RV REVIEW REVIEW BY HOWARD J. ELMER
2021 Keystone Bullet 290BHS A great people mover
these large family-friendly units on my mind. The Bullet by Keystone falls into what I consider the mid-range content and price category. It’s nicely appointed and the base construction features things like aluminum-framed side, front and rear walls. Aluminum is also used for slide-out frames and a material called Darco creates an in-wall moisture barrier. The main chassis and frame are steel. Also of note is the enclosed and heated underbelly making this a serious three-season camper. So, what else on this Bullet is aimed at families? To start with—two entry doors, the rear one of which accesses the bathroom directly from the outside. This gives kids a straight shot to the toilet without tracking dirt and mud all through the trailer. An outdoor kitchen moves daytime activity outside where it belongs. This area also has a TV hookup pre-wired, and a quick-connect LP gas nozzle nearby adds a barbeque to the mix. Over it all is an awning, and outdoor speakers complete this entertainment space. Inside the Bullet the first thing I noticed was the light- coloured décor. While the single large slide-out adds space, it is this bright interior that adds to the sense of size. Bullet has a decent list of standard equipment at this price-point; however, you can add what works for
We recently had an opportunity to drive the new 2021 GMC Yukon AT4—a full-size SUV with a new design that makes it one of the best people movers on the market. With true 7-passenger seating it also is a great tow vehicle. To highlight this aspect of its new personality we asked a local RV dealer to help us out and provide a right-sized travel trailer for our day-long test. What we settled on was the Keystone Bullet – 290BHS. This bunkhouse unit has a dry weight of just over 5,800 pounds, a nice match for the Yukon. If you’d like to see the Yukon towing the Bullet and hear about the performance of this newest SUV from GM you can watch the full review on the Truck King YouTube channel.

So, picture that, and you’ll get why I have
