Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 40RLTS's published weights changed mid-run.

FINDING ONE

Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Jayco is a volume manufacturer; 12-year production run. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

Rear living, twin sofas, twelve model years — the couples Bungalow, and the one that kept selling long enough to be renumbered 402RLTS for 2027.
