2017 Forest River Palomino SS1609 — Big Adventure in a Compact Package
Ready to take your camping adventures off the beaten path? The 2017 Forest River Palomino SS1609 Real-Lite Soft-Side Backpack Edition gives you the freedom of a truck camper with the comfort and convenience you need to enjoy your time outdoors.
One of the standout features is the Rieco-Titan electric roof lift system, which makes setting up your camper incredibly easy — no hand cranking required. With the push of a button, the roof lifts into position, giving you more time to relax and less time setting up camp.
The SS1609 features a 55" one-piece entry door, making getting in and out considerably easier, while the soft-side design provides a spacious interior once the roof is raised. The camper is designed to fit trucks with either a 6'6" or 8' box, making it a versatile option for truck owners looking to add camping capability without moving into a large trailer.
Inside, you'll find a practical layout with a 60" x 80" cab-over bed and a 36" x 72" dinette that converts to additional sleeping space. LED interior lighting keeps the living space bright while helping conserve battery power, and Congoleum flooring provides a durable, easy-to-clean surface.
The SS1609 also features thoughtful storage and construction details, including mortise-and-tenon walnut hardwood cabinets, pocket-screw lumber-core cabinet construction and ball-bearing drawer guides.
At approximately 1,876 lbs dry, the Palomino SS1609 offers a great way to turn your truck into a comfortable basecamp without the size and complexity of a conventional travel trailer.
Whether you're heading out for a weekend adventure, exploring back roads or simply looking for a convenient way to camp, the Palomino SS1609 makes getting there — and getting set up — easy.
