No blu Ray yet, has blue tooth that seems to work well for music.

We were very happy with the buying experience at Byerly. We actually met out salesman at the STL RV show, but didn't actually purchase the trailer until last month. He gave us the same deal as we were going to get at the show.

2 new Maxxair smoke vent covers installed!

Used an old comforter and a small sheet of plywood to protect the roof while up there. I was pretty impressed at how solid the roof felt though.

The tile install is complete and went well! Also added it in the bathroom. Thanks again.

What did you use to clean the wall first. It looks really good.

Thanks! I sprayed Simple Green on a cloth and wiped it down. I didn't want to soak the walls.

How do you cut the tiles to go around the window?

If you loosen the lower half of the window frame you can slide the sheet of tile in place and under the frame. Once in place mark the tile sheet lay it flat and cut it with a utility knife.

Here is the website for the tiles :

Sorry to keep asking so many questions. How many sheets did you need? Thanks.

Ask away! I don't mind sharing info, I've learned so much from everyone here I'm happy to help.

We purchased the 12 pack of tile sheets, it was a little cheaper per tile that way. We used every tile to do the kitchen and bathroom. I had to cut 2 tiles for under the kitchen window and used the rest of those 2 tiles in the bathroom.

Looks great. I have the same kitchen configuration and cabinets, LEDs throughout the ceiling in 2016 Passport 2670. No LED strip outside though. Dometic AC runs somewhat softer, if not quieter. Bunk mattresses are usable without memory foam (!!!). The new design is dramatically better overall. But I miss 2013's Atwood fridge and the ability of TV to swivel to the bedroom

Couple pics of the second tv added to the bedroom.

I did not use a mount, found some hardware to screw right into the back of the tv. Made a template to mark the holes to drill out.



You really only get one shot doing it that way so measure 2 - 3 times before drilling the holes.

Ran power to the outlet that the other tv plugs into, I split the rca cables coming out of the DVD player so both TVs can watch the same thing. Also ran a coax cable to the back of the antenna booster, it had a second connection on the backside for another TV.

Looks good. Was the back wall solid in all 4 locations?

The whole wall behind the tv is solid, surprisingly.

They must have changed that after 2015. My 2015 is only solid about half 2/3 of the way.

Nice trailer!

I have a 2670bh.

Just curious if your oven fan has a direct vent outside?

Mine does not.

When I took delivery 2 months ago of my 2016 Bullet 308BHS (the twin to the Passport 3220), it was a late production year model as it was built 3 weeks before I picked it up. The dealer did have an early production year model on his lot that had some noticeable interior differences (different light fixtures, bunk room divider curtains (not doors) vs solid wood pocket doors in the late production year model. He also told me that the only thing that changed from my late production year model to the 2017 arriving in April was the trailer's VIN. From what I can deduce is that incremental changes to interiors of the same model occur in between early and late same year productions, not necessarily between the model years. I could be wrong but the dealer validated this too.

I think you're right with your assumptions. From what I understand, the "model year comes to an end (2016 MY ends sometime in April/May 2016) and the "new year models" start production. Sometime in December or January, the factory starts ordering parts for the new model year run. Their goal is to use all the "old year parts" on the last of the old year trailers. Sometimes, a light breaks, a cabinet door gets broken, they run out of carpet or an entertainment center gets backed into with a forklift, etc. So, many times, the changeover results in an "old model year" trailer being built with "new model stuff" to complete the run.

The same holds true for using the "old year parts" that are left over when the "new model production" starts. What's eventually not used and truly is "left over" gets wholesaled to Trekwood or to another RV salvage company. Otherwise, there would be warehouses full of "old stuff" at Keystone. Since they don't sell to customers and don't need "warranty replacements" past the 1 year warranty, that stuff isn't kept by the company.

So, it's possible to have some "early 2016 models" with 2015 features, the "mid 2016 models" with only 2016 features and some "late 2016 models" with 2017 features. Also, rather than shut down production if a part is out of stock, often one brand will "borrow" from another brand, so you might wind up with Cougar lights in a Passport or possibly a different brand microwave in the units run during a specific week during the year. Ideally, it "shouldn't happen", but.......

From my take, that's the main reason for the disclaimer at the bottom of the last page in the brochures, "Product information is as accurate as possible as of the date of publication of this brochure. Features, floor plans, and specifications are subject to change without notice. Please also consult Keystone’s website at keystonerv.com for more current product
information and specifications."
