2026 Palomino Puma32BHFS

The 32BHFS is the biggest Puma on this list. The Forest River factory describes the floorplan as one entry and four slide outs, with a metal exterior and a 21-foot awning, and an interior of bunk beds, a kitchen island and a front bedroom — sleeping up to eleven in about 39 feet. Four slides is the most on the roster, and an island galley alongside a bunk room is a combination the value bracket rarely offers: the slides buy the floor width that makes an island possible without choking the walkway. It carries the standard Puma build: a powder-coated steel I-beam frame with steel crossmembers under .024/.030-gauge aluminum skin, an AlphaPly roof membrane under a limited lifetime warranty, R-7 fiberglass insulation cut and glued between sidewall studs on 16-inch centres, a 5/8-inch Araucoply plywood floor under a 25-year limited warranty, an enclosed Darco-wrapped underbelly with enclosed water tanks, a tankless water heater and an 11 cu ft 12-volt refrigerator. Solar is roof and side-mount prep only — no panel is installed from the factory.

Palomino publishes an 11,308-pound GVWR against the 9,608-pound dry weight, leaving a 1,700-pound cargo capacity and a 1,175-pound dry tongue — the heaviest plan of the eight profiled on every count, and comfortably beyond what a half-ton should be asked to do. The tank set is 43/70/35 gallons fresh/grey/black. Note that it carries a single entry despite eleven berths and four slides, where the 32BHQS in the same length gets a second door and a half bath. Palomino and Forest River publish no MSRP for the Puma line, so confirm street pricing with a dealer. The 32BHFS wants a three-quarter-ton truck and an honest look at the cargo maths.

Forest River lists all four Puma packages as required, but the Value Shopper Package specifies a 13,500 BTU ducted air conditioner and the Limited Edition Package specifies a 15,000 BTU unit in place of it — the two required packages contradict each other, so confirm the air conditioner on the actual unit.

Puma is Palomino's metal-sided value travel trailer — bumper-pull towables on a powder-coated steel I-beam frame, and a cross-shop against Forest River's own Salem / Wildwood and Aurora, Prime Time's Avenger, Keystone's Springdale and Jayco's Jay Flight SLX. Eight floorplans are profiled in full and linked below; the remaining plans are catalogued and shown muted. The 32BHFS on this page is highlighted.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 43-gallon fresh tank is roughly 21% of the 1,700-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 32BHFS with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry tongue weight of 1,175 pounds is 12% of the 9,608-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 11,308-pound GVWR the 32BHFS is towing 1,700 pounds more than its 9,608-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 43 gallons of fresh against 70 grey and 35 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Ranked by GVWR, the 32BHFS sits 11 of 33 in the Puma line: 11,308 pounds against a line that runs from 8,553 to 18,575 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.

Either side of it in the same line: Puma Ambush 29TH is 313 pounds lighter at 10,995 lb GVWR; and Puma Vista 37PFL is 441 pounds heavier at 11,749 lb GVWR.

Against the 32BHFS: the Wolf Pack 26-13.5 is 7 lb heavier and 7 ft shorter; the Reflection 312BHTS is 13 lb lighter and 1 ft shorter and sleeps 5 fewer; the Longitude 319BH is 27 lb heavier. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Puma floorplans profiled here run 6,173 to 15,114 pounds dry and 30 to 43 feet of exterior length across 33 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Puma line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 16 of them for the 32BHFS. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: interior height, tire specification. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (94%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

Values on this page carrying an asterisk were derived by arithmetic from published figures, or come from a single source, rather than being printed directly by the manufacturer. The flag travels with the number into the downloadable spec sheet.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
