Palomino 5th Wheel reviews

We bought a brand new unit from Camping World and it was horrible from the start. It was in their shop more than with us. Forrest River makes garbage! Our $65,000 fifth wheel had torch cut holes in the frame and squirrels and mice got in it and ruined it. It was sitting on Camping worlds lot for almost 2 months to be sealed up better and more mice got in and got into the ceiling and urinated and pooped everywhere. We did not even want it back. They pretty much told us, sue us then. Who has that kind of money to sue a big company like them. They gave us $24,000 on a camper we paid $65,000 for 2 years earlier. I urge people to stay clear of Camping world and Forrest River products. They are both garbage companies, Not to mention Forrest river denied all plausibility from the very start. They pretty much told us the same thing, sue us if your not happy. Show less

LOVE this fifthwheel! I have had a few lemons and lack luster RVs in the past, but this is not one of them. Best RV for the money and easily one of the most livable units I have found. Comparable to group facilities found in a large toyhauler, but with more refined living space and better comfortability. I love the easy of set up with auto level, wet bay access and easy, as well as quick breakdown. Slide systems are quality along with almost everything else I have seen. I did a ton of research on how to find quality for this purchase and this RV scored super high on my list. I have owned over a year now with no regrets! Would buy it again in a heartbeat. Show less

This RV is awesome! I have owned it for several years after having some not so great starter rigs. I did tons of research before buying, but that really didn't prepare me for how much I would love owning the Columbus 374BH. Quality and style are rarely found together, but Palomino definitely did this one right. I full timed for a few months in it with a family of seven and we found it a very comfortable fifth wheel in spite of our large group size. I would buy this rig again 10 times before I ever looked elsewhere. Show less

Palomino RV's, are not recommended. Just after 3 years they fall apart. Will not recommend to anyone!😡 Panel and wall paper buckling out and water connections not tight that start leaking after a time, just waiting to see what else may go bad. Show less

This fifth wheel has been phenomenal for me! Very high quality, real wood interior with linoleum floor. The craftsmanship is exceptional and has withstood the test of time. Appliances are residential size as well with a full sized kitchen, not the smaller fridges/ovens/microwaves you find in most models. This is great for living in for extended periods. The living room with slides out is ample space, I've even placed a 5ft Christmas tree inside for the holidays! My wife and I have created a lifetime of memories in this trailer and unfortunately have to get rid of it because of life style changes. The bedroom has extreme amounts of storage for a full his/hers wardrobe. There's a 10 gallon water heater compared to the average 6 gallon heater, lots of hot water for normal showers and doing dishes, never worry about running into cold water while showering again! We mounted a TV in the outside storage for outside grilling and viewing. The TV and wall mounts come with the trailer! Make an offer today! The price is very negotiable, schedule a tour today!

We loved the 2021 Palomino Columbus Compass F374BHC. It is a true luxury RV and great for full time travelers, and is good for all season camping. Our family of 6 traveled 15 states in 2 yrs and enjoyed every minute of it. The RV pretty much came with every wishlist item, my wife and I had for a 5th wheel that can accommodate a large family. King bed Bunkhouse Fireplace Theater seating Big screen tv Bath and a half(nice when you have kids) Kitchen island Kitchen pantry Kitchen coffee station Large residential fridge Outside kitchen including a Griddle for cooking outside and a small fridge Rear bumper Tow hitch for our Bike rack Show less

Wow! Difficult to accurately convey the level of cheap workmanship and chaep parts used on our fifth wheel. We had stuff failing, falling off the walls and coming off (trim) the walls on our very first outing. I am not sure how the others rate but Forest River should be avoided! Show less

Understanding nothing is perfect. But it's definitely been a trial. We were to move in July 15th. But when it got delivered the AC didn't work. It took almost a month and a half before it got done. A month later I heard water leaking. I went outside and there it was leaking.from the belly. Next day a friend sat at the table and the chair broke. This vehicle is not meant to live in it's like a beautiful house to only look at. Now the worse is we still have to pay for it. Show less

Our first sabre literally fell apart the first time we used it. Dealer sent back to manufacturer who returned it with a new set of issues. Sabre paid the difference from what we bought to the next camper we bought to make up for the nightmares. The new camper worked fairly well and most issues were minor. However we took it to dealer and told them we could smell sewage in camper sometimes. Thier answer was that the vent pipe is close to the roof vent in bathroom so it must be from there. 10 years later my grey water tank was leaking. Small seepage but over time it filled the bottom cover with kitchen sink water. I tried to buy a new tank but the tanks are discontinued. So I plastic welded my tank. When putting it back in I found the cause of the sewage we were told was caused by the vent pipe being to close to the bathroom ceiling vent. Hi, I bought my camper brand new. After using it a couple times I told dealer I could smell sewage occasionally. They looked at camper and said it has to be coming from vent on roof. I was reconnecting the vent pipe under the sink to find out that the pipe goes into the wall where main stack goes up to roof and this 1-1/2” pvc vent pipe is not connected in the wall…. It moves back and forth and the tee in wall moves freely and bangs back and forth between the two walls….. there is no connection from the main stack pipe coming out of the black tank and the roof!!!! In my experience with two sabres they have very bad quality control. This camper is out of warranty and I just discovered this issue. I will have to remove the bathroom wall to access the pipes to make sure the vent stack is fully connected from tank all the way to the roof. Show less

The FK model has a nice kitchen layout. The issue is the exhaust vent is not vent less nor vented. It is totally enclosed and creates enormous amount of heat on the stainless hood that will eventually have a oil build up inside the hood and will cause a fire. I contacted Palomino with no help and no help from the dealership. I purchased the unit from another individual so no factory warranty. I am afraid my family could parish in a fire if the stove is used any further. Slide outs will leak and should have toppers installed. The slides will leak in random places on the slide outs The photo uploader does not work on this website so I am unable to share. Show less
