The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap — treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~5,105 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 3,993 lb + fresh water (44 gal, full) 367 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb — capped at its own rating. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around5,675 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)5,105 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~646 lb (13%)
Cargo capacity1,112 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 73 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin — per model year, because the 186 RBS's published weights changed mid-run.

Palomino (Mixed tier): PaloMini was Palomino's original name for its sub-3,000 lb laminated ultralight, launched for 2013; from 2016 the identical trailers were also badged Real-Lite Mini, and both names ran side by side until the line ended after 2024

Common — usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Palomino is a volume manufacturer. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

The line's bestseller and last survivor - rear bath, one slide, Murphy queen. The 2024 brochure prints fresh water as 35 gal while the 2022 factory flyer and aggregator records say 44.
