I for one am interested to see what you do with it. That looks like a nice base vehicle for two people. I have a 2006 3500 with the 5.9, that I have a Northern Lite on, so I can't help you powertrain stuff. I can tell you I did the Spyntec hub conversion kit, which I like for the most part...
Palomino's quality has improved greatly since Forest River bought them. 2013 or 2014 was the first model year with the improvements.

Thanks for the pics looks nice! I love how it's simple and doesn't have any of the unnecessary finishes most rvs have to make them look like the inside of a house.

Also are you going to take it to countries where ULSD isn't available?

You'll see lots of 3rd Gen Dodges with big campers on them and it looks ok because they have airbags pumped up all the way. Personally I want to stay within the tire/axle limits. If you're serious about a hard side camper with enough room for the 5 of you, I'd consider selling your truck and...
Just went through something similar. Sold our travel trailer and bought a 9'6 Northern Lite for 2 adults 2 kids. You will have to accept that you can only have the whole family in the camper when it's time to sleep. Just not enough room unless you have a Host Mammoth or something. Second I...
The ones built in the last few years since Forest River bought the company are way better. They're worth a look. I looked at a new ss1500 but it was a a little small for us. They're all aluminum framed now and everything looked to be good quality (for an RV).
