With the release of the Berkshire XL Class A Motorhome 40C 2023 by Forest River, the bar in recreational vehicles (RVs) has officially been raised. As an icon of grandeur and luxury, the Berkshire XL is the epitome of high-end travel experience on wheels. Its state-of-the art features, coupled with comfort-centric design make it an outstanding choice for any travel enthusiast. This make from Forest River RV 2023 is a masterpiece of innovation.
One cannot help but marvel at the sheer power of the Freightliner XCR Raised Rail Chassis compounded by the turbo diesel 380HP Cummins ISL, which guarantees impressive power and performance on the open road. The Allison 3000MH 6-speed transmission ensures the drive is smooth regardless of the distance covered. Keeping users' safety in mind, the Berkshire XL has been fitted with 15,000 lb. capacity trailer hitch with Air Tow System, full air ABS brakes, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
The physical grandeur of the Berkshire XL Motorhome 40C 2023 is staggering. The fiberglass front and rear caps crowned by a one-piece molded fiberglass roof give it an undeniable aesthetic appeal. Both the front and rear sport full body painted exteriors, complemented by diamond shield front mask protective film. Its frameless dual pane, dark tint windows only add to its aura of luxury.
Inside, the 2023 Berkshire XL Class A Motorhome is dripping with extravagance. From polished porcelain tile throughout, a 72"x 80" motorized tilt Serta king bed, to the semi-gloss hardwood cabinetry with glazing, every corner screams comfort and poise. Every appliance within is of assured quality, including a 3-piece, 23 cubic foot french door refrigerator, electric induction glass cooktop, and a central vacuum system.
The phenomenal tech features keep up with the digital age, with a modern 10" Dash radio with color back-up and side view cameras, coupled with an automatic WiFi extended range antenna and router. The JBL Soundbar with integrated sub and bluetooth truly brings the concept of mobile entertainment to life.
On utility grounds, the RV boasts an incredible fuel capacity of 100 gallons. Its significant exterior size: 41 feet length and 12 feet 9-inch height is complemented with a convenient interior 84" ceiling height, ensuring you have ample space to move around freely and comfortably. Furthermore, it is environmentally mindful with an efficient water management system.
All in all, remaining true to its name, the 2023 Berkshire XL Class A Motorhome 40C is a testament to true luxury and power. Forest River RV has outdone themselves once again, setting an astounding benchmark for Class A RVs. This RV is indeed a salient representation of top-tier motorhome craftsmanship.

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
