FINDING ONE

Patient search: weeks of watching, and probably some travel. Why: 9-year production run; 13 years out of production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

The longest-running Diplomat floorplan — quad slide, grew from 40'6" and 33,000 lb in 2005 to 41'5" and 36,000 lb by 2008.
