I would put Palomino near the bottom as far as quality. I once bought an old Palomino (no idea what year) 8' pop-up TC for $400. It also leaked. I fixed the leak, fixed the furnace, installed a water pump, battery, and inverter and used it for about 4 years. After I got married I determined the bed was too small.
I wouldn't buy another Palomino. I was always fixing something.
Interesting. I think you'll find since Forest River (Warren Buffett) bought them out, the quality has improved greatly.
I have has ZERO issues with my Palomino, nothing, nada. In 2 years of mostly off road camping, nothing has broke, nothing failed, nothing has gotten loose. It don't even squeak and I've twisted the heck out of it.
It don't leak either, but then seal maintenance is paramount, just like any camper (RV). Don't take care of seals and it rots, but then any camper will that has a wood frame.
Obviously, not for everyone but coming from a Lance to the Palomino, I have to say that I'm very pleased and because it's a PUP I don't even know it's back there....
