Palomino Debuts World's First Truck Camper With Fold-Out Deck


Every now and then, you come upon something that makes you think hey, why didn't I think of that? We aren't in the business of building pickup truck campers, but seeing one with a fold-out rear deck certainly makes us wonder why we haven't seen more of them. Credit goes to Palomino RV and its new topper. In fact, it's so new it isn't even listed on Palomino's website.

We still have photos to share, and Palomino RV General Manager Ben Meloche spoke to Truck Camper at length about the new offering. It's based on the company's hard-side 2910 topper, though construction is a bit more robust to handle the large patio that folds down and hangs from the rear. As such, something this size isn't slipping into the back of a Ford Ranger. 2910 is listed for one-ton pickups with an eight-foot bed, and at just shy of 11 feet with a dry weight of 3,572 pounds, this camper – called the 2912 – is also for big pickups.
