We selected this RV because our 1/2 ton truck was able to tow it. It is the perfect size for someone who is just beginning to learn about the RV camping lifestyle. We loved that everything was easy to get too, yet there was enough space to not feel cramped. We had planned on enjoying this camper during weekend escapes. We loved that it came with a BBQ grill! Imagine, sitting at the campground, cooking on the grill and sitting under the stars...

Palomino Puma has the worst customer support, the quality of the RV is sub standard to say the least. If you buy one of these I would STRONGLY recommend that you buy some sort of extended warranty because the dealers do not care and the manufacturer after several calls and voice mails never returned my calls... There was leaks on the windows, the plastic used for the vents on the roof disintegrated in the first year of ownership, the decals on the front cap faded with 1 one year... You walk on the roof and you can fell how cheap the structure below is. The strip that cover the screws on the side that hold the roof membrane also disintegrated 18 months after we got our.... I got mine at TravelCamp in Jacksonville Florida... Very nice people until you sign the papers and sign for it... After when you need support or repairs they are the worst... I am not the type of person that does this type of reviews but this whole experience of owning a PALOMINO PUMA was so bad that I had to write this to warm other people... Run from it.

We have had nothing but trouble with this camper! Now with that said. We searched for over three years of getting the wants of me and my husband in one camper lol. The floor plan is perfect with the recliners for him and a kitchen table for me, large enough to haul the Harley around without all the weight. So we bought it May 30 left on June 26 to California from Ohio and June 30 in Albuquerque New Mexico the roof flies off. Well to be more fare the front part of the seam let loose causing the vinyl to flap which in turn busted off the roof vents! To get a hold of any kind of customer service or warranty people was a nightmare. I did give warranty a 5 star for right now because we are on our way to take it back to the factory, Gonna see if their words are true to make this right with us! Now moving on, one tire was bald from where transport drug it, didn’t notice until a few days later. The bald part was always down! Next we are in Arizona the desert and the awning rips. Warranty doesn’t even know about this yet! The bedroom panaling is tore from the wall and bubbles everywhere else practically! The quality of this camper is POOR be on belief. There must not be any quality control person working for forest rivers! Very dissatisfied with our camper! A lot of our problems is not just cosmetic, it had the potential to really hurting someone on the highway! Beware if purchasing a 2021 puma 5th wheel toy hauler! 382THS

I would say it would be cheaper to have them give me my money back or give me a new one but will NEVER buy another puma. you would thing to pay as much for it as you would a car the quality would be so much more we did t make it to the wv ky. Border and had to take it back to get a vent cover replaced and it has cascaded from there

This is a great RV. Best feature in my opinion is the storage! Even some larger Fifth Wheels do not have the storage this model has. Huge closet in the hallway for hanging clothes. Not just two small ones either side of bed you typically find. Nice enclosed bathroom with ample room. Large pantry and more cabinets throughout. Easily towed, even with a 1/2 ton vehicle. Easy setup with front electric jacks and smooth scissor ones in rear.

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.,
