Palomino SolAire Travel Trailer reviews

We bought this RV as a non-current model from our local dealers existing stock. We love the layout and find the quality of the build high compared to other brands that we looked at. We had some issues with the glass shower door track leaking, this was a common issue with this type of door and was quickly resolved by our dealer. Part of the issue was related to having the trailer spot on level due to the east west shower layout. Speaking of the shower, this is one of the features we love about the Solaire line, nice big showers with a seat. We love the outdoor fridge and induction cooktop with a nice size counter included. We had an issue with the TV and the power antennae the first time we used the trailer, the TV was replaced, and the antennae issue resolved by our dealer with no issue. We are currently working with our dealer on trading up to the 258RBSS because we have moved up in canine size and need a little more room. I feel a lot of the support issues that are written about are dealer related, we have had great support from our local dealer and are not hesitant at all to buy this brand again. Show less

Water heater failed twice, once during warranty period, once after. Shower dome leaked from screws being over tightened in all four corners after warrantee. Water intake manifold leaked & had to be replaced..no water for three weeks was a major inconvenience. Now the shower drain & outdoor sink piping are leaking. Please take some pride in your work. We paid $55k for a huge headache. Show less

We've owned all kinds of RV's, from 36' Grand Junction fifth wheel, smaller 30' Southwind Class A gas, to 37' to 42' diesel pushers. This 30' trailer, however, is our first at this type and size. I looked at Arctic Fox, Jayco White Hawk, Grand Design Imagine, and Keystone. This unit came in below $30k, including a new Blue Ox 4 point hitch (installed), electric fireplace below the 40" tv, 21' electric awning, 2 slide toppers, outside refer, electric burner, bbq that mounts on the bumper, Dexter torsion axles, solar pre-wire, rear camera pre-wire, double doors with swing down steps, outside speakers and tv mount, double 36" deep slides, electric stabilizers, electric tongue jack, and more.It was only used lightly, and tires (rated for 70 mph) look nearly. The front kitchen is my wife's prize, with a large front window of automotive glass. This unit is now under Forest River ownership, but the Palomino quality standards are still enforced at their original plant. Show less

It's a beautiful unit easy to maneuver around in the furniture is not of the best quality it's peeling and will have to be replaced the appliances are great bathroom is really spacious and nice the bedroom is very comfortable with plenty of storage. I will have to say storage in the unit inside is awesome. Storage on the outside front is Tiny Show less

Puma 26rls not listed Wont do it again! We have had it three weeks and already a recall and can’t get the dealer to call us back. Rubber roof is coming loose, under belly flaps like crazy when towing. This is our third brand new one. Down sized for easier pulling so far the only thing going for it. I wish I could send it back.

I love the floorplan of this RV. The quality is extremely poor and I'm very disappointed in it. This was purchased in 2019 brand new. Cost me about $30k. Every year I take it in for winterizing and every year I've had to have repairs done. All of which aren't covered by my extended warranty. My cabinet hinges keep breaking. The panelling keeps pulling apart as it's only attached with staples. The glass shower doors weren't siliconed when they were installed so the shower leaked water everywhere. I had to silicone around the doors. I also had to check the drain under the shower because of water leaking and it wasn't connected properly. Now this year the bed is falling apart. It looks like the framing was also put together with staples. This isn't covered under warranty either so I'm going to have to get some screws and rebuild my queen bed. Probably going to have to go thru the whole unit and make sure it's built properly. I've already had to replace the mattress as it was breaking down after only two years of sleeping on it. The previous RV's I've owned I also purchased brand new and I've never had these problems. Not sure if it's the manufacturer as this is my first experience with Forest River. But I won't be inclined to purchase another RV from them again. Very disappointed in the quality. I've also had problems with the seal on the toilet, the awning was falling off, those were covered under warranty. The fridge wouldn't run on electricity and after investigation when I took the outside access panel off I found it wasn't plugged into the outlet. The fridge is making a weird sound but nobody can find out a reason. If it craps out I hope it does it while I have the extended warranty. The roof vent snapped and fell off just with driving down the highway, never been off road with the RV. The microwave quits when defrosting. Still haven't figured out whats happening with that. I had a water leak the dealer couldn't find but they did have to do a leak test on the trailer and reseal the entire unit. That was under my extended warranty. I've realized my trailer is a $30k pos. Very disappointing. Show less

Purchased new March 2021. Perfect couples camper. Have spent 45 nights in it as of July 24. We have been to Tennessee twice, Florida once and a local lake three times. Next trip is to Myrtle Beach for 2 weeks. My husband has upgraded the Leveling jack stabilizers, replaced the trifold couch with a Love seat duel electric recliner. Other than wishing it had more closet space and a ladder on the back it has been great so far. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 fur babies. Show less

Bought brand new, ceiling leaks, both sides of master bedroom. Main door was warped right from day 1, rubber seal under main slide out came completely loose and is allowing water to enter on the floor. I would never recommend this brand or model to anyone!! Took it back for warranty work to be done Dec 2nd, got trailer back April 17th, nothing fixed. Have to return it to dealers again in October. We are very disappointed and upset with Forest River.
