The PERFECT Off Road RV? All new Palomino PAUSE XC20.2!

[@rereelovingod412]

WOW! Love this camper!! Robust and sturdy is good!

[@wanderdawg]

I think you guys would be surprised. There are plenty of people looking for quality and willing to pay. The majority of the RV industry is crap. I think it is awesome that American mfg are starting to up the quality and, of course, with that comes the price. One other example is the the popularity of Class B Vans. They are all pretty expensive but the younger generation is really into that style.

[@chewdoobautomotivedetailtm2883]

I want one to keep on property.❤

[@grandemage]

The heavier weight aside, probably the better one to go with that's been showcased here. I love the storage features, power upgrade, metal build of literally everything. Personally the only gripe I'd have is I like to travel up North in the wet/colder Fall, which having your bigger kitchen utilities and fridge outside is really unappealing, would prefer those inside. Overall though, I'd still put this one above the others for ideal get-a-away camping to remote lakes and parks. :O

[@DigitalDJman]

The Pause next to this one would be for you .

[@pmurphy12667]

this not for typical fulltime rvers. This is meant for off road overlanding. Yes a little big for most Overlanders but that is what this trailer is for. Meant to cook outdoors and be outdoors.

[@davidhalley5265]

For what you get it’s well worth the price.

[@kurtschulmeyer1041]

I'm an AS guy so I don't faint at the price! For the best mix of off-road capable and comfort this is the best.

[@jerryclleung]

JD and Shane THANK YOU SO MUCH for these videos!!! I can’t get enough, and Shane I’ve probably watched all your off-road videos like 5 times each!!! Just great and amazing!!! Maybe they can pay the employees $15hr so it’ll be $30k less 😂😏🙄

[@LukeEdward]

I can appreciate this, but this is more expensive than my mortgage. And in ten years, my house wont be 1/4 its purchase value. For me, all of these are “aspirational” RVs. And I don’t purchase aspirational. But I do enjoy the videos. Keep ‘em coming.

[@BTBRVReviews]

I understand

[@ericham4945]

It will probably hold its value better than cheap models.

[@peteengard9966]

Now that is the suspension for a 5th wheel. Larger air tank and bigger hoses would make it operate faster.

[@scottelwood8746]

Nice looking unit. For me I will keep my 2022 TAB 400 boondock edition. Great review 👍 thanks

[@respectbossmon]

There are three big names in commercial nautical and luxury yacht electronics: Raymarine, SIMRAD, and Garmin. Garmin electronics in an RV? Does it have GPS and chart plotter functions? And will it integrate with a Garmin radar unit (for detecting alien invaders, obviously)? That would be cool.

[@petes6521]

The shower is great.

[@Jonasvolley]

Could live in that thing full time.

[@chewdoobautomotivedetailtm2883]

This the ONE❤ LOL

[@docuzzie]

If this weren't soo Heavy, I'd get one. I'd need something like this to come in around 5300lbs empty to entertain it. I love the design though and a bigger truck is not an option.

[@TheFiremanJoe]

Glad they got rid of that horrible inside sink!

[@Renerator]

Awesome review man! Where can I check one of these out? I’m in South Florida.

[@bradchervel5202]

I want one

[@CompactNation2022]

Man that looks like a beach bums dream camper

[@TheMagislayer72]

Wonder if Lippert will make these windows available for normal trailers and RVs? And then what's the cost 🤔😞😜

[@dfoster20124621]

This is the perfect hunters rig. It just needs one more bed. And a lower price 😂

[@texasguy3031]

Looks nice and cool tech but at end of day just another Forest River. I would not go anywhere near a Forest River product.

[@JoeHTX]

I like this rv. I've looked at the specks on their website for it, but can't find something that I need to know. It says nothing about being able to connect to shore power. Off road use looks awesome, but what about those times you want to stay in an rv park with it? What hookups can you use, 30 amp service or 50 amp? What about water and sewer hookups? Do they include sewer line, water hoses and electric cord to connect to an rv park facility? Thanks.

