You might want to consider starting a "Bullet/Premier Owner's Group" in the Community section of the forum. That way you can all stay in touch via threads dedicated to your specific trailer line without the "visibility and often times interference" from those who aren't interested or who don't have the "unique interest that Bullet owners share".....
You can access that section of the forum by clicking on the Social Groups link in the "pull down menu" under the COMMUNITY tab in the top bar of every forum webpage.
While you're all "perfectly OK" posting the discussion here, you may get a more "focused contributor population" in the Social Groups section.....

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks as if there may already be a Bullet social group but it doesn't look like it gets any action. Although this post caught my eye because it is similar to my RV I think this information on the mods is relevant to any type of RV and gregrc75 does a great job explaining it. I wouldn't want this good stuff to get buried.

Greg, great job on the vent! One of the first things I noticed was that the stove vent in my Premier 26 is.........There is none! It vents inside which means it will not work at all . I would be afraid I would cut some darn wiring. way to go on cutting the hole. Nice cover you got for it too. You should come camp at my place for a couple of weeks this summer. Mods are the camping fee.

Did a couple of mods this month. Added subway “tile” backsplash and pull out shelves.

What brand of slide out drawers did you go with? They look like they fit perfectly.

I got them from Camping World on the clearance shelf. GlideZ is the brand. They are a perfect fit!

I did a few minor mods this spring.
1. Added “shiplap” wallpaper behind the TV. Combined with the white subway tile in the kitchen, it brightens up the interior without having to paint anything.
2. Added an 110v outlet in the dinette seat. We did not have any 110v in the street side slide out.
3. Added a 12v puck light to the underside of the door in the outside entertainment.

I'll second it, all three things look real slick and well done.

How did you get the power into the slide to add the outlet?

I used the slide out wire support that was already there for the 12v wires. I believe it’s called a flex guard kit. I copied what the factory did. I ran the 110v wire through some split flexible wire tubing. There was room for me to add it next to the existing wire.

I hope you used multistrand wire (similar to a heavy gauge extension cord) rather than solid strand wire (similar to ROMEX)… The single strand wire will "fatigue" and create a fire hazard as it weakens, eventually breaking and interrupting your power to the outlet. If you used multistrand wire, great !!!

I am so in awe and jealous of your abilities! I thought I was doing good with taking out the bunks and turning that area into a closet!! I wish I had your talents, sir - I truly do!! I DID change out all of the halogen bulbs for LEDs, and while they aren't quite as bright, I could tell the change was made 'just in time'. There were heat marks in almost ALL of the fixtures, and several of the bulbs were heat darkened. Thankfully, my DiL had warned me about leaving the lights ON in a camper, due to fire danger. The change over to LED bulbs was cheap and easy.

This is interesting. I almost used that but saw I had regular Romex and went with that. I’ll take your advice and rewire the part that flexes under the slide. Thanks for that info.

Thanks! It sounds like you made the camper work better for you.
I did the same with the lights in my last camper. It was nice knowing the LED’s won’t cook the ceiling!

I got them on clearance at Camping World. Unfortunately I don’t have the measurements. My camper is at the dealer.

I totally agree, many of those mods will work on my model as well, and also opens up some creative thinking during the winter months.. as I probably would not wander over to a model specific thread. Thanks Gregrc
