FINDING ONE

Common — usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Forest River is a volume manufacturer; 10-year production run; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

Loft-bunk gas Class A that has quietly gotten better - the 22,000 lb GVWR and the 7.3L V8 since 2021 fixed an earlier chassis that was working hard.