[@PandaLAG]

30 amp

[@Toglander]

To assume that an unexpected increase in the cost of materials is the reason the price is $50K more than they originally claimed, is far too trusting. How about they simply realized that anything with the words “overland” or “outdoor” attached allows them to get away with overcharging their customers. I promise you they could have charged $100K and still turned a healthy profit. This is an example of the overland upcharge at its finest.

[@dedalliance1]

I mean, how do you know that? I guess according to you the company is stupid and didn't know they were designing an overlander trailer when they quoted the first price so once they realized that people would camp in their camper they jacked the price up? Maybe, it's because everything is expensive, because inflation? Labor costs going up? Material costs going up? Sales people's wages going up, taxes on their properties and lots they're sold on are going up. I guess all of that didn't increase the price they're just ripping people off. You must be special.

[@chadsteele1]

100% agree, the fact they charge more for certain things like off-road tires when in reality the difference price is miniscule same with the sidewalls windows Fridge etc. The stock standard prices of that equipment in reality to upgrade is not a fifty to sixty thousand and doesnt warrant that price increase. Plain and simple it is price gouging just like they do with "toyhaulers" .

[@dedalliance1]

@@chadsteele1 You're a silly man.

[@boatrvme8478]

Agree!!! This is way overpriced for what you get! This air rise system is fairly useless because you are going no further than what the axles can clear.

[@PandaLAG]

Are you still not selling this trailer... or is it at the Utah location now?

[@PandaLAG]

Where are the batteries located in this trailer?

[@UncleChuckApproved]

Nothing wrong with Renogy batteries, solar controllers or panels.

[@MT-wn6pl]

7k needing a 3/4 ton diesel. Comeon my 1/2 ton Ford ecoboost built a decade ago would eat this thing up. I'm not one of those "well it's over 5k pounds, better get a one ton dually"

[@stevegodfrey44]

Is it possible to show the trailer and then do the fan boy small talk last ?

[@razorwired130]

So the majority of the storage space in the back is now being taken up by batteries. Put them under the bed.

[@philsalsbery9994]

Thanks JD, but not interested in off road RV trailers. No more big truck reviews? Nothing new to report on HD trucks?

[@BTBRVReviews]

I'd recently did the new RAM Rebel HD. I review trucks as they come out and are available

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

I like the Pause - I just don't like Murphy Bed's.

[@JohnsonWhat28]

Too expensive!

[@micheleobrien64]

Is that grill gonna melt that door?

[@daviddemand6856]

+$100K!!! No thanks. Not saying it’s not worth it, just not for most American budgets, in my own opinion. The elites will have fun for sure!

[@Adiscretefirm]

Don't forget the $70000 truck to pull it! Maybe in a few years they will depreciate 40%.

[@1981pjt]

Right We would have to sell our 3 bedroom house and still wouldn't have enough it's a nice camper tho

[@i70show]

I’ll say it it’s too expensive over engineered and pretty ugly on the outside honestly.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

A truck driver retires and sells his used rig can buy this no problem.

[@i70show]

@@kevinnashskitchen3517 and won’t have no money for gas or food so there’s that.

[@i70show]

Sounds like they’re still improving it and they got a long way to go pretty tiny and pretty ugly if you asked me, but a to each his own. Maybe look at outdoor RV he seem to be a little more affordable.

[@truthseeker111]

Save 100k!! & Buy an Ember Overland, better designs and very good build quality plus thousands of pounds lighter!

[@PandaLAG]

After all the issues with ember, do you still feel the same?

[@IsraellDFend]

As a full-time RV’r, I know RV’s. These are incredibly built and awesome, however I have to be honest and say these are SO overpriced! So much so that it gets to an insulting level. You can buy a house in most of the country for what these cost. It’s ridiculous and absurd. However again, definitely well built and nice RV’s. But c’mon with that stupid price. Disgusting! 🤦‍♂️

[@dedalliance1]

Very few houses are 150k dollars in this country anymore. Average US Home Price is $348k dollars for 2022. Average home price in Colorado for 2022 is nearly $550k dollars. Only back east can you buy a reasonable house for under 200k these days, mostly in Iowa and southern states. But they also have terrible economies so there's that.

