A Review on the 2023 Autumn Ridge Travel Trailer 188BHS by Starcraft RV.
The Autumn Ridge Travel Trailer 188BHS is a notable entry in the 2023 lineup by Starcraft RV. As any seasoned traveler knows, the quality of your travel trailer can significantly determine the quality of your journey, and Starcraft RV understands this. They continue their legacy of making reliable, comfortable, and feature-rich trailers with this model.
Exterior
One of the first things to notice about this travel trailer is its robust build. Starting with a GFCI protected receptacle to ensure safety, they've not left any stone unturned. The exterior width of 96 inches gives ample space, and the black front diamond plate protection enhances its curb appeal while also offering protection. Its detachable power cords add a convenience factor often overlooked by other manufacturers.
The trailer's fiberglass insulation is neatly complemented by flexible LP lines and galvanized wheel wells. The addition of a grab handle, in-frame battery rack, and magnetic baggage door catches further illustrates the attention to detail paid by Starcraft RV. An additional mention must be reserved for the Magnum Roof system, which guarantees durability and longevity.
Interior
Moving onto the interior, which stands out with its spaciousness at an impressive 81-inch interior height. The LED interior lighting, pleated blackout night shades, and flush floor slides with residential vinyl flooring offer a cozy and homely feel. The storage below the main bed and 75 lb. ball bearing drawer guides offer ample storage solutions.
The kitchen area boasts pressed membrane countertops and a range hood. Of course, it's impossible not to mention the single basin under-mount kitchen sink and the residential high-rise kitchen faucet. All these features highlight the dedication Starcraft RV has towards providing a domestic feel even on the road.
Specifications and Price Point
Furthermore, this trailer can sleep up to 7 people and comes with an autogenous furnace having a BTU output of 18,000. The water heater, with a capacity of around 6 gallons, is more than sufficient for your travels as well.
On the price front, with a suggested MSRP of $28,125 and a dealer invoice price of $19,397, one can argue that it provides excellent value considering its rich features and robust built quality.
To wrap up, the Autumn Ridge Travel Trailer 188BHS 2023 certainly stands out as a competitive player in the realm of travel trailers. It's safe to say that Starcraft RV has outdone itself once again, combining practical design elements with stylish aesthetics to create a truly top-tier product.

The See Dealer Cost Story
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
