Just giving my info/findings/doings, on my 2024 palomino hs-750 truck camper.

[lineman1234]

I have looked, not a lot out there that i could find on the hs-750, so i would like to add what i have found, done, will do, and thoughts. My use will be spending the winter months, or most of them in the tc traveling and staying long term some spots.

I even hope to come to an understanding with it, the tc, and sell the 5ver and just be a truck camperer till life changes again and change with it.

Mine came factory with 2 100 what solar panels on the roof, and 1 100 amp lithium battery. That will be fine for my needs, im not a long term dry camper person.

I was able to give it a shakedown up hear in very northern Minnesota a couple weeks ago, it got down to 25f for the night, i use electric heat when plugged in and the heater i used was fine. My feet seemed cold as they were at the front window/cap area. I took the plastic window casing off as well as the top plywood piece to find nothing for insulation at the bottom of the cap, or the top, one small square of insulation at each end, not doing much. I put 2 full 8 foot long, 16 inch wide, 3.5 inch thick insulation sheets in there and its much better now.

Fit, finish, every thing that came with it, no complaints, seems nicely put in and works as supposed to .

Waisted space places 3, screwed over by panels, by sink, under fridge, side of radio, are now soft storage stuff under sink, and radio area. Under fridge i installed some protection plywood dividers as needed to use that for pans and such.
The battery water tank bay had a lot of waisted space. I put dividers to protect the wireing , battery and water tank, letting the battery still breath nicely. In there, medium crockpot, 2 electric hot plates, small toaster oven, a perculator coffee pot, to be used for coffee, and any boiling needs like potatoes, pasta and such, and something i am forgetting is in there also.

In the back tank dump area will be more soft storage, all sensor wires on the water tank and black and grey tanks got a strip of roof repair tape to protect them, so they arent getting ripped off by accident.
My idea of soft storage is tp, paper towels, towels, clothing, but not jeans in delicate areas.

The front where the curve is, got a 6 foot long 6 inch square plastic fence post for sewer storage.

The propane tank single tank area works good for storing 2 flat water hoses, catv cable, electrical cords as well.

2 under counter one for paper plates one for paper bowls dispensers, 2 magnetic strips left of stove top for silver ware. 7 strategically places mettle baskets for spices, and such/stuff.

One above the stove burners foldable wood cutting board thing, for using the electric hot plates or toaster oven when plugged in, instead of using propane.

2 roof vent covers got installed.

The 32 inch tv is going to just float for now, like lean against the sink area for watching then go back to the side bed storage area when not used.

Table is removed and it will be eat outside or on a cutting board on the lap trick. Under table leg storage is a great canned goods spot as well as waisted space around under the lift lid for said table leg storage area can be canned goods.


The plan is to use something, put it away, keep counter top neat and clean, no clutter.

What still needs doing, adding or figuring out is the following.

Im going with a portable ac/dehumidifier/heater. It takes up valuable space, but does 3 things and can be covered and sit outside under the front when not needed.
Humidity is the big problem i find 40f and colder, and the tc is a small space, so it needs dehumidifying.
I think i have a plan for the unit, but not sure yet. It works on the floor, venting out the front little window. Slide it right to cook or do dishes have coffee, slide it left to get in and out of bed.

Need to find a use for the outside around the dc fridge waisted space yet keep it ventilated. It has a small lockable access panel. Actually its not really ventilated at all, just a space around the fridge.

Still need cloths, shoes and other needed stuff to find a nice neat home.

All the above cabinets are still empty as well as the bed side storage is empty, except the spot for the tv. Same with bathroom is empty for stuff.

I have a 2024 chevy 3500 regular cab, i chose gasser and love it, coming from 8 years of a diesel. I will be installing a front hitch for a front folding rack, as well as putting a rear folding rack on the back for more stuff.

Will be making vent covers for the inside soon, 2 for the large ones and one for the small round bathroom one. An insulated cover for the bathroom sky light. Insulated front window inside cover, as it dumps a lot of cold air in.
An outside front glass window cover will be made for travel. The front glass window will probably never chip or break, but if it did/does it will get costly, so ill make a snap on cover for it.

Above range vented hood vents, also leak a lot of cold air in when its cold, so that gets a velcrow cover for it.

Quiet hear on the TC forum area...

I finished the base for my front window travel shield today for the glass front window. Made it out of leftover tapestry material with reflexit insulation sandwiched in the middle.
I will put a outside front cover on when i narrow down what i want to cover the crabs with.

This would have been done yesterday, ( but ) drilling holes in a new camper is best to do once, or not at all.
I had one of those, inquisitive, neighbors that wanted to ask questions and chat stop by. Not the best time when i need to concentrate, so i quit till this morning.

OK, doing a little TC camping for a couple nights.

The front window cover looks better covered with a heavy plastic water proof stuff, and works great.

Taking the covers off the jacks to check for water,,, as i found one with a little water in it, then greases all 4,,, and seal up the tops, they sound much happier.

The camper rides nice on the 2024 cheby 3500 gasser.

Moving the back cross bar the camper sits on 4, moving the back one in 18 inches, i can leave the tailgate in now, as the tailgate isnt level with the bed, it sits a little higher, so that last bar put lbs on the said tailgate, or would have if i left it in wile picking it up at the dealer.

Im up at Lake of the Woods MN, right on the rainy river, one side is Canada, other US.

Percolator coffee. It does or will do multiple tasking, as boil tatters, make pasta, cook sauces, steam vetgies.
