2027 Palomino Real-Lite HS-1806

2027 Forest River Palomino Real-Lite HS-1806 Hard-Side Truck Camper for Sale

2,546-lb. actual dry weight. Hard-side construction. 400 watts of solar. Lithium power. Factory A/C. Dual awnings.

This 2027 Forest River Palomino Real-Lite HS-1806 is a fully equipped hard-side truck camper designed for buyers who want the convenience and solid-wall comfort of a traditional RV while keeping the freedom and versatility of a truck-mounted camper.

Stock NP21381 is in stock now at Prosser’s Premium RV Outlet in Sturtevant, Wisconsin.

Most importantly, the MSO for this specific camper shows an actual dry weight of 2,546 pounds, so we're using the real weight of NP21381 rather than a generic brochure estimate.

Full-Height Hard-Side Truck Camper

Unlike a soft-side truck camper, the HS-1806 has permanent full-height rigid walls. There is no roof to raise when you arrive at camp.

That gives you:

• No pop-up setup required
• Solid-wall insulation and weather protection
• A quieter interior in wind and rain
• Full standing room as soon as you arrive
• Better cold-weather comfort than a fabric-sided camper
• A more traditional RV feel inside

The tradeoff is additional weight and wind resistance compared with a soft-side camper, but for buyers who prioritize comfort and convenience, the hard-side design has some significant advantages.

Actual Dry Weight: 2,546 Pounds

The MSO for stock NP21381 confirms:

Actual Dry Weight: 2,546 lbs.

When matching any truck camper to a pickup, the truck's payload capacity, rear-axle rating, tire ratings, bed dimensions, and camper center of gravity should all be verified—not simply whether the truck is labeled a 3/4-ton or 1-ton.

Prosser RV can help you evaluate truck and camper compatibility.

Factory Hard-Side Package

The MSO confirms that NP21381 includes Forest River's Hard Side Package, with an extensive factory equipment list.

Solar and Electrical

This camper is well equipped for camping away from hookups:

• Two 200-watt solar panels — 400 watts total
• 100Ah lithium battery
• Bluetooth charge controller
• 12V refrigerator
• LED interior lighting
• 22" 12V LED television

That combination gives the HS-1806 a strong foundation for boondocking and dry camping.

Factory-Installed Air Conditioning

This particular camper isn't merely A/C-ready.

The MSO specifically confirms:

A/C INSTALLED

That's an important distinction when you're comparing similarly equipped truck campers, since you don't have to purchase and install the air conditioner separately.

20,000-BTU Furnace

For cooler-weather camping, NP21381 includes a:

20,000-BTU furnace

Combined with its hard-side construction, that makes the HS-1806 a much more attractive option for spring, fall, and cooler Northwoods camping.

On-Demand Hot Water

The factory Hard Side Package includes an:

On-demand water heater

Instead of heating and maintaining a traditional tank of hot water, the system heats water as needed.

The camper also includes a hot and cold outside shower, which can be especially useful for rinsing off muddy boots, pets, fishing gear, or outdoor equipment.

Electric Camper Jacks

NP21381 is equipped from the factory with:

Electric jacks

Electric jacks make loading, unloading, and leveling the camper considerably easier than manual jack systems.

For owners who plan to remove the camper from their truck at the campsite or at home, this is a particularly valuable feature.

Dual Exterior Awnings

This camper has more outdoor-living capability than many truck campers.

The MSO confirms:

• Rear awning
• Side awning with LED lights

The side awning creates a sheltered outdoor living area, while the integrated LED lighting helps make the space useful after dark.

The rear awning adds protection around the entry area.

22-Inch 12V LED Television

The MSO also confirms a:

22" 12V LED TV

Using a 12V television is particularly useful when camping without shore power because it can operate directly from the RV's DC electrical system rather than requiring 120V AC power.

Kitchen and Interior Features

Factory equipment includes:

• 12V refrigerator
• Microwave
• White cabinetry
• LED interior lighting
• MaxxAir roof vent

The MaxxAir vent helps with airflow and ventilation when you don't necessarily need to run the air conditioner.

Front Cap With Line-X Windshield Protection

One of the more interesting features in the Hard Side Package is the:

Front cap with Line-X windshield protection

The front of a truck camper takes a considerable amount of wind, bugs, road debris, and weather exposure. The protective Line-X treatment helps protect this high-impact area while giving the camper a distinctive appearance.

Onboard RV Toilet and Holding Tanks

The HS-1806 provides the self-contained convenience buyers often want when moving up from a simpler truck camper.

With its onboard RV toilet and separate holding tanks, you're less dependent on campground restroom facilities—particularly valuable when:

• Boondocking
• Hunting
• Fishing
• Camping in national forests
• Staying in rustic campgrounds
• Traveling long distances

Built for Off-Grid Adventures

With 400 watts of solar, a 100Ah lithium battery, 12V refrigerator, furnace, onboard bathroom facilities, and on-demand hot water, this HS-1806 is particularly well suited to campers who don't always want to plug into a campground pedestal.

It's a strong setup for:

• Boondocking
• State and national forest camping
• Hunting and fishing trips
• Longer road trips
• Cooler-weather camping
• Remote campsites
• Weekend getaways

Carry Your Camper and Still Tow

Because the camper rides in the pickup bed rather than behind the truck, the receiver hitch can remain available for another properly rated trailer.

Depending on the truck and overall weight ratings, that can make it possible to bring:

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

That's one of the biggest advantages of a truck camper: your living accommodations ride in the bed while your hitch can remain available for your toys.
