New to campers - purchased a 1991 Palomino - Good camper?

[BlissRamblyn]

I am new to campers. I used to tent camp but with a little baby and a heavy work schedule that isn't much of a reality. So we purchased a 1991 Palomino soft side truck camper. It's fully functional and seemed like a good deal at $500 with a set of Happijac tie downs. We got it home and noticed it does have a leak and there is some water damage around one of the jack mounts.

Is Palomino a good brand? Is the system which raises and lowers the top reliable? Do they stand behind there product and are replacement parts for the top mechanism available? Is this a camper worth putting time and money into?

Palomino has been building RVs since the late '60s as I remember. Since you only paid $500, use it! Might want to do some maintenance on the roof and that one jack but I wouldn't spend bunches on it.
