Palomino Puma Ultra Lite 16QBXpage=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2 reviews

This camper is an excellent option for anyone looking for a practical, comfortable, and well-designed trailer, even for those towing with a minivan, as long as the proper precautions are taken. It is especially appealing for people who want something easy to store, simple to winterize and protect, and still spacious enough inside to feel truly comfortable. What stands out most is how well it uses its compact size. Even though it has a relatively small footprint, it feels much more like a larger camper once you are inside. The interior height is one of its best features. Because of the shape and layout, the space feels open, comfortable, and surprisingly easy to move around in. Another major advantage is that you do not have to deal with tarps or the usual hassles that often come with protecting and storing other trailers. It offers a very practical solution for winter coverage while still giving you the feeling of owning a more substantial camper. For a trailer of this size, the features are impressive. It has air conditioning, which can be difficult to find in smaller units, and it also includes a solid hot water tank. In my case, because of the high elevation where I live, a tankless water heater would not really be a practical option, so having a traditional hot water tank is a real benefit. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be the addition of an indoor shower. I believe that with just one or two extra feet in the floor plan, it could likely be incorporated. Even so, having an outdoor shower is still a valuable feature. I also think that adding a cassette toilet alongside a shower area would make this camper even more versatile and would be an outstanding upgrade. Overall, I think this is a wonderful camper. It offers a smart balance of size, comfort, and practicality, and for me, as a first camper, it has been a very satisfying purchase. I am genuinely happy with it. Show less

I bought this travel trailer new in 2015 and i have tried to camp with it but its has always been a nightmare. . The manufacturing of this travel trailer is of the poorest quality.from day 1 , all but one window leaked during the rain . I have had this junk worked on several times but still even today the windows still leak. The floors and walls on the bottom have rotten out . I received no help from the people who made this junk ,after I became what they called a problem customer. They i ignored me and stuck me with this forty thousand dollar junk. The very first time I tried to use the waterpump it did not work . Had to cancel trip . I argued with the manufacturers 3 and days to get the same new water pump and they wouldn't . I check into a hotel room. Do not buy a puma travel trailer. After the first year the floor in the main slide out rotted out from windows leaking trew the walls . The\nManufacturers would do nothing about that and would not revert me for the labor or cost of the materials to repair their junk.dont not buy a puma travel trailer. Show less

Great for families. We used ours well and loved it. Plenty of room for 5 humans and 2 dogs. Absolutely loved the privacy doors in the bunkhouse and master bedroom. Always get extended warranty as all rvs or not built for durability but haul ability. 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

Worked great for all my needs, very spacious. It's perfect for long stays, especially with the washer/dryer connections. I can actually stand up in the shower and have room to move. The electric fireplace was perfect for cold nights and the sound system was perfect for those summer nights. Show less

When I purchased my camper I searched many models and this one caught my eye. This is my first camer,I really like the camper very much. Ordered it at RV wholesalers in Lakeview, Ohio. They were very nice courteous and the order process was painless. The salesman helped me a lot and I got some good opinions at a good price. build quality is good to an extent, The builders took no pride in their work. Leaving sawdust wires, screws, and even the metal plate that they cut out to make the vet opening,in the vet. My outside outlet does not work. That was my fault when I picked up the camper. I should have checked it. I got the trailer in 2021 now it is 2023. I haven't had any major problems with this camper. I would recommend this brand to another as well as the r v dealership. RV Wholesalers in Lakeview Ohio. Show less

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 !!!!! Show less

I have nothing but problems from day 1. Six water couplings had to be replaced. Radio had to be replaced. Winterizing pump had to be replaced. Patio door and 2 windows had to be replaced. Two cabinet doors fell apart. No glue. Fixed them myself. Doors not level, rubbing on one corner. Yellow putty marks all over the white ceiling. Now the toilet water won't stop running when flushed but I'm told that's my problem because my warranty is over. My first trailer didn't turn out to be a good experience. Will never buy another forest river trailer. Show less

My wife and I bought it because of my job. The livability is good and we are happy with it BUT, the quality of material of some parts is terrible; the mattress is awful, (two layers of foam). the first day I used the awning it broke down, I took it to be fixed and the dealer said it wasn't covered by the warranty (even the extended warranty). The shelves of the cabinet under the sink are falling apart. I had to nail the side of my bed because it came off. The lock of the main door is broken already. I bought this travel trailer on June 7 2023 (less than two months now), it doesn't make any sense it has so many problems for the amount of money we have paid for it. Show less

Absolutely LOVE this trailer! By far the best floorplan and overall features among campers in this price range. What I love the most: The front kitchen with the huge window and lots of counter space, pantry, shower with headroom for someone tall, king bed and bedroom with lots of storage, TV is located directly across from recliners, ample bathroom storage, floor to ceiling window in hallway. Overall it's just a really beautiful trailer at a bargain compared to similar units! Show less
