Palomino Puma XLE Lite Travel Trailer
The Palomino Puma XLE Lite is a brand of travel trailers and toy haulers that allows you to get the most out of your RV experience. The space in each of these trailers is utilized to its fullest potential so that you can use every inch for your outdoor fun. Each trailer features quality craftsmanship ranging from its Alpha Superflex roof all the way down to its super lube axles, and these trailers come with a large fresh water tank which gives you peace of mind as you shower or wash the dishes.
Another feature that will keep you from worrying as you travel in the Puma XLE Lite is the inclusion of the 24/7 emergency roadside assistance for your first year of purchase. These units also come equipped with LED lighting throughout the trailer which is a wonderful help to your eyes and your budget because of the efficient light they produce. The bathroom skylight gives you a chance to welcome the sunshine in the morning, and the tinted windows throughout the trailer help protect your inside possessions from fading over time.
Don't wait until tomorrow; take the opportunity today to get out there and prowl with the Puma XLE Lite by Palomino!

Manu-Facts:
As demand for the Palomino grew, Mr. Landey felt it would benefit his company, Vanguard Ind., to relocate. With most manufacturers and industry suppliers located in the Elkhart, In. area the move eastward seemed logical. Vanguard Industries settled in the community of Colon in 1972. Once in Colon he began to put his plans in motion. By 1973 he had built the main production facility and within days Palomino tent trailers were rolling out the doors.
In 1976, Vanguard added its own Needle Division, in 1978 its own Metal Fabrication Plant, and has several cold storage facilities. On May 27, 1992, the primary production building and offices were destroyed by fire. By late August, 1992, the first 1993 model Palomino rolled of the line in the new 52,300 sq. ft. facility, which was built on the same site as the previous building had been.
The year 1998 continued to see expansion with the addition of a new 75,000 sq. ft. production facility, and another storage facility. In 2002 Vanguard was purchased by Forest River, Inc. This allowed for rapid growth and the introduction of two new towable lines of travel trailers and fifth wheels, Puma and Sabre by Palomino.
