Palomino Real-Lite Truck Camper
Before you decide to take that next fishing expedition, or mountain Elk hunt, check out the Real-Lite truck campers by Palomino. Choose either a soft side model featuring a pop-up roof which provides a low profile aerodynamic design, or a hard side model with many at-home features.
These models feature a hi-glass gel coat fiberglass exterior, and LED interior lighting that will light the whole space. The hard side models include a laminated walkable roof so you can easily clean the top of your camper and the soft side models feature a Rieco Titan electric roof lift that makes setting up camp easier than ever. Just choose the size that is right for your family, add any options that you desire, and make time to hit the road.
With any Palomino Real-Lite truck camper, you will have everything you need to enjoy the outdoors with!

Manu-Facts:
As demand for the Palomino grew, Mr. Landey felt it would benefit his company, Vanguard Ind., to relocate. With most manufacturers and industry suppliers located in the Elkhart, In. area the move eastward seemed logical. Vanguard Industries settled in the community of Colon in 1972. Once in Colon he began to put his plans in motion. By 1973 he had built the main production facility and within days Palomino tent trailers were rolling out the doors.
In 1976, Vanguard added its own Needle Division, in 1978 its own Metal Fabrication Plant, and has several cold storage facilities. On May 27, 1992, the primary production building and offices were destroyed by fire. By late August, 1992, the first 1993 model Palomino rolled of the line in the new 52,300 sq. ft. facility, which was built on the same site as the previous building had been.
The year 1998 continued to see expansion with the addition of a new 75,000 sq. ft. production facility, and another storage facility. In 2002 Vanguard was purchased by Forest River, Inc. This allowed for rapid growth and the introduction of two new towable lines of travel trailers and fifth wheels, Puma and Sabre by Palomino.
