2026 Palomino Puma337BH

The 337BH is the most interesting plan on the Puma roster. The Forest River factory describes the floorplan as two entries and one slide out, with a metal exterior and a 19-foot awning, and an interior of bunk beds, a loft, a front bedroom and a pass-through bathroom — sleeping eight in about 37 feet on a single slide. The loft is what makes it work: berths stacked in the roof space rather than spread across the floor, which is how a 37-foot trailer sleeps eight while staying more than 2,100 pounds lighter than the 39-foot 32BHFS. The pass-through bath links the bunk end to the front bedroom, and the second entry serves the bunks. 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.

The weights are the argument for this plan. Palomino publishes a 9,263-pound GVWR against a 7,463-pound dry weight, leaving an 1,800-pound cargo capacity — the largest of the eight profiled Pumas — on a 770-pound dry tongue, which is the lightest of the eight by a clear margin and lighter than that of the 31-foot 26FKDS. Eight berths, the best cargo margin on this list and the lightest tongue is a genuinely unusual combination in a 37-foot trailer. The tank set is 43/35/35 gallons fresh/grey/black, the smaller-grey pattern, which is the one real compromise: 35 gallons of grey with eight aboard fills quickly. Palomino and Forest River publish no MSRP for the Puma line, so confirm street pricing with a dealer. The 337BH is the family Puma to look at first if payload is your constraint.

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 337BH on this page is highlighted.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 43-gallon fresh tank is roughly 20% of the 1,800-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 337BH with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry tongue weight of 770 pounds is 10% of the 7,463-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 9,263-pound GVWR the 337BH is towing 1,800 pounds more than its 7,463-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 35 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 337BH sits 4 of 33 in the Puma line: 9,263 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 310RK matches it exactly at 9,263 lb GVWR; and Puma 30RKQS is 337 pounds heavier at 9,600 lb GVWR.

1 other Puma plan shares this floorplan’s 9,263 lb GVWR, so the ranking above separates plans that tow to the same ceiling. On a shared chassis the figure that actually differs between them is cargo capacity and where the weight sits, not the rating.

Against the 337BH: the Coachmen Catalina 293QBCK is 1 lb heavier and 3 ft shorter and sleeps 2 fewer; the Delta 294RK is 13 lb lighter and 3 ft shorter and sleeps 4 fewer; the Airelume 285 is 30 lb lighter. 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 337BH. 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.
