Smile Palomino Sabre 5th Wheel

I am considering the purchase of a Palomino Sabre 31 CKTS. I would like for any input from the members of this forum.

We own a 2010 31 rkds sabre fifth wheel and are really enjoying the trailer. As a matter of fact we had been thinking of trading it in for 31 ckts. Since it is second air conditioner ready I would definitely ask for it since it gets hot out here in the south west.

We have a 2009 Sabre 32BHTS and it is very nice!! Excellent quality and several nice features... We sold our 2006 Keystone Laredo to buy the Sabre and have absolutely no regrets...

Good luck in your search.

We have the Sabre 31 REDS, and we love it. We lived in it last winter in Osoyoos BC, and found it very comfortable. Lots and Lots of cupboards. Haven't filled them all yet, but will
since we will be fulltiming in it starting in June. No regrets on buying this unit. Big bang for the buck.

Recently traded an '09 Sabre 30RLDS for a '11 Sabre 31RETS. Needed the additional slide since we adopted a boxer pup. LOVE both units. Well built!! Pretty obvious since we are repeat buyers, huh? Stayed in the '08 for 5 months at a local campground. Neighbors at home thought we had vanished!! Great value for the features!

We have the 32BHOK and really like it. We've had it out quite a bit since buying it a little over a year ago and no issues.

We just purchased a 32bhok-6 and love it ! comming from a flagstaff tt 832bhss we dont know how we got along with out a 5th wheel before . Fit and finish is awesome and plenty of storage . I would recommend a 2 step step stool to reach some of the higher cabinets if your shorter . The stool will fit nicely under the kitchen sing cabinet .

We own an '11 Sabre 31CKTS and love it! We had them add the second air conditioner and it's been great! We live in west Texas, near Abilene to be exact. Been extremely hot...3 digit numbers and have had no problem. Got the fireplace insert and love that as well.

We do own a 2010 Palomino Sabre 31 CKTS that we are thinking of selling. Only used a couple of months. Just now joined this forum and I know your post is rather old and you might have already purchased your trailer. Thanks!

Katzmeow62,

Congrats on your new 5th wheel. We just took delivery on our 2012 34REQS-6 last week and had a 2nd air added (we're from Texas too). If memory serves, it was around a $1,200-$1,300 option, installed.

Enjoy your new rig.

Thank you Westyguy! We took the new RV to Shiner last week for a trial run. So far so good! We also checked out the Brewery for the tour. IF youve never been to Shiner, the city park has full hookups for 20 bucks a night. Its a huge park and we were the only ones there. The RV spots are on a hill that over look the park. Very nice! Will have hubby call and get a quote on the AC, were gonna need it soon!

This is for amxpress.

Just wandering how that dodge handles the that 31 foot. Just bought my 31 rets-6 and will be bringing it home in march or april. I think my 2500 dodge diesel will handle it but just looking to see how yours does.

We just came back from our second trip in our new RKOK. Everything is working and no problems. We know there are no leaks either, it rained hard on us for 2 days. It got cold an we used the heater, something that rarely happens and we also used the fireplace. Were very happy with our 5th wheel!

We are enjoying ours also. Waiting on a new counter top (noticed it wad scratched when we were doing our walk through), new door for the bathroom (nick at the top), and a new air mattress for the sofa (slow leak in this one). Couple of little things need tweeking but dealer will take care of those while they're replacing the counter top. Visited with our dealer today and hoping to have the counter top here in another 2 or 3 weeks. They will have everything in place and ready to go before I take mine to them. Promised a week max turn around. BUT we're still enjoying this one do much more than the one we traded.
