The 2027 Palomino Backpack HS-8801 is a hard-side truck camper designed for 3/4-ton trucks with 6'6" to 8' beds, providing a comfortable RV setup without the size of a traditional travel trailer. The interior features a 60" x 80" cab-over bed along with a 32" x 60" dinette that converts into additional sleeping space. The kitchen includes an 11 cu. ft. 12V refrigerator and microwave, while white cabinetry and LED interior lighting provide a clean and functional living space. A 20,000 BTU furnace adds heating capability for comfortable camping in cooler conditions.
The Backpack HS-8801 is equipped with features that make it well suited for both campground and off-grid camping. Two 200W solar panels and a 100-amp lithium battery provide additional power capability, while the Bluetooth charge controller makes it easier to monitor the onboard electrical system. The electric jacks simplify loading and unloading, and the on-demand water heater provides hot water when needed. A hot-and-cold exterior shower, Maxx Air vent, front cap with Line-X protection, and high-density block foam insulation add practical functionality for outdoor travel.
With an approximately 18-foot exterior length, 9-foot floor length, and 2,575-pound unloaded vehicle weight, the HS-8801 offers a substantial truck camper layout while remaining designed for a 3/4-ton truck. The aluminum-framed superstructure, hi-gloss fiberglass exterior, Alpha Super Flex membrane roof, and insulated construction provide durability for regular use on the road. With dedicated sleeping areas, a kitchen, bathroom facilities, solar power, and a practical hard-side design, the 2027 Palomino Backpack HS-8801 truck camper is suited for weekend camping, extended road trips, hunting, fishing, and exploring destinations beyond traditional campgrounds.
