With the way things have been going lately in the housing market, more and more Americans have begun to take on RVing. But, for something to handle the needs of a family while not breaking the bank, it needs to be rather equipped, yet in a frugal manner. Let's see Keystone's take on such a camper.
That unit is none other than the all-new 2026 Bullet Premium 330BKQ, a travel trailer aimed at American families who are looking to take everyone along on trips. It rolls in at just shy of 38 feet, includes three slideouts, a bedroom, one and a half baths, a massive living room with a gorgeous island kitchen nearby, and an entire section of the RV dedicated just for the kids, giving them their own space to get out of everyone's hair.
Now, Keystone's website doesn't say much about this camper and what we find inside, or even how everything looks, so we'll be relying on a little video from Josh the RV Nerd at Bish's RV for an up close and personal look at this fresh layout. A massive thank you goes out to you, Josh, for the work you do!
Since it's the interior of this unit that's kind of the hottest point, let's begin our journey there. Starting at the rear of the camper, we find ourselves in the center of the bunk room, which is a bit different than most. Along one side, we have a bunk bed sitting on top of a large wardrobe and storage system, and across from that, we find a flip-up bunk on top of a modular couch. That's enough for three, possibly even four children.
They also receive their own bathroom, the half-bath I mentioned, and best of all, it's even accessible from the outside, so there'll be no one dragging in mud, dirt, and grime whenever they need to use the bathroom quickly.
Most importantly, that section of cabinetry and wardrobe in the kids' room, upon which one of the bunks is sitting, also acts as an outdoor galley bay, and from the outside, we can access a fridge, sink with running water, spice cabinet, and pull-out griddle. If I may, it's been a while since I've spotted an RV with such an equipped outdoor kitchen.
As we break away from the rear of the unit, we find ourselves in the center of the living room. Along the left side (facing toward the front of the unit), Keystone adds a tri-fold sofa with optional theater seats and a modular dinette. The latter can also be provided as a home-like dining set with stand-alone chairs. This space is located on one of the three slideouts in the 330BKQ; another houses the pull-out sofa section in the bunkhouse.
As for the third slideout, it's home to nothing other than the kitchen, found sitting across from the dining area and sofa I just mentioned. Here, we find a large residential-sized fridge, cooktop, and microwave, but the sink and faucet, and the remaining countertop space are set up as an island-style module.
I do want to point out that it's not the largest kitchen found in a unit of this size, and one reason is because of how much this unit ends up costing us, but it does provide all we need, including plenty of storage space.
Finally, the very front third of the travel trailer is reserved for nothing other than the master bath and bedroom. Best of all, the bathroom can act as a sort of screening room before entry into the bedroom, allowing you to clean up before entering
the space. You can also lock the door and ensure no one goes beyond the bathroom.
Regarding the bathroom, I like what Keystone has done here, providing plenty of shower-stall headroom, a separate vanity with sink, and a toilet position that's not bad at all, either. You may just end up falling asleep on the throne one morning, as there's plenty of space for your knees and legs.
Last but not least, the master bedroom provides a true queen bed with endless storage at the front with his and her wardrobes, and under the bedding too, the latter of which is large enough for you and the kids to play hide and seek in.
Now, one reason I love Josh's videos is that he takes the time to show what a unit with slideouts looks like while hauling, but down the road, or in traveling mode. For the 2026 330BKQ, road mode can be seen as a major drawback, with no areas inside accessible with the slideouts in; you're only able to reach the control panel.
The only two areas that can be accessed under travel mode are the rear bunkhouse and the service bathroom, all thanks to that second entry integrated into the design.
It is also important to understand the limits of this unit while traveling, and with the presence of Dexter Torflex axles underneath, you'll need to stick to roads, in all their shapes and forms, a gravel-covered road at best. For the health of your camper and vehicle and your safety, really, be sure to operate your RV within manufacturer-set limits.
Outside, I would like to draw your attention to the rather well-integrated and stylish light show brought to life by those LEDs everywhere. As standard, we also received a 200 W solar panel setup with a 30 A controller, but no batteries. For two 100 Ah batteries from Dragonfly, you'll need to drop 2,700 extra bones (USD), which also brings us to the most essential piece of the 330BKQ's puzzle: Price.
According to Keystone's website, a
2026 Bullet Premium 330BKQ is going for an MSRP of $59,700. Still, dealers are always out to beat this price. As such, I was able to find these new RVs selling for as low as $46K (€39,400 at current exchange rates), with the majority floating around the $48K mark, some a bit higher, depending on features and any extras in place, or how deep your dealer's pockets may be.
Once we factor in 54 gallons of freshwater, heating and cooling systems, enclosed underbellies, and all that jazz, we'll be confronted with a unit that weighs 8,409 pounds (3,814 kg) dry and can be loaded up to a maximum of 10,500 pounds, so a bit over 2,000 pounds of available cargo space. Just remember that some of this will go to any extras chosen.
Not bad for a family-ready camper selling for a dash under $50K.
