We have owned our puma palomino since July 16th of this year and we now have had so many issues it’s crazy !!!
Started with the skylights leaking paid 400 for immediate service called Forrest river to ask who to send the invoice to got zero positive response. This was only after campers inn told us to send it to them and they will submit it to Forrest river!! Our camper door was so tight on the hinges it was nearly impossible to freely open and close the door.
I then pulled all hinge screws one by one and adjusted them. This did very little then I noticed how tightly wrapped the pressed steel hinges were on the hinge pins, after noticing this and it taking me well over and hour to dissect this issue and tons of WD40 and a modified screwdriver to pin inside the hinges and more or less pry them open to get the door freely moving other wise it was about to rip right out of the door frame. Now last night I put waters into my outside kitchen fridge and it was hot and freezer was melting!! We now have done a fair bit of research and also being way under informed over the heat issues it may take on while being in Florida the fridge over heated and crapped out on us now another 160 to 200$ out of pocket expense !!! FUCKEN GREAT !!! Finally there are five people in my family and after I night of showers we noticed a massive amount of water pouring out of the bathroom and tried to figure out where it was coming from, after tons of digging and searching the tub and tub surround and under the surround plumbing I noticed the caulking was peeling off the base of the surround so badly. This is where the crazy leaking was coming from!! I did more trouble shooting sealed the bases to the walls and leaked kept happening, more trouble shooting took place and had to be done in the dark to see clearly while using a high powered flash light to see the areas and see possible crack and voids only to notice many more on the shower door area along where it was fastened to the shower stall
Base. It was leaking everywhere so finally I caulked the entire door area near the base and found many leaking cracks. Once I got all the cracks sealed the leaked stopped!!! Almost forgot we hooked up the water on the site and my bathroom sink was also leaking and we have very little water pressure where we are staying. Have yet to trouble shoot this issue as there is so much stuff to move and take faucet off !
THIS IS A BRAND NEW 2023 CAMPER PUMA PALOMINO MADE BY FORREST RIVER and we’re not satisfied one bit over this or these added cost and I highly doubt based off of our first encounter with this company on the phone we will continue to spend money when this stuff should by all means be covered under warranty !!!
We have used this camper for 2 weeks and have had this many failures and I’m scared shit as to what could possibly go wrong next !!!!!

Good job forest river on your amazing customer service we. Oh BTW, called them about 18 times and no answer, had to have my dealership reach out to them.

I have a 2021 32BHFS, but that option isnt listed. This is absolutely the worst camper I've ever owned. The frame and structure do not support the design. Ex. The slides cause the frame to twist and you can see the movement causing the slides to rip the floor (happened first use) and leaks....still dealing with those. Drained the entire water system, prepped for winter, still have a busted water heater line. Sat at mid state rv for 5 months before it was fixed. I LIVED in a LaCrosse, stayed in the wilderness in a Coleman and thought this Puma would be superior to both. I'd trade for either at this point. Avoid Puma, palomino and forrest river. All the same.

Puma 25 RKQB
Going to a camper, I wanted a white kitchen with an open lay out so not to feel claustrophobic.
Then this has two pantries! One we use for pots, pans and spices and the other one they classified as a coat closet we use as a true pantry.
We installed a larger smart TV so sitting on the loveseat recliners it's like sitting in a movie theatre. There's storage under the banquet seating too.
Puma did an excellent job with storage in the bathroom too including a linen cabinet as well as a cabinet. The shower is large enough for my husband who is 6'2" with glass enclosed doors.
The only downfall with the floorplan would be in the bedroom, they did put in a regular queen bed, but if you are a little large, you might have a difficult time getting around the end of the bed. But that is the only negative comment I have about this camper.
I have not needed to call warranty and they will not let you submit or have a n/a.

Wide floor plan with lots of room, very pretty camper!

List of problems
short in slide causing fuse to blow
AC unit didn't work( got fixed loose wire)
Pinched gas line
Front bedroom wall bowing ( finally fixed second visit to dealer cost me 305.00
Tows like crap. cant stay on road loose control. Really bad on Highway. ( Changed WB and sway control, up graded to they say better one) Still sucks. Just went camping 16th of May thought i was going to die.
Door handle to bath room coming apart
Kitchen sink now has cracks in corner on both sides towards front.
missing trim under medication cabinet in bathroom
Main door wouldn't stay shut
Think that is about it for now.
It has 3 slides lots of room .
Worst thing we ever bought. Now called dealer yesterday and haven't heard from them yet.
I be happy if they would just buy it back , would not buy another one.

We have enjoyed this RV unit with weekend family trips and long trips up to 21 days with the two of us. The nice thing is there is plenty of open floor space for extra dining tables for eating, playing games etc... or for extra sleeping with air mattresses, sleeping bags or even a baby pack n play. The unit pulls easily while providing you a home away from home. The air conditioner works so well that our family tent campers cool off inside during the hot summer months - it actually gets quite cold but it does feel good on those hot days.
All the fabric coverings are in excellent shape and the mattress was always covered with a plastic cover/mattress cover. Non smoking family and no pets.,
