First hand Palomino/Forest River TC opinions?
I've got some specific criteria I'm looking for in a TC, the Palomino Backpack 6601 seems like a good fit for my needs. There really aren't a lot of reviews of Palomino out there, but the sheer number...

While I can't comment on the 2010-up models, I can say that if I were in the market for a replacement for my 2000 model, I would probably look at another Palomino Backpack or Real-Lite.
Mine has served its purpose and doesn't seem to be deteriorating at all with use.
On the possibility of leaks, I can only suggest that you start out ahead of the leaks and stay ahead of them. Don't trust that your brand new camper came from the factory completely weather tight; even the expensive high-end campers aren't 100%. Go over every seam and protrusion with a fresh tube of Dicor when you get the camper home, closely inspect the caulk annually, and consider scraping and replacing every 2 years.
