WHAT ONE COSTS
price not published

The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap. Treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~16,540 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 15,114 lb + fresh water (75 gal, full) 626 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around18,380 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)18,575 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,818 lb (17%)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 15 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 394RKL's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

FINDING ONE

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Palomino is a volume manufacturer; only one model year; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

sleeps count and bed layout not published; omitted. Sleeping data added by a later pass: optimumrv.com specifications table lists Sleeps: 4; manufacturer floorplan page feature copy lists king bed and tri-fold sleeper sofa (a differing dealer-aggregate figure of 'sleeps 2' was discarded in favor of the direct dealer spec table) Collected from a census gap: this line had no catalogue record at all. tier, bn and mat are the collecting pass's editorial read, not inherited from siblings. Slide-out count added by a later pass: Floorplan image alt text: "The Puma Grand Mesa 394RKL floorplan has one entry and five slide outs."
