We are at Topsail Hill sp in Florida fully beach ready! We have the only Bullet in the campground. This would be a great place for a Bullet rally!

I am hoping to go camping by the beach tomorrow, but on Cape Cod, so no bathing suits yet!

I finally got around to making a pot drawer for my pots and pans. In the 28RLPR it is empty under the stove. For about $25.00 in materials I now have a deep drawer.

While my new Bullet was under warranty last year, I had the same issue on the rear tire passenger side, it was severely leaning in, and the dealer after way too much time replaced it. The service guy mentioned while this normally wasn't a problem in the past, he has been seeing it with the newer Keystone products. Keep in mind however this was Camping World.

It's about time!!! [emoticon][emoticon][emoticon]

Looks great, we were out for the first time last weekend and DW loved every drawer I added... I'm sure you'll find the same.

Good mod

Interesting as this was my pasenger side also. Mine is ywo months out of warranty. I will be replacing myself as I can do it cheaper than making two trips to my dealer (plus time). I also will be going one size larger.

Two summers ago when we did our trip to Minnesota, I noticed severe tire wear on the rear driver side tire mid-journey. The tread on the inner side had worn down to the steel belt. I had checked tire pressure every morning and never noticed if the tire was angled wrong. Luckily I was able to buy a new tire so that we could get back on the road.

At the end of our trip in Montana, we suffered failed wheel bearings on the rear passenger tire. I was able to limp to a nearby campground and the mobile repair guy who came said the axle was bent and it could have caused the failure. It also made me suspect that the uneven tire wear was a symptom. We had the axle replaced before we got back on the road. That all happened the first summer we bought the Premier.

In March this year, I decided to get the wheel bearings repacked. During that service, they noticed again the same uneven tire wear. They checked the alignment and said everything was straight and had no idea what could have caused it. I'm puzzled myself and will have to be extra careful now checking the treads.

I wonder why the dealerships don't perform an alignment before they see them roll off the lot? Seems like it would be standard operating proceedure if this is such a known issue.

My dealership told me they didn't have the equipment to check alignment, I called around to others and none do around here, they all referred me to an axle/wheel shop in Wichita.
Mine was the rear passenger as well

Went away for 4 days two weeks ago, was great! Looking forward to the next time, whenever that may be.
Speaking of fridges, I noticed a little neon-green drip from the back of the fridge when I removed the vent for cleaning. There was also a little bit of green build-up on a small pipe. Anyone know what this is?
