Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Forest River is a volume manufacturer; 13-year production run; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
The volume FR3: rear king, split bath, wrap-around dinette and a hide-a-bed, in the shortest body most people can still drive comfortably.
