FINDING ONE

Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Forest River is a volume manufacturer; 14-year production run; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

Forest River's best-selling bunkhouse - a lot of floorplan per dollar, and you pay for it in fasteners and sealant later.
