palomino sabre 32bhok6?

Well, I think it is time to move up. We are gonna be upgrading from our current Palomino Puma 259rbss to something nicer. I was just wondering who has owned a Palomino 32bhok6 and if you are satisfied. I have read that a lot of people say it is a lot of bang for your buck but i am not so much interested in all of the bells and whistles as much as I am interested in build quality.
Can anyone tell me what the subfloor is made of? Is it OSB or is it plywood?

I am also looking at a Jayco 31.5fbhs. I know I am happy with the build quality there. Just trying to make a decision between the two.

thanks
willie

    I'm in love with the 34reqs just can't make the jump financially right now. Hoping to do so in the next year but unfortunately the stick and brick needs a deck this year.

    no seam in the main floor,one solid sheet and it is made special, the glue used to make the OSB is marine grade and the floor has a 25 year warrenty.
    After going there with my wife we went to Awana RV in Shipshawana and ordered a 34 REQS. WE should get it in March.
    I am no spokesman for Awana RV but I can tell you I could not find a better price and it included a fifth wheel hitch installed in my truck.

    Suggest that you go to the FROG forums (Forest River Owners Group) to get more info on the Palomino / Sabre lines. We went to a Puma Unleashed 35' Toyhauler from our 06 Puma 25' fiver..... Love Pumas for the $$$$

    We had a Sabre 31RKTS for 4 years before trading it for our Columbus 320RS.
    The floor is 5/8" tongue in groove plywood. I purchased the Sabre, then the Columbus much because of its construction. 6 sided welded frame was a key feature. Construction quality was great. I toured both the Sabre factory and the Columbus factory. I was impressed with the workmanship of the trailers and the attitude of not only the workers, but the line supervisors.
    Whoever told you the Sabre was a big bang for the buck was correct.
