Palomino Puma 27RLSS
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $28,800.
dry weight 6,203 lb + fresh water (43 gal, full) 359 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 27RLSS's published weights held steady.
