There are all sorts of the different RVs out there and one particular RV is either right for you, or it's not. If it's not, there are plenty of other ones to choose from. That's one of the things that makes RVing great.


I asked the dealer about the black tank flush and he said it was their mistake that they didn't option it correctly.
I certainly agree with your statement though...I'm actually in your same situation...kids and wanting more TT room without massive tow weight, which is why we looked at the B-P. I really think for us it's going to be the Outback 312BH...but the Bullet is still in the mix.
Hey btw, I notice your signature picture...does your TT really sit that high in the front when towing or is it jacked up? You may need a drop hitch if it's towing that nose high. I wonder if this is partly due to the smaller 14" tires?

Weird, I thought they all had the black tank flush, mine wasn't labeled, so the dealer called the company to find out for sure that's what it was.

Some folks down camp from us just bought a brand new one, it is real nice my only thing, which everyone that looked in it conceded was it was really dark inside, I dont know if it was the dark brown interior or lack of natural light through windows but we all thought the same thing.

Does the Premier have tinted windows? If so..is that the reason for the feeling of "darkness"?

I ask because I am interested in that option on another product. Thanks.


Posted By: CampinEarls on 11/26/10 11:06am

Mine are tinted pretty dark, I don't notice it being really dark inside.
If I want light in I open the shades and door. I guess it doesn't have as many windows as some do but it wouldn't make me not buy it....obviously.

I agree with CampinEarls!! Our Premier has the huge back window,(which was a selling point), so we have no problem with it being dark in the camper.

Our model has the big back window with lots of light. The tint only helps keeps it more private inside while you can clearly see out. Most all these rvs have about the same floorplan from one company to another. Windows make the difference. The black clean out is standard on premier. We had to go with lightweight and I wanted somewhat local. There are always choices and chances on any rv you get. Go into any purchase with open eyes. I am aware that there are better made but we are very satisfied with ours. See my earlier remarks after our first trip.

I agree that when we first walked into the Premier, the lighting inside seemed to be more subdued, "warmer" than with our old Tango. I think that the light fixtures put out a much more yellow light than the white light we were used to and I was worried about the lights not being bright enough at night.

Having lived with it now and using it in late October/November, I found that it's not a problem at all, but we do have to turn on each of the lights for all the areas instead of just one light for the whole room.

I've got a ProPride hitch so unfortunately I can't just go out and buy lower drop hitch. I haven't contacted them yet to ask if there was any way to adjust it lower than the lowest setting where it's at right now. In the picture, it's more nose-high than it currently is, but it's still nose-high. It took me a little while to get the setup tuned correctly, but it towed great for our entire 5000 mile trip. I think if the tires were bigger it would probably even it out a bit more.

Me and the DW started talking about the 31BHPR. 2 questions that I have right now without really looking at one is, Do the 14" tires create any issues while towing. Are the 20# propane tanks big enough for that size TT.
