Palomino Solaire owners

We just purchased a 317bhsk. It was between that and the Cherokee 294bh limited.

Ultimately it came down to us getting aluminum construction, fiberglass exterior, rigid insulation and torsion axles for the same price as the Cherokee. Those were key points for us.

Yes some of the interior trim is a little chincy, but so was some of the trim on the Cherokee.

We love ours. I would suggest that you visit Forest River Forums and click Palomino to find a lot of comments from Solaire owners. The line is pretty new and was introduced in late 12 early 2013.

We'd buy another one when the time comes.

We love our SolAire 251RBSS so far. Haven't had it out much yet, but I've found fewer flaws than either of the other two new fancier campers we've purchased. This one's my favorite by far. It feels very spacious with the large slide on a 25' camper. There's more storage than there appears. The bathroom is nice and roomy too. The bedroom's tight and side cabinets need some mods, but still comfortable enough. We haven't found anything that has made us scratch our heads...yet.

Same here. Not an owner, but we did look at the 318TSBHK and the 317BHSK. They were on the top of our list until we actually got in them and was not impressed with either. Everything looked dated and materials screamed cheap. Different strokes for different folks I guess. We looked at a few Kodiaks and liked them, but they were just too heavy for us in that range. We ended up in Coachmen's Freedom Express line and have been happy since.

You could probably get better opinions than mine from actual owners in their forum.

I walked they their 40' or so bunkhouse, wasn't impressed and ended up in a mountaineer by Keystone
