Our Truck Camper: Little Mae

---

We ordered the 2024 Palomino 8801 Truck Camper straight from the factory.

We named her Little Mae, and this is where her story begins.

---

Before she even left the factory lot, we added a few upgrades to fit how we actually travel:

• Palomino Roof Rack – for hauling beach gear or adding a cargo carrier

• Torklift Trinity Bumper – built-in storage and a sturdy fold-down step

• Rear Thule Awning – flexible shade where we want it

• Second lithium battery – more power, less stress

• Factory-installed solar – for low-key boondocking and beach stops

---

We picked up Little Mae at Parkview RV Center and headed straight into a 4-week shakedown trip down the East Coast.

Stops included Pine Island KOA, Naples/Marco Island KOA, and Sugarloaf KOA. 

We’ll break down what we modified (immediately and after living in it), and what we’ve learned from our travels so far.
