Hello from Washington State

Hello all,
Just in the market for a new RV since we've outgrown our 2006 R-Vision Max-Lite 21RS. It really has been a great trailer for us but with a 14 and 12 year old and the occasional cousin or friend, we need more room for awhile.
I'm looking at a Bullet 281BHS. I like the layout: two double bunks, good sized slide, good weight, smooth-sided for ease of cleaning (and weight).
I've looked at some aluminum-sided models (Forest River Cherokee, and a couple others) and I've looked at some quad bunk and "Jack n Jill" models but I keep coming back to this floor plan. Jayco has an equivalent model but for a couple G-notes more.... Just not convinced that it's worth the extra cost and that is the dealer I liked the least.

Anyway, great place you have here and be sure, I will be asking lots of questions.

Dean

Thanks everyone for the welcomes. The Max-Lite sold last night so now the serious hunt is on for the next trailer. Pretty much narrowed it down to a couple of usual suspects in this layout:
  • Bullet281BHS
  • Jayco28DSBH

These are the two models with the double-over-double configuration and the 2nd door from the bathroom that are available within a reasonable distance.

I'll be posting another thread in the general forum for input if anyone has some sage words

Thanks, Dean

Hey Bluewater!
I'm a fellow Washingtonian but I'm a west-sider... Skagit County. We go to your side to camp in the summer.... And you probably come over to this side.

Welcome from the southern Oregon coast. We have cousins in Puyallup and Vancouver.

Always great to have another Pacific Northwest member on the forum.
