The magic of a road trip lies not just in the destination but the journey. Comfort, convenience, and reliability on that journey are key, and the 2023 Palomino Backpack Edition Hard Side Truck Camper HS8801 embodies all three. Manufactured by Palomino RV, this 2023 model exemplifies their commitment to providing adventure seekers with a lightweight yet robust truck camper, ideal for those spontaneous getaways or planned trips.
The camper impresses right off the bat with its sturdy aluminum frame which not only promises durability but keeps the overall ship weight to a manageable 2,460 lbs. Its construction is accentuated by the high-density block foam insulation which comes with an Alpha Super Flex Membrane Roof and a reliable plywood substrate. This attention to detail is not just visible but palpable, offering comfort and safety to occupants.
The interior shines with LED lighting, illuminating the beautifully constructed Mortise and Tenon Hard Wood Cabinets. The interior's design ethos revolves around utility and charm with Congoleum flooring and decorative wall board. Notably, the camper also comes fitted with a vented battery box, battery quick disconnect, and is pre-wired for electric jacks. The exterior battery charging station adds to the practicality and convenience of the camper. Apart from being utility-conscious, it embraces sustainability with solar prep capability.
One of the most striking features of this camper is its compact size. The exterior length stands at a modest 18 feet with a floor length of 9 feet, maintaining a perfect balance of compactness and living space. Its storage capacities leave little reason for concern with a 21-gallon fresh water tank, a 7-gallon gray water tank, a black water tank of 8 gallons, and an LP tank capacity of 40lbs.
Hot and cold outside shower, high gloss exterior fiberglass - which is available in either white or grey - and a front cap with Line X windshield offer the necessary touches of sophistication, while the On-Demand water heater, Maxx Air Vent, and frameless windows ensure the ultimate in comfort during your journey.
With an MSRP of $26,280, the 2023 Palomino Backpack Edition Hard Side Truck Camper HS8801 offers an excellent deal for those who seek out adventure. Not only does it offer a secure, comfortable shelter on the road, but it also ticks all the right boxes when it comes to performance, sustainability, and value for money.
The 2023 Palomino Backpack Edition Hard Side Truck Camper HS8801 is not just a camper; it's your doorway to endless experiences, memorable journeys, and tales worth telling. Discover the freedom of the open road with it, for the path less traveled often leads to the greatest adventures.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
