Went to a local dealer's exhibition this evening. Saw a Palomino Real Lite, made by Forest River. Deja vu all over again. It looks like an RPod, same vanilla colour, same layout as a 171 except no bathroom. It had a dropped floor in the interior. Eight feet wide or thereabouts. Forest River is copying its own models? ------------- 2014 RP171 HRE 2010 F150 |

Not copying, it's obviously for a different target market with no bath an the step down floor..

Do you mean the palo mini? I must admit there are a few really great floor plans that I really like even more than the r-pod. The lack of an r-dome would be a deal breaker for me though. I think the Real Lite is their truck topper series.

Went to the dealer website. It is a Real Lite Mini 13D. The site displayed interior pictures not exterior. I don't know how to post my pics yet. The roof is flatter but low, necessitating the sunken floor inside. There was no awning rail on the passenger side but it had a rain gutter. The rather rugged looking wheels are mounted under the body. Dry weight was 2105 lbs. ------------- 2014 RP171 HRE 2010 F150 |

looks like they are going after the T@B market.
