Recently, I had the opportunity to delve into the features and specifications of a remarkable recreational vehicle— the Accolade XT Class C Motorcoach 35L 2024. At an MSRP of $328,050 and dealer invoice of $218,700, it encapsulates luxury, comfort, and power in a streamlined package. The Accolade is certainly not for the faint of heart, nor for those seeking a simple camper van. It is a true testament to grandeur on wheels.
Upon laying eyes on this Class C RV, the first thing that captured my attention was the Ford F600 4X4 chassis. It asserts its presence with a 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo diesel engine, churning out 330 HP at 2,400 RPM and offering a substantial 825 ft. lb. torque at 2,000 RPM. With a 10-speed automatic transmission and two fuel tanks, this beast can devour miles without breaking a sweat.
The Accolade XT doesn’t just offer sheer driving prowess. It also brings forward admirable construction features, including a 1-piece, seamless, fiberglass front and rear caps with auxiliary flood lights, Sikkens full-body paint, and a TuffShell vacuum-bond laminated floor. With the ample insulation provided—R-24 for the roof, R-9 for the floor, and R-8 for the walls—you can drive this RV into various climates without discomfort.
Technological amenities in the Accolade XT are also truly impressive. The onboard Ford SYNC 3 infotainment center with navigation makes your journey smooth and entertaining. The vehicle also includes a 200W solar panel with a dual controller, a winterization drain system, and even a high-end Furrion electric fireplace for those cozy and memorable nights on the go.
The Accolade XT goes above and beyond in providing luxury, boasting an 84" interior ceiling height with a padded vinyl ceiling, hardwood cabinetry with deluxe hidden cabinet hinges, and even a high-intensity, recessed LED ceiling lighting system. You will also find a built-in electric fireplace, which not just enhances the aesthetic appeal but also aids in keeping the interiors warm during chilly travels.
Let's touch upon the kitchen — it's equipped with an 18 cu.ft. residential refrigerator, a 2-burner induction cooktop, and a convection microwave oven. The solid-surface countertops are LED-lit and there's a pull-out countertop extension in select models.
To top it all off, the bedroom ensures sweet dreams with its walk-around, king-size bed and large wardrobes. The bathroom, too, isn't short on luxuries — it features a decorative shower surround with a glass door, a skylight, a light, and even a macerating porcelain toilet!
In conclusion, the Accolade XT Class C Motorcoach 35L 2024, is an embodiment of the ideal home-on-wheels. Embellished with top-notch features, spectacular luxury, and powerful performance, it's a Class C RV that allows you to enjoy travel without any compromises.

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
