Palomino Real-Lite Truck Camper
Whether your destination is the woods or lake, the Real-Lite truck campers by Palomino will be the perfect companion. You can choose from the more aerodynamic soft side truck campers that feature a pop-up roof and a low profile, or choose the hard side campers with added standard features for a more at-home feel.
Each Real-Lite is constructed with high density block foam insulation, an Alpha Super Flex membrane roof, and a white or grey hi-gloss exterior fiberglass. Inside, you'll enjoy LED lighting, Congoleum flooring, a Maxx Air vent, and Mortise and Tenon hard wood cabinets. Some commonly ordered options include air conditioning, electric jacks, a 100-watt solar panel, and many more options depending on the model you choose.
The camping lifestyle has never been easier than in a Real-Lite truck camper by Palomino. Choose yours today!

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.
