Not too many Palomino owners on this forum........but I'm one of them. We have a 2011 Palomino S-238. It's very similar to the B-238ex except we don't have the front cargo deck. We bought it in November and at first view, it's very well built.
The AC and heather are ducted which is something we didn't have in our previous HTT (Travelstar 21SSO). There's also a tub in the bathroom instead of a shower. Another thing we love is that 8 feet tray in the front cargo compartment. You just pull the tray out to get what you want. I'm not sure if any other HTT have that option. Other than that, all HTT are very much similar.
We bought it in Pennsylvania and brought it back to Maine.Towing the HTT was very easy, and I noticed in your profile you have a Dodge Ram 1500 just like us.
Since we bought it in November, the only thing we didn't do yet is camping with it......no need to say we're anxious for spring to arrive.
Conclusion: We love that Palomino.
Happy camping
Dre

Don't have one of these but I looked at one. We went with a bunk house and have loved it ever since.

It's very close to the ROO/Shamrock 23SS. We have an '07 and love it. The kitchen countertop space is great. Haven't found anything we DIDN'T like. This Palamino has the tub instead of shower - like that. Bathroom and wardrobe is flip-flopped on the 23SS. Never feel closed in, even during cold or nasty weather - plenty of space. You might check the 23SS online, just for comparison. If you need to compare $$, go to RV Wholesalers and they will email you the price. It really is THE price - no games. Happy Shopping!

We have a 2010 Palomino S-238 and as drenjoey said it is similar to the B-238ex. We've done a lot of camping in the last two seasons with ours and have been happy with Palomino.

Palomino sold me on the hybrid concept. I've had a great opportunity to see RonandAmy+Beanie's camper, and it's a solid unit. Good ground clearance. Nice floorplan. The ONLY reason I'm not camping in a Palomino is because I couldn't find a Palomino dealer willing to accept my trade-in.

Had a 2005 21SD and loved it. Only upgraded becuase the kids were getting bigger and didn't want to share a bed Should have ordered the 235SDSL instead. Would buy another Palomino.

We have a rather odd hybrid. It has the queen bed front, over sized twin out the side, and rear bunk beds. We have an infant, 3 year old, and 90lb pound lab. I'm not sure on where the lab likes to go. In the pup, he would opt for sleeping on the floor against our front bunk. Its natural for him to sleep at the foot of our bed.
