FINDING ONE

Common — usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Coachmen is a volume manufacturer; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

Double-slide living room with both a hide-a-bed sofa and theater seating, and a 20-ft awning; the most popular Encore layout.
