As someone who appreciates the art of travel and believes in doing it comfortably, the Columbus Fifth Wheels by Palomino RV 2023 Columbus Fifth Wheel 299RL caught my eye. More than just a mode of transport or a travel accessory, this RV is a veritable home on wheels introduced in 2023, built to offer optimum comfort to its users. The design, functionalities, and features it brings to the table are noteworthy, making RV travel more opulent than ever before.
The construction of this RV leaves no room for compromise, featuring a 101" wide body, an all-aluminum frame superstructure welded meticulously to ensure the utmost strength and durability. It is not just about sturdiness, though. The living area slides offer an impressive 6'11" height, increasing the spaciousness inside, and features heat ducts in out-of-traffic areas. The flooring is made of 5/8" tongue and groove plywood floor, known for its strength and carrying capacity. All these qualities make it feel less of a vehicle and more of a mobile home.
The 16" wheels of this RV are made for exploration, ready to conquer any terrain. Supported by the MORryde CRE3000 suspension system and Lippert Axles, these wheels ensure convenient and safe travel. Along with aluminum wheels, the unit also comes with grey wheel-well skirting, a detail that adds a touch of elegance to the overall design. The exterior is also outfitted with a black tank flush, an outside shower, and slam latches on all storage doors.
The interior is a world full of luxuries crafted to meet your home comfort expectations while on the road. It features large, frameless, tinted windows throughout. There are hidden hinges, soft-close doors, and drawers fitted with upgraded hardware. The crown molding throughout the unit gives it a residential finish that's aesthetically pleasing. It also has roller day/night shades, solid wood steps, and a large entry closet for the storage of jackets and shoes.
In terms of functionality, Columbus Fifth Wheel 299RL is a powerhouse. The kitchen is the epitome of convenience with a full pantry, upgraded solid-surface countertops, a deep bowl stainless steel sink, and a 3-speed power vent, among other features. The living space includes a plush pillow-top mattress, mirrored, sliding closet doors, and high-end bedspread and pillows. This RV also includes a 50" TV with a built-in soundbar, welcoming new levels of entertainment on road trips. The full-system water purifier, 30" residential microwave, 4-burner gas cooktop, are just some of the numerous appliances that make this RV nothing short of a portable home.
All in all, the 2023 Columbus Fifth Wheel 299RL is thoughtfully designed, combining comfort and convenience to provide a sublime RV experience. It offers a unique blend of luxury and functionality, assuring a noteworthy travel experience. If an RV is your way of exploring the world, this model, new in 2023, is undoubtedly worthy of your attention.

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
