakage. The shower / tub are meant to flex and any caulking would quickly pull apart with the two pieces moving separately.

Enjoy the new trailer!

thanks for the info. so the floor pan actually goes up behind the wall far enough that water that gets in there will run back out? sounds good to me and no need to caulk for no reason.

For WGB1:


Your towel rack, toilet roll holder and key holder are beautiful. Where did you purchase them?
We have a similar unit, and those would work well for us.

thanks for the pictures.

I believe my wife purchased the TP holder and towel rack at Lowes. The TP holder is screwed onto a piece of wood from Hobby Lobby which is glued onto the wall. The key holder is from Target and stuck on with Command strips. I left a bit sticking out in case I wanted to relocate it but will trim it off so the white cannot be seen.

For wgb1: thanks for sharing those details. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

[KJcachers]

After exchanging emails with a Keystone rep about the shower issue I posted earlier they have told me the tub wall does in fact go up behind the shower wall and is sealed to the main wall so even if water got in there and high enough up the wall it could still not get down under the pan. Any water in that crack will drain right back out.

[ls1mike]

Looks very nice! Have fun with it!

[michaeliack]

Nice mods WGB1. Will be borrowing some of those ideas.

I can first hand let you know there is no need for the caulking. I had the shower out of my last TT 4 times.:banghead: Yes, the tub has a flange about 1" tall that goes up behind the shower wall. That flange is caulked to the wall of the trailer (at least it was in my coachmen, keystone looks to be the same tub.) Unless you are camping in near zero gravity, or upside down, the water should not be able to get behind the shower and onto the floor. :) Except out the front side from splashing.

Mine is the same. The only issue I have is in the corners where, if the trailer is not level, water may run off the side of the tub and onto the floor (in front of the tub).

If anyone is having trouble "visualizing" the flange and how it works, next time in Lowe's or HD, stop by the 2 piece fiberglass tub display and look at the edge of the tub and the shower wall surround. If installed correctly, as Newk said, it can't leak behind the shower surround unless you're upside down.....

Congrats on your new Bullet. We've had ours for 3 years now and are very happy with it. My wife was able to purchase a dish rack and drain board that fit perfectly between the sink and stove. I think she bought it at Walmart. The one major thing that we did after having the trailer was to do the table mod. The current table is long and narrow as you undoubtly have noticed so I had a cabinet place build a rectangular table to fit over top. It worked out extremely well. The only time i take that table top off is when we need to make the dinette into a bed. I hope the pictures uploaded ok.

[KJcachers]

No, the 2013 model went to a standard dinette instead of the u shape.

I have a "tub" rather than a shower and both ends of the tub leak on the floor whether I am level or not. I guess I just take splashy showers. What I did is add a small triangular piece of plexiglass to each of the corners with some caulking. So far so good. The one end of the tub leaks onto the floor between the tub and the sink and there's only about 1" of space between them so you can't get a towel in there to dry it. I am concerned about the sink base rotting since it's just particle board. I did the other side just to keep from having to dry up a pool of water every time I use it.

I bought a small rectangular piece of plexiglass from Lowes, cut it into triangluar pieces the size I needed, and just used caulk to hold it in place.

We also have a 246rbs ( 2011) and just love it. My wife went to Bed Bath and Beyond where they have reusable padded drain mats and that is what she uses instead of a rigid rack. As far as the shower caulking, we were told NOT to caulk either the top or bottom of the sidewalls as this will cause the condensation that forms from temperature differential of hot water on cold walls to form and have no place to vent or drain. If sealed mold and mildew will form between the shower wall and exterior wall,NOT A GOOD THING.

Check out Lowe's, HD, Amazon etc.. Look for Shower and Tub splash guards they come in a few different sizes with double sided tape. Just clean wall and tub, stick and no more water on floor. A must with kids, they seem to never close the curtain all the way. They go for $10-20. Hope this helps, Jay
