As someone who appreciates the freedom, beauty, and adventure of the great outdoors, I always eagerly keep an eye peeled for the best in modern travel trailers. That being said, the 2023 Kingsport Lodge Series Destination Trailer 40DEN is a standout in its category. Manufactured by Gulf Stream Coach, this RV has quickly caught my attention and for all the right reasons.
One can't help but notice its firm and reliable structure, undoubtedly due to the 1-Piece Seamless Roof with a 12-year warranty and 2” x 41/2” Truss-Style Crowned Roof System. The walls, ceiling, and floor are masterfully screwed, glued, and tied together with steel straps. The unmatched Unibody-strength and resilience this travel trailer holds is certainly commendable.
The powdered steel I-beam frame with welded outriggers aids in assuring the safety and stability of the trailer on the road and throughout your journey. The laminated slide room header is reinforced with a solid 1/4” x 4” steel plate, further ensuring the RV's strength.
Now, let's dive into some comfort aspects. The Kingsport Lodge Series Destination Trailer 40DEN boasts high-performance wood grain vinyl flooring and scald and stain-resistant laminated countertops. It even includes flip-up queen bed with bedspread and privacy bedroom doors for ample comfort and convenience during the trip.
Equally impressive is the trailer's heating, cooling, and plumbing system - the trailer is fitted with a ducted 13,500 BTU roof air conditioner, 25,000 or 30,000 BTU gas furnace with insulated in-floor heat ducts, and a quick recovery 6-gallon gas DSI water heater.
The attention to electrical and safety aspects is commendable too; it includes a cable TV hook-up, a 30-amp service with a 45-amp converter with a charger, a fire extinguisher, smoke detectors, and more.
No modern travel trailer would be complete without a well-equipped kitchen and bath. This trailer features a 3-burner range with a super-burner and oven, a 6.0 cubic feet double-door refrigerator, and many more amenities you'd find in your own kitchen. A full functional bathroom with a shower skylight, power bath vent, foot flush toilet, and more, ensure all your at-home amenities are covered.
The well-structured, intelligently designed, and beautifully crafted 2023 Kingsport Lodge Series Destination Trailer isn't just a trailer—it's a home away from home on wheels. With an MSRP of $53,021 and a dealer invoice value of $36,566, it offers great value for the price. So if you're in the market for a new destination trailer, this just might be the prize catch for you.
The 2023 Kingsport Lodge Series Destination Trailer 40DEN by Gulf Stream Coach certainly raises the bar in Destination Trailers. It leaves no stone unturned in fitting in all the elements that make for a delightful and safe journey. So, if the vagabond spirit in you is yearning for the freedom to explore, this trailer is definitely a unit to consider.

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
