The 2024 Arcadia Fifth Wheel 253SLRD is an epitome of elegance and efficiency embodied in a fifth wheel travel trailer. While it is categorized as a Fifth Wheel, its design and provisions can match those of a genuine home. Renowned for their expertise and innovative craftsmanship, Arcadia has won admiration once again by concreting their reputation as pioneers in the Fifth Wheel industry with the introduction of the Arcadia Fifth Wheel 253SLRD.
The exterior of the 2024 Arcadia Fifth Wheel 253SLRD is characterized by a structural I-beam frame with stamped steel cross-members and outriggers which is an explicit testimony of its durability. Further, the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust electric brake system and the Dexter 6000 lb leaf spring axles definitely ensure that safety is not compromised. The conservative yet elegant aesthetic is maintained with laminated sidewalls accompanied by a 5-sided aluminum superstructure revealing a graceful blend of strength and style. It also features tinted safety glass windows, an automotive-grade painted fiberglass front cap with KeyShield protection and AlphaPLY roof membrane with a limited lifetime warranty, hinting at the uncompromised quality standards of Arcadia.
The inside of the Fifth Wheel mirrors a quality and sophisticated residential vibe. The tall slide-out offers extra comfort and headroom. The Roman shades throughout the interior give the slightly rustic aesthetic a touch of modernity. The inclusion of a 5,100 BTU electric fireplace with thermostat control and remote manifests a sense of homeliness.
In the kitchen area, the stainless steel undermount sink and high-rise chef’s faucet provide the convenience of a standard home kitchen. Appliances include a 0.9 Cu. Ft. microwave, 21" Furrion range with Piezo ignition and glass stovetop cover, and a 10 Cu. Ft. 12 Volt "Solar Friendly" refrigerator with dent resistant doors.
The bedroom is designed with the assurance of a good night's sleep in mind, featuring a queen bed with under-bed storage and LED reading lights. The bathroom also doesn’t disappoint, boasting a large shower with a glass door and skylight, porcelain foot flush toilet, and seamless, pressed countertops with a large sink.
Safety measures such as the breakaway switch, GFI receptacles, Carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, propane gas leak detector, and fire extinguisher justly reflect Arcadia’s focus on travel safety. It also features the SolarFlex Protect 220 propagating green energy.
Undoubtedly, the 2024 Arcadia Fifth Wheel 253SLRD is a cut above the rest and is poised to be an essential asset for your travels. In terms of enabling luxury in an outdoor environment, this model by Arcadia truly excels and leaves a lasting impression.

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
