Forest River (Mixed tier): Forest River's ultralight single/tandem-axle travel trailer line for first-time buyers wanting light, easily-towed floorplans; wood-stick/aluminum-skin construction on a powder-coated steel frame, at the affordable end of Forest River's TT lineup.

FINDING ONE

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Forest River is a volume manufacturer; only one model year; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

Sleeps count and bed sizes not published. Sleeping data added by a later pass: mintrv.com raw text 'sleeps 3' and data-rv-sleeps="3"; rvingplanet spec table Available Beds=Full and prose 'a 29" booth dinette that will double as both dining and additional sleeping space' -- both seen in raw curl bytes and agree. Collected from a census gap: this line had no catalogue record at all. tier, bn and mat are the collecting pass's editorial read, not inherited from siblings. Slide-out count added by a later pass: floorplan image alt text: 'has one entry and zero slide outs' - CONFIRMED ZERO
