For those with the RL floorplan with the big window in the back...do you find the glass to be very flimsy? It seems like it could break easily. I am sure it is strong but I notice its "flexibility" when washing it etc


You have us a little concerned lol. I've hand washed it and used a microfiber dust towel on the back window many times. I take pictures out the back of the wildlife around, the window is like a one way mirror for that. So we clean it often! We've never felt any movement from its glass thickness or how it's installed.

If you feel it's unacceptable then maybe talk to your dealer. Ours is the 2011 model but of course their supplier for windows could have changed? Keep us informed on what you find out.

I'll second what RainbowsEnd said. We've had no concerns with ours !!

I used mine once then hid in my basement...The "Flame King" that came with ours was crap.
I purchased a Weber Baby Q and modified it to run off my gas outlet from my camper. Best mod yet....I now want a Baby Q for use at home. Heavier but the best grill I have ever used.


Good idea! Can you share you mod, 'cauze the grill that came with the TT is as you say, crap. I did find the link between the flame field and the regulator was nearly unscrewed so I was hoping that it would actually cook next time and not just warm up.

Has anyone winterized their Bullet yet? I tried this weekend and noticed that the water pump did not allow for me to access it to pull the anti-freeze out.

Has anyone modified the Bullet to allow automatic winterization?


Being a new Premier owner I'll be crossing that bridge soon but....we are still gonna use ours up until mid December. I'm going to see just how that "Thermal Package" works! We will be at Kentucky Lake for 8 days at Thanksgiving and will again use it in southern TN for a trade show we do annually. Never used a camper this late in December before, I've seen others pull or drive their RV's to the show...but...last Decmber we had one terrible ice storm at the conclusion of that show. LOL! So I'm a little concerned about winterizing in mid december in TN. Could be either way with the weather.

Hi all Premier owners, I'm new to this forum but not new to camping forums in general. We just bought a 2012 Premier 28RLPR and love it. I'm happy to have found this forum and whoa!, a LOT of pages to read through! I'm finding a lot of great information and hope to contribute as well. I have a blog (linked on my signature) and welcome comments. Thanks for letting me take a minute of your time.

Welcome to the Bullet family. We also have the 28RLPR and love it. You can follow my post and see my comments on this model and any changes we've made which aren't many. As to your post on the grill, we also feel it cooks slow but found that we grill on open flames at our fire pit or cook late indoors after a long day outside. Actually forget we even have one! Looking forward to what you do with your TT.


Thank you for that! For some reason I'm not getting notifications when somebody adds to this forum...I'll have to check out why.

I've found a few little niggling things that I've needed to repair since the maiden voyage. 1. bathroom door, the jam moved and I had to add a spacer behind the kick plate. 2. the screws completely wallered out on one of the overhead doors above the sofa so I did the old elmers and toothpick trick for that one and 3. the recliner chairs rock WAY to far back so I cut a 3" block spacer for each chair.

We are set to take this camper out to Kentucky Lake for Thanksgiving and see how she does with the "thermal package". 8 days... gotta love it!

Tomorrow starts the 1250 mile trip to Kansas. It will be the longest that I have pulled this rig! I've got the fresh tank full, the holding tanks empty, the generator filled with two extra 5 gallon cans, extra propane tank, 2 extra quarts of oil for each vehicle, road atlas with all the truck stops with dump stations, rest areas, and walmarts along the way, cb set, snacks in the cabins of both vehicles, and dvds and games for the kids in the van. I think we are good to go. I'll post again along the way, until then, happy trails to all!

Happy trails on your trip! Sounds like you have things well planned. Post up on the way and share your adventures especially on the TT handling.

There were two floor plans we looked at with these rocker/recliner type chairs at the back window. They each had slide outs but one only went out 18" compared to the 28RLPR which is 36". Now if you were sitting in that recliner and pulled it forward for a tad more space you'd be running into the couch! The person sitting on the couch would have no leg room at the end where the chair is. I wonder how many people find this out AFTER they purchase that model. These rocker/recliners work best if pulled forward a few inches so you don't lean back into the screen or rear window shade.

Now explain what this 3" block is and how you use it?

Thank you! For some reason I'm not recieving email notifications for this forum so I missed this.
I carried a small charcoal rectangular weber in the old TT so I'll probably continue to use it and forget the propane grill. Too bad because I kind of like being able to hang something off the side of the camper.
