This hard side truck camper is perfect for your 1/2 ton truck with a 5'6" bed up to an 8' bed! After you've found your campsite, prepare lunch in the kitchen, and you can dine at the jack knife sofa with a table. The wet bath on board will allow you to stay clean throughout your trip, and the 66" x 75" queen bed up front will provide a great night's rest. This model also includes storage space by the bed so you can bring along your books and valuables.
With any Real-Lite truck camper by Palomino you can sure you are getting a durable camper made to last thanks to the alpha super flex membrane roof, the high density block foam insulation, and the hi-gloss exterior fiberglass.

LED interior lighting and mortise and tenon hard wood cabinets will make your camper feel more like home, and the Congoleum flooring is made to last through years of adventures. These campers include black Rieco Titan convertible jacks (electric on Max models), an exterior battery charging station, plus solar prep if you plan to go off-grid.
Bob is amazing the easiest deal I have ever done. No pressure he did everything we needed and then some. We came over from the coast because no one could beat this deal and we were in and out of there in and hour and half. Best experience ever. Totally worth the three and half hour driver over. Thank you thank you we will be back for next RV. - Kaye

As demand for the Palomino grew, Mr. Landey felt it would benefit his company, Vanguard Ind., to relocate. With most manufacturers and industry suppliers located in the Elkhart, In. area the move eastward seemed logical. Vanguard Industries settled in the community of Colon in 1972. Once in Colon he began to put his plans in motion. By 1973 he had built the main production facility and within days Palomino tent trailers were rolling out the doors.
In 1976, Vanguard added its own Needle Division, in 1978 its own Metal Fabrication Plant, and has several cold storage facilities. On May 27, 1992, the primary production building and offices were destroyed by fire. By late August, 1992, the first 1993 model Palomino rolled of the line in the new 52,300 sq. ft. facility, which was built on the same site as the previous building had been.
The year 1998 continued to see expansion with the addition of a new 75,000 sq. ft. production facility, and another storage facility. In 2002 Vanguard was purchased by Forest River, Inc. This allowed for rapid growth and the introduction of two new towable lines of travel trailers and fifth wheels, Puma and Sabre by Palomino.
