FINDING ONE

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Jayco 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

Price explicitly labeled 'MSRP with mandatory packages' on the page, distinct from the repeated base banner. 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.
