The latest entrant is the 2023 Berkshire XLT Class A Motorhome 45CA. This luxurious mobile home is the embodiment of a perfect road travel experience that combines ultimate comfort, excellent performance, and advanced technology for an unforgettable journey.
Proudly categorized under Class A RVs, the Berkshire XLT has a sturdy and robust Freightliner XCR raised rail chassis. Housing a powerful and efficient Cummins ISL engine with 450 horsepower and a 6-speed Allison 3000MH transmission, the motorhome promises smooth power delivery and excellent road manners. The impressive 15,000-pound towing capacity amply testifies to the vehicle’s strength. The substantial 150-gallon dual-fill fuel tank and 15-gallon DEF tank provide extended icing on the cake by facilitating long, worry-free trips.
High on aesthetics, the motorhome boasts of an elegant body painted in eye-catching color with matching painted slide-out end walls. Investigators would be impressed with the one-piece molded fiberglass roof, frameless, dark-tinted dual-pane windows, and painted fiberglass front and rear caps. The presence of a four-point fully auto hydraulic leveling system with auto air dump speaks volumes about the vehicle’s advanced capabilities. Intricately designed aluminized steel chassis skirts and diamond shield front mask protective film add to its visual charm and durability.
Step inside the Berkshire XLT, and the lavish interiors immediately strike a chord. A living area with ample seating, kitchen, bedroom area, and bathroom equipped with modern amenities ensure a comfortable stay, regardless of your travel destination. The interiors are spacious, thanks to the 84" interior ceiling height, complete with a fitted carpet in the entryway. The vehicle also comes with an energy management system and electronic house power disconnect switch, ensuring optimal energy usage.
Designed with a driver's comfort and safety in mind, the cockpit is equipped with a 10" Dash radio with color back-up, side view cameras, and a navigation system. The high-tech Mobileye Collision Avoidance System offers an added layer of safety, combined with automatic headlights, defroster fans, and convenient features such as wireless cellphone charger and keyless entry system.
The Berkshire XLT Class A Motorhome 45CA is offered at an MSRP of $565,475, making it a priced possession. However, the See Dealer Cost website ensures customers get the best possible deal by revealing what the dealer pays.

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
