Thumbs up Our first trailer!

2018 Bullet 202bhswe
2017 Kia Sorento V6 AWD
2-point 800/8000 WDH
Seattle area, Washington State

Purchased back in Dec. 2017 going on our first trip in just a few days (to local KOA) with full hookups to try everything out. Hope that we've got everything. Wish us luck!

Welcome from Central Maryland. Our first camper was also that size. We were very happy with it (Wife still misses it).

Welcome from Georgia and happy camping! We also have a Bullet - a 248rks. Be sure to either write down (or text yourself) anything you discover that you want to get/bring along next time, so you don't forget.

Good luck. You will really need to watch how much you load in the trailer and where you load it. You are going push the limits of that Kia as a TV.

Once you have you stuff loaded in you might want to take a trip to the local CAT scale to be sure you have the weight loaded correctly.

The dry weight of the trailer is 4100lbs. I plan on carrying no more than 300-400lbs of cargo for total weight 4500lbs. Any more weight then I'll have to upgrade my TV (even with the WDH). Thanks!

Sounds like your on the ball and know your close. Just be sure to watch your TV payload capacity, this is where most of us with non HD trucks get in trouble with weight.

The payload capacity in that Sorento is 1150lbs. I've already told my daughters that if they want to camp with us they'll have to follow in their car.
