Anyone have a Bullet 308BHS

So we just took delivery of our 2014 Bullet 308BHS and can't wait to go on our first trip. I've yet see any other of these trailers out there. In fact even the website doesn't have a whole lot of info on it. We loved the layout and color and that is all that really matters I guess, just curious if anyone else out there has one of these yet.

Only concern that it have would be the cable system for both slides and how long they last. I know cables will stretch compare to a ram style slide. It was one thing I overlooked I guess. I don't think it would have been a deal breaker though. I've read some post on here about the system.....I'm just wondering how long or durable they really are.

Congrats!!!

We're looking @ the 31BHPR, basically the same floorplan in the Premier line rather than the Bullet.

Let us know how you like the unit and if you have any gotchas that we should look out for.

Thank you, we saw this one at the Baltimore show and loved it. I think we looked at almost every one there before deciding on this one. It was between this one and the Surveyor and the Bullet won. They only had 2 Premier models there. They looked really nice and almost the same with the interior options being a little different.

Even if you go to the keystone website there isn't much info on ours. I looked at label on the side and it was built Jan 30 2014. The salemans told us it was a new model and that they got them in right before the show and only had the 3 different models on the floor.

so far so good and I'll keep everyone posted. We are gonna try to go this weekend maybe.

We have one on order. It's supposed to come of the factory line April 14th. We also looked at a bunch of trailers and this one had the most room and sleeping capacity along with a weight I could pull with my Suburban. It's taking longer to get than I wanted but we wanted the tri-fold sofa option which add's 4 weeks to the standard delivery. Not sure why thsat would be. We are so ready to start camping in our TT. It's a big upgrade from our Pop-up.

I don't have an exact date, but our 31BHPR is a couple weeks behind yours.

Same here! Moving from the pop-up to a full size TT is going to have us wondering what to do with all the space (for... at least the first weekend... )

We love the little bit we have been in it "in front of the house...lol". We didn't mind the couch only being a jack knife vs a full pull out. We love it, and trust me we looked at a lot of campers...hahaha. I also love the beige color scheme

We like our Bullet also. As to the cable slide(s) this our 3rd RV with them and have not had any problems. Some people have but then people have issues with all types of slides. Our motor home had a large cable slide that I worried about but it never failed us.

That is good to know and thank you. We never had any issues with our Jayco so I'm hoping for the best.

I read that you can perform your own maintenance but the slides are one of those things I would leave to the people who mess with them for a living...lol they know exactly how to adjust them here or there...

Bed to Console spacing question

A couple of more weeks until I get to pick up our 308BHS. Just wondering how much room there is between the front Queen mattress and the TV console. On the keystone floor plan it looks to be a foot or so but I dont remember it being that large. I was thinking it was only 2-4 inches. Just preparing my expectations for my feet over hang room.

I'm 6' and my feet hang over just a little if I put my head all the way to the front. As far as the amount of space I'm able to walk sideways between ours... If I had to guess I would say about 8-10 inches maybe. We are Itching to go camping... We we're suppose to go last weekend but it rain/ poured all weekend and that's not fun to me....lol

Foot room

Awesome. Thanks for the response. 6-8 inches will be great since i'm 6 ft also.

They say ours is a Short queen which is 60"x75" and a regular
Queen is 60"x80" which is only 5" but that does equal feet hanging over to not hanging over..

We had a saleman at the RV show try to sway us on that point. The floorplan overall was our main concern as I think it is with every other Camper out there and I just kinda chuckled at him. I figure the longest would be a week at a time that I would be sleeping in it so ne big worries for me.
