2027 Palomino Real-Lite 1604

2027 Forest River Palomino Real-Lite SS-1604 Soft-Side Truck Camper for Sale

Low-profile travel. Only 1,592 lbs. actual dry weight. 400 watts of solar. Factory A/C and electric jacks.

This 2027 Forest River Palomino Real-Lite SS-1604 is a lightweight soft-side truck camper built for campers who want maximum mobility without carrying the height and weight of a traditional hard-side truck camper.

Stock NP21332 is in stock now at Prosser’s Premium RV Outlet in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. Most importantly, the actual MSO for this specific camper shows a dry weight of only 1,592 pounds—so we're using the real weight of this unit rather than a generic brochure estimate.

Why Choose a Soft-Side Truck Camper?

The Real-Lite SS-1604 uses a fold-down soft-sided upper section. When you're traveling, the roof lowers and dramatically reduces the camper's overall profile.

That gives you several practical advantages over a full-height hard-side truck camper:

• Less frontal area and wind resistance
• Potentially better fuel economy
• Lower overall travel height
• Less surface area exposed to crosswinds
• Easier clearance under trees, carports, and other obstacles
• Lighter overall camper weight
• More compact storage and highway profile

Actual fuel economy varies by truck, speed, terrain, weather, and load, but reducing both weight and frontal area is a meaningful advantage when you're carrying a camper mile after mile.

When you reach camp, the electric roof lift raises the camper and gives you the living space and standing room you want without carrying that full height down the highway.

Just 1,592 Pounds Actual Dry Weight

The standout number on this particular SS-1604 is its weight:

Actual Dry Weight: 1,592 lbs. per MSO

That's exceptionally light for a fully equipped truck camper with factory-installed air conditioning, electric jacks, lithium power, and solar.

The lighter weight can make the SS-1604 attractive to buyers who want to stay within the payload capabilities of a wider range of pickup trucks. As with any truck camper, actual fitment should be based on the specific truck's payload, axle ratings, tire ratings, bed dimensions, and camper center of gravity.

Compact SS-1604 Dimensions

• Actual Dry Weight: 1,592 lbs. per MSO
• Floor Length: approximately 7'
• Exterior Width: approximately 86" / 7'2"
• Travel Height: approximately 6' with the roof lowered
• Wheel-Well Width: approximately 46.5"
• Fresh Water Capacity: approximately 15 gallons
• Sleeping Capacity: up to 3
• Main Bed: Queen

The compact size makes the SS-1604 particularly appealing for couples, solo travelers, hunters, anglers, and anyone who wants a simple camper that's easy to take into more remote areas.

Factory Soft-Side Package

This camper's MSO confirms the factory Soft Side Package, which includes an impressive list of equipment:

• Two 200-watt solar panels — 400 watts total
• 100-amp-hour lithium battery
• Bluetooth charge controller
• 20,000-BTU furnace
• 12V refrigerator
• Electric roof lift
• Roof-lift remote
• MaxxAir vent
• LED interior lighting
• High-gloss exterior
• CO2 detector
• Pre-wiring for electric jacks
• Convertible jack provisions
• White cabinetry

Factory-Installed Air Conditioning

This isn't merely pre-wired for A/C.

The MSO specifically shows:

A/C INSTALLED

That's an important distinction when comparing this camper with other lightweight SS-1604s that may require air conditioning to be added later.

Factory Electric Jacks

The MSO also confirms:

ELECTRIC JACKS

Electric camper jacks make loading, unloading, leveling, and camper setup considerably easier than working with manual jacks.

For a truck camper that may come on and off the pickup regularly, this is a particularly useful factory option.

Hot Water and Outside Shower

This SS-1604 also includes:

HOT WATER / OUTSIDE SHOWER

That adds useful camping capability while avoiding the extra space and weight required for a full interior bathroom.

The SS-1604 is intentionally a no-interior-bath layout, helping keep its weight exceptionally low. For buyers who prioritize lightweight travel, simplicity, and truck compatibility over an indoor toilet and shower, that's part of the attraction.

Built for Off-Grid Camping

With 400 watts of factory solar, a 100Ah lithium battery, 12V refrigerator, furnace, and low overall weight, the SS-1604 is particularly well suited for:

• Boondocking
• National and state forest camping
• Hunting trips
• Fishing trips
• Weekend camping
• Remote campsites
• Traveling where hookups aren't available

It's a simple, efficient camping platform without requiring a trailer behind the truck.

Keep Your Receiver Hitch Available

Because your camper rides in the pickup bed, the truck's receiver hitch can remain available for another properly rated trailer.

Depending on the truck and combined ratings, that gives you the flexibility to bring along:

• A boat
• ATV or UTV trailer
• Utility trailer
• Other recreational gear

That combination—camper in the bed, toys behind the truck—is one of the major advantages of a truck camper.
