Used 2015 Forest River Palomino Base Camp 12DD — Draper, UT

The 2015 Palomino Base Camp 12DD is Forest River's pop-up camper on the Pop Up floor plan. This one is used and listed at $3,599. Dry weight is 2,050 lb, above the 1,850 lb median for the category. At 23 ft 10 in it is longer than most pop-up campers (13 ft 10 in).

Plan around 2,400 lb loaded rather than the dry figure. A mid-size SUV, minivan or small pickup handles it comfortably; no weight-distribution hitch strictly required, though one still improves the ride.

Sleeping capacity is 6 — more than the 4 typical of the category. With no slide-outs there is less to maintain and one fewer thing to fail on the road. GVWR is 3,500 lb, leaving about 1,450 lb for water, propane, gear and passengers before you reach the limit.

That is a 53% reduction on the $7,592 MSRP — $3,993 off. It also sits well below the $10,327 median for pop-up campers in our inventory.

Among its listed features are outside shower, u-shaped dinette, jackknife sofa and rear queen bed. It ships from Draper, UT door-to-door to any of the 50 states, inspected before it leaves, at one transparent price with no dealer fees.
