I got the oiled bronze to match the hardware elsewhere in the camper. I noticed some Premier's had the hooks in the bathroom and mine did not. I found these at Target and thought they matched pretty good! That looks like the exact same towel ring and location that I installed.. On our 27RBPR there was a stud directly above the plug in the bathroom so I just screwed into it. We have the matching TP holder that sits in the floor though (it's on heavy based stand). Thought it might bounce around, but so far so good. 2011 GMC 2500 D-Max Denali 2015 Palomino Columbus 325RL Our kids have 4 legs. "> |

Hi- I picked up my new 2011 Bullet Premier 28RLPR last week. I have done a few mods to it, but nothing too major yet: -I had the dealer replace the standard faucet with the pull out faucet that comes with in the "comfort package." -I mounted a 12V LCD in the bedroom -added 2 Maxair vent covers -added a Winegard Wingman -replaced the interior speakers with a set of $30.00 6.5 inch 3-way speakers from Walmart. They are a big improvement on sound by adding some treble, better then the muddy sound of the existing speakers. They fit in the existing holes, and the white grills fit on the new speakers. Looking at it you wouldn't know they were replaced. What I was thinking of doing was adding a counter top extension. When I was in the camper the other day I noticed that the laundry shute cover is the same material/pattern as the counter top. I thought that I could remove the cover and add brackets - instant counter top extension. Has anyone done this already and if so do you have pics? I figured I could make a new cover for the laundry shute out of another material. No need to match the counter that is in the kitchen with the laundry shute cover in the bedroom since you cant see both at the same time. |

I used a flush wallmount and screwed it into the stud behind the wall. If you are looking at the wall from the bed, it is in the upper right hand side. A little "knocking" on the wall and you will be sure to find it, you can hear the difference between the hollow wall and the solid sound where the stud is. Took all of 5 mins!

I just put a set of Air Lift helper bags on my T.V. along with an onboard air compressor and I'm here to tell you that they are well worth the money. The actual install took about 2.5 hours, then another 1.5 to make everything hidden and all pretty like. Prior to the install my truck would sag about 2 inches with the trailer dry, now nothing. I hooked up after I finished set the bags to 75lbs and the aft end of my truck doesn't even look like there is anything on it. The air bags along with some after market tow mirrors, and we are ready for our cross country move this fall.

I ask because I do have an equalizer, but still have some sag in the rear springs..it seems, no matter how much "lift" I put on the bars. I wondered if air bags might be warranted in my case...I haven't seriously considered it because I thought the W/D system was supposed to put as much weight on the front as the rear......mine puts some weight on the front, but the rear is still lower.. |

I also have an Equalizer hitch. I just didn't feel comfortable driving cross country with that sagging. I ordered the set up for 350.00 from JC Whitney and wish I had done it a long time ago. * This post was edited 08/14/11 09:44pm by NetAndDavid * |

I guess I have to ask .. Have you all done the weight check for TV capacity, tongue weight, TT before and after it's loaded, etc.?

I can tell you I have, and I'm sure the 09 Chevy 1500 HD is rated more than my ex-Ram 1500 4.7, but I was about 900 lbs over my GVWR and GCWR fully loaded and ready to roll.
