01 What Bullet is
Bullet is Keystone's lightweight, aerodynamic travel-trailer line — everything needed in a light package, with a slippery radius front cap that makes it one of the easier-towing value trailers. It rounds out the Keystone value stack with Passport, Hideout and Springdale.
For 2026 it spans two builds. Bullet Classic is the lightweight core — single- and dual-axle small trailers from teardrop-light couples' plans to family bunkhouses, several towable by capable SUVs. Bullet Premium extends the line into larger, half-ton-towable floorplans with triple slides and a 54-gallon fresh tank, approaching a fifth wheel's interior openness in a bumper-pull. Both share vacuum-laminated walls, the aerodynamic front cap, a walkable roof and color-coded 12-volt wiring.
This hub profiles a single-axle couples' plan and a family bunkhouse from the Classic build, plus a triple-slide rear-living Premium, and catalogues the full 2026 roster below.
02 Floorplans profiled in depth
Five Bullet floorplans — four from the lightweight Classic build and one from the larger Premium build — are profiled in full with RVUSA-verified specifications. Each links to its own page. The remaining 2026 plans are catalogued below.
| Floorplan | Dry wt | Length | Sleeps | Layout | MSRP* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1900RD | 3,490 lbs* | 21' 11" | 4 | U-shaped dinette, wardrobe pantry, single axle | $25,995 |
| 2640BH | 5,220 lbs* | 30' 4" | 10 | Double-size bunks, U-dinette, large slide, full bath | $37,425 |
| 2140BH | 4,335 lbs | 25' 4" | 8 | No-slide double bunkhouse, front bedroom, U-dinette | $32,985 |
| 2240RK | 4,740 lbs | 26' 9" | 5 | Rear-kitchen couples' layout, single slide, pass-through storage | $34,178 |
| 310RES | 8,300 lbs* | 35' 11" | 5 | Rear entertainment/living, triple slide, two awnings, island | $60,585 |
Hitch weight, payload, dimensions, tanks, sleeping capacity, axles and slides are RVUSA-verified; dry weight and GVWR carry an asterisk where derived (dry plus payload). Selling prices on these value trailers typically run well below MSRP. Options affect final weights — always confirm against the unit's own weight sticker.

Coverage is not complete, and this matters. These campaigns come from two passes over NHTSA’s public record: a query-by-query harvest of the recall API (1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero), and a sweep of NHTSA’s complete recall flat file (325,650 rows), which added 46 campaigns the API harvest had missed. It missed them because the roster it worked from was built by a catalog endpoint that refuses most requests, so entire manufacturer names were never asked about — NHTSA files several Forest River sub-brands as makes of their own. Two limits remain: NHTSA sometimes files a roster under a parent name, and some matches below rest on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Campaigns affecting only pre-2005 units fall outside this catalog’s range and are not listed. This page is a starting point, not a clearance. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy, and again before you tow.

How this count is drawn. A report is counted here only when NHTSA’s own model field names this line. What the owner typed in the description is never used to attribute a report: our line names are ordinary English words, and an owner writing “imagine my surprise when the axle went” or naming the state of Montana is not reporting a Grand Design Imagine or a Keystone Montana. The total does include reports NHTSA filed under this line’s own trim badge — Bullet Premier — because it names the same trailer.
Read these as reports, not as findings. Complaints are submitted by owners and NHTSA does not verify them; no complaint here has been confirmed as a defect, and none of them is a recall. The sample is also self-selected — only owners motivated to file appear in it — so a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Use the pattern, not the total: a component that keeps recurring is worth inspecting on any used unit. File or search complaints at NHTSA.
