FINDING ONE

Patient search: weeks of watching, and probably some travel. Why: Thor Motor Coach is a volume manufacturer; only 2 model years. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

The tag-axle first-generation Venetian with twin 12 ft awnings and a 15,000 lb hitch. Only the MY2017 sheet survives.
