WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 19 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin — per model year, because the 39NA's published weights held steady.

FINDING ONE

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