Our 282 BHS came with nice looking aluminum wheels, spare tire + cover, skylight/vent in the bathroom, 19" flat screen TV on a rotating mount, outside speakers, power awning (I know some don't like 'em but I do so far), enclosed underbelly, etc. It also has the second bathroom entrance, which is nice and keeps us from tracking dirt all through the trailer everytime anybody has to use the restroom. It would be nice if the slide out were a little deeper, but an advantage to the way it is is that the trailer is still actually quite usable with the slide room all the way in.

Not many pics yet but I'll have some tomorrow. Took about 3 hours to do the walk through and everything. The salesman told us the other day they were going to put 3 step steps on it cause the first step was so high, it still had the 2 step ones, when the salesman was asked about it he said "I meant the factory was going to put them on the new ones that are being built" that's not what he meant the other day but the dealership owner called Keystone or whoever and they are going to send a set to put on it. One of the Jack screws came loose so they welded it real quick.
Over all really good experience with Flint Hills RV in Andover,KS.
If anyone has questions or wants a pic of any certain thing let me know!

That's nice that they're doing that for you. I'll have to make note of that 3rd step when ours arrives. I do have a couple of questions:
1. Does it have a walk-on roof? I have some MAXXAir vent covers and a Winegard Wingman from my old TT that I'd like to install and it would be nice if I didn't have to worry about laying a board down or something like that.
2. Do you know the distance between the tires on the two axles? I have a pair of deluxe BAL chocks, but I'm pretty sure they won't fit so I'm shopping for alternatives.
Thanks for the update and I'm looking forward to hearing more of your experiences!

We are in the market as well, trading up from a hybrid. We are down to the Bullet and the Outback. We like the "feel" of the Outback better, but love the lite weight of the Bullet, some of the features mentioned here, and the floor plan of the 281BHS "double bunks" that are enclosed (6 year old grandson).
Our sticking point on the Bullet(and would welcome any input) is service as the closest dealers are 2 hours away?

the tires are 16" apart (at the closest point) and the roof is a full walk on roof.
There is also a black tank flush hook up right in front of the back door, this wasn't advertised in anything that i saw, the dealer called the factory to make sure that's what it was, mine isn't labeled or anything.
I just messed around with the awning, it has the gas shocks so if the water on top gets heavy enough it will dump either side, and you can also manually dip one end and tighten it so it stays that way.
Reminder...this is my first one to own and i'm just thinking of other questions i had about stuff that i wasn't too sure about, so if it sounds like i'm posting worthless info...it wasn't worthless to me a couple days ago!!
I'm going to try to figure out how to post pictures...

That's great news about the black tank flush--it was something that we really liked in our old trailer. Same with the awning.
Another question: Is there any kind of storage space under the dinette benches? If not, I wonder what's there and if that space could be used?
Also, this will be our first RV with a slide. Does this one have any kind of awning/cover when the slide is out. I guess I have to be careful there's no branches or leaves sitting on top of it when I close it?
Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it. I'm going a little stir crazy waiting for ours!