[@IsraellDFend]

@@dedalliance1 lol I get it perhaps I exaggerated a bit but you know what I mean lol. Just way overpriced in my opinion.

[@dedalliance1]

@@IsraellDFend I mean it's not cheap, but quality isn't cheap. It's about the same ball park as some of the comparable Australian off road campers, about the same as an Airstream of similar size. About the same price as a Mercedes camper van. A lot of fifth wheels are in the same price range on the higher end ones. There's a some big truck bed campers that are 50-60k dollars, some pop up off road ones are 40-50k on the high end. Obviously that's cheaper but price per square foot it's not cheaper. The problem isn't really that these things are expensive, the problem is wages haven't kept up with inflation for the past 40-50 years. Since the majority of people make garbage wages these days it makes everything seem expensive. You wanna pay for quality materials made by skilled labor it's going to be expensive, this is a mostly US made product it's not chinese slave labor like we've been used to for decades. Take our jobs back from China and we'd be able to afford nicer things because we'd all have better opportunities to make more money by using our skilled labor verses other countries slave labor.

[@IsraellDFend]

@@dedalliance1 you know what that was very well said. I still think it’s very expensive and as I mentioned, they are very well-built and I certainly agree on the quality part. I just feel personally that the cost outweighs the quality but I could be wrong.

[@dedalliance1]

@@IsraellDFend Everything's relative when it comes to cost and value. Like he said in the video, that trailer has the most suspension travel of any trailer on the market in the US. So if that was the value point, there's nothing else you can just buy here without custom building one. Everything boils down to what someone wants out of their purchase. I live not too far from an Earth Roamer facility off of I-25 here in Colorado. Talking 500k-1 million dollar or more vehicles. There's really nice motorhomes that are 1-2 million dollars. The average joe's not gonna be buying any of these so it's kinda a mute point in that regard but there are people where money isn't a concern. I know a guy with horses that cost more than this camper does. If he wanted the best off road camper in this size category there's not many other options. So the value's there, but it's for people with too much money not for the family of 4 trying to take their kids to the beach on the weekend. But here's the thing. Toyota Owns Lexus, Toyota can't sell a Camry for 50k dollars, but they can sell a Lexus for 50k all day. Toyota invests high end technology into the Lexus brand and figures out how it holds up in the real world how the customers respond to the tech advances and then when that tech becomes mass produced and affordable it gets passed down to the Toyota Brand and put into cheaper cars. Cars used to not have cruise control, that technology was bought and paid for by wealthy people in higher end brands, and then heated seats, and cooled seats, and blind spot monitors, and crash avoidance, and it's now that higher end cars have self driving in 10 years that'll be a standard option. So the technology they're putting into this camper might be unaffordable to most of us normal people today, but in 10 years a lot of it's going to be standard technology in the lesser brands. So that's all it is at the end of the day. I think it's great that they're trying new technology doing the air ride doing the Lithium and Solar doing aluminum with composite materials because then eventually that technology will get cheaper and cheaper to produce and more efficient to produce so it can be less expensive. Don't get me wrong, 150k dollars isn't cheap but it's far from the most expensive rig on the market. Which is a good sign, because it won't be long until the technology is in everyday products that are more affordable.

[@briancc2100]

I saw that owner pretending he was a customer lol

[@chadsteele1]

I'll order this from China and pay half that price even with shipping. It's hard to support North American jobs at that price level. I mean I get it but honestly, they're digging their own graves at this price level.

[@johnbouwens2024]

Nop....

[@briancc2100]

Id be willing to bet this was imported from china and slightly assembled in the US

[@BTBRVReviews]

How much would you be willing to bet? Hope you're willing to be wrong

[@briancc2100]

Honestly after seeing him pretending to be a customer now seeing he is an owner id never buy his product
