Puzzler of the day -- models on dealer lots, not on website

While browsing RV Trader, I noticed a model from Forest River I've not seen before -- the Sunseeker 2430S, which is a B+ on a Ford E-450 chassis. It has a floorplan very similar to the Nexus RV model with a full wall slide allowing for the dinette and the queen bed to be usable. However, it isn't on FR's website, but putting "Sunseeker 2430S" in your search engine of choice brings up RV dealers selling it.

Is it normal for a RV maker to not list a model that is being sold?

    Happens
    Thunder RV in Oregon has (had?) the two initial production Desert Fox Toy-Hauler 5ers from Northwoods, weeks after they had them in-stock Northwoods had still not updated their web-site to even show those models existed.
    Another dealer had the only example of an Arctic Fox camper that Northwoods decided not to take into production.

    "Normal"? Not sure. But does it happen? Yes - especially if that is a new for 2016 model. They sometimes make sure the dealers have them before the official rollout of the new model year.
