2009 Sabre Brochure

Powerfully Built
The Sabre is powerfully built for road tough durability,
yet loaded with gentle creature comforts for easy
living. Constructed with a sturdy six-sided aluminum
superstructure, the Sabre projects a high-end
appearance with a distinctive graphics package that
will turn heads wherever you go. The front fiberglass
cap includes recessed docking lights angled to
illuminate the hitch area and truck bed along with
a bed-view mirror for easier, safer hitching. Inside,
you’ll find innovative floorplans and features that defy
the ordinary. Every square inch is efficiently utilized
to give you more space, more features, and more
convenience. Using the latest interior fashions, our
designers have created beautiful decors that add
style to your vacation living. From elegant luxury to
practical conveniences, the Sabre has it all!

Contemporary Living
A
The Sabre interior reflects today’s lifestyles with all
the home-like amenities you’ve grown accustomed
to. A spectacular high fidelity entertainment center
includes a 200-watt 5.1 Dolby AM/FM/CD/DVD/TV
system with 12 speaker surround sound; subwoofer;
weather band; XM satellite radio receiver; selector
panel for MP3, satellite TV, and game station; and
remote control. Home-like qualities continue
throughout the kitchen with a deep double bowl
sink with residential strainers, high rise faucet and
hand sprayer; seven cubic foot refrigerator; large
range with oven; and deep cabinets and drawers for
plentiful storage.
(fig. A+B) This front bunkroom features a fold-down
jiffy sofa with overhead fold-up bunk, removable

Beautiful Views
Large bay windows throughout afford a beautiful,
unobstructed view of surrounding scenery while
washing the interior with natural lighting. The
windows open to catch the refreshing breeze and,
when privacy is needed, draw down the day/night
shades. Enjoy the sights from the comfort of the
optional air bed sleeper sofa (fig. A) that provides
seating by day and turns into a comfortable bed at
night (fig. B). It even includes a hidden drawer to
store bedding and other items. Beautifully spacious
living quarters are created with dual slide-outs that
feature a full six feet of headroom. Other fine features
include an optional free standing dinette with leaf
extension and a gorgeous entertainment center
complete with the latest electronics.

Palomino RV Encourages
You to Buy Locally
Palomino RV strongly encourages our retail customers to
purchase from their local dealership whenever possible
due to the following factors:
ur Dealers are, as a rule, independently owned and
O
operated businesses. Outside of those customers they
personally sold products to, they are not contractually
obligated to perform warranty service on Palomino
products that were purchased elsewhere. There may be an
occasion that you would be required to return to the point
of purchase to satisfy warranty requirements.
Although many dealerships will eventually service
products not purchased at their place of business, they will
usually take care of their customers and other Palomino
customers who are traveling away from their local dealer
as they would their own.
L ocal purchases allow a customer to establish a
relationship with a dealer close to home. This relationship
provides the customer with a convenient location for
service and support from a “home town” professional.
T he opportunity for a thorough PDI (Pre-Delivery
Inspection) and product orientation is an additional
benefit of buying from your local dealer, further providing
the opportunity for refresher courses or the ability to get
questions answered much more conveniently.
In the event of breakdown and/or
disabled RV, contact your service
agent toll free.
F or our Canadian customers, there are also requirements
which must be met to bring an RV purchased out of the
country to their home. Although not insurmountable,
these requirements may involve such things as additional
inspections and certifications, taxes and fees. Your local
Canadian Dealer is a professional at meeting these
requirements.

Palomino RV’s goal is for all RV Owners to fully enjoy their
RV experience. In light of this goal, and considering the
advantages of buying local, we encourage you to be
thorough when determining what product to purchase
and which dealer to purchase it from as both are key
to your ultimate satisfaction and the realization of your
dreams.
