The wife and I just went through this decision making process. We walked through some campers (didn't see a Palomino) The Lance construction is really nice, and the price is right. I was very impressed with the quality/price.
You might want to consider a used unit. A lot of campers out there are a couple years old, have hardly been used or not used at all, and are being sold for half of what they cost new. You're not paying the 'new car' mark-up, and depreciation. That would let you know whether it was going to work for your family.
Just a thought.
