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.

A full 43-gallon fresh tank is about 359 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 20% of the 337BH’s 1,800 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,441 lb (180 lb per rated berth). Across 24 Puma travel-trailer floorplans the water share runs 11% to 28%, and 10 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Puma Vista 38VFL at 20% and Puma Vista 429LFT at 20%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

Closest sibling: the Puma Ambush 25TH, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 37 ft 1 in vs 29 ft 9 in; dry weight 7,463 lb vs 6,173 lb; GVWR 9,263 lb vs 8,873 lb; cargo capacity 1,800 lb vs 2,700 lb; dry hitch weight 770 lb vs 845 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Either side of it by GVWR: Puma 310RK matches it at 9,263 lb GVWR; Puma 30RKQS is 337 lb heavier (9,600 lb GVWR).

All 33 Puma floorplans: Puma line hub.

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 Jay Flight SLX 28BHBE is 13 lb lighter and 4 ft shorter.

16 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the 337BH. Not published: interior height, tire specification.
