Default Columbus 340rk

Anyone else seen or been in one yet? I almost drove off the lot with one yesterday but convinced myself to ask around and do more research on the brand itself. What say you?

You might get a lot better feedback on an RV site.

Been in a few and have to say they are well built.

Not light though.

Is Columbus a brand or do you need a vehicle checked out in Columbus? I'm in Columbus so if need something looked at, be happy to help out.

Looking at the prelim specs I thought a F150 would never handle it then saw you have a 6.7 F250 which probably would still be a handful. Seems like F450 territory to enjoy towing it. IT's LONG!

This was more of a feeler to see if anyone had experience with the company in general or had friends with them. Or if anyone had personally set foot in any palamino trailer

I've been in them at the RV shows. Very nice units that seem to be of higher quality than their price-point would reflect. The folks on the RV Forums that are buying them seem to be praising them very highly. You get the usual problems that eveyone has when getting a new RV (like anyone could actually aford one of these if they were built to the same standard as an automobile ). I like the full 60" showers/baths they are putting in them. That may be a first for this price.

Palomino seems to be coming out with many new products the last several years. Seems like they have had somewhat of a resurgance in the industry. Must have new leadership that defected from one of the other manufacturers.
