Production of the Flagstaff 8529RKSB?

[Bbydlr]

Greetings,
Does anyone have an idea around #'s of units that Forest River manufactures of this model line? Does anyone know if they will discontinue?
Flagstaff Classic 8529RKSB

I ask because this is the unit my wife and want, our first fifth wheel. I cannot find this model on RV Trader, except for 4 currently Ohio and further east. Most of the internet searches are returning posts from last year. Special order is always an idea though.
Not buying tomorrow, but this makes me think I may have to buy remotely and pick up on a road trip. Would like to have eyes on it first.

Just curious your thoughts on whether this model might be discontinued? OR, is it just that good that no one sells them.

FYI, there is a 8529RKBS and its not the same thing......

Just so you know, Flagstaff and Rockwood are made in the same factory, on the same line. They make about every trailer model in both brands, with just some color scheme variations between the two.


Look at Rockwood and you will most likely find the exact same trailer, and may can expand your search for the RV.

Many of the manufacturers have been closed for the past month due to 'stay at home' orders.

Your best bet would be to contact a local dealer for that model. There is a link on this page. https://forestriverinc.com/rvs/trave.../8529RKSB/5293

Here you go, see if these two Flagstaff and Rockwoods aren't the same. The top one is the Rockwood version of your bottom Flagstaff one.

Here is also a 360 walkthrough of the Rockwood, taken from the Rockwood website...so you and the wife can visually see it is the same as the Flagstaff (but maybe different color schemes)

We have an early-2019 version of that floorplan. They changed it for 2020 so its possible they’ll change it next year.

FYI, Rockwood and Flagstaff tend to make significant changes in the middle of a model year and the units they build in the first month or so of a new model year are basically the same as the models at the end of the previous model year. My 2019 was built in April 2018 and its essentially the same as a late-2018 with 2019 colours/fabrics.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you that helped me in this search.

We purchased the Rockwood 8291RK this last Saturday.

Thank You to itat, wmtire, and Reverse_snowbird for the assist.
