Everyone, thank you for input. I knew getting opinions on here would be worth the weight in gold. I have some additional questions though for opinions. We really like the 2910. I actually was able to track down a phone number of the Palomino factory. I called and spoke with a regional sales rep. Having done research on my own with payloads and vehicle capabilities of my truck I wanted to quiz them on their knowledge. It seems to me the gentleman they put me in touch with was on his game! I told him right up front I didn't want any BS...lol...just give it to me straight. I asked why their retail price was much lower than their competition, his explanation, and I will try to quote his response but bear with me..."Palomino is owned by Forest River. Forest River has a large amount of factories all over the US. With having the number of factories, buying power from them from suppliers is matched by no other manufacturer. He gave me an example...Lance may buy 50 stoves/ovens a week, whereas Palomino being under the Forest River umbrella, Forest River buys 1000 oven/stoves a week...well if you think about it with all their plants he said pushing anywhere from 10 to 30 trailers a day I guess it adds up and price discount on the same things everyone else buys but they get better pricing do to the fact that the buy so much material. I thought that was quite interesting. I was told that my wife and I where more than welcome to come by the factory at anytime for a tour to see the TC's in production. Being from SW Michigan, come to find out the factory isn't that far at all from me! So we are going to try and get in there at some point in the near future. No appointment needed he said. he did tell me the TC's are engineered from the ground up. Welded aluminum framework and vacuum laminated with a structural polystyrene core with steel backers where cabinets meet the walls, ceiling.
From you palomino owners out there, what have you ran into with their product? How is warranty? Has anyone had issues of structural nature? According to them the 2902 has been on the market for 2-3 years now and the 2910 on the market for a year...
