FINDING ONE

Scarce: months of watching; be ready to fly and drive it home. Why: only one model year; 21 years out of production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

Quad-slide 40-footer built around a barrel chair and a Euro-recliner rather than twin sofas.
