As we enter 2023, I am eager to share my reflection on the Matrix Ultra Lite Travel Trailer 282BH 2023 by Gulf Stream Coach. After inspecting the details, it's crystal clear why this travel trailer deserves to be categorized as an 'Ultra Lite.'
If aesthetics and homely feel are your priorities, you'll greatly appreciate the interior of the trailer. The 'Matador Frost' ceiling panels and 'Plush Dunes' wall vinyl lend a refreshing touch you'll love. The cabinetry, with its solid wood stiles and wood cabinet doors, adds a rustic charm that beautifully complements the modern designer window treatments.
One of the many striking features of this model is how it amalgamates technology with comfort. The interior LED lighting illuminates the space adequately, and the multiple USB charging ports ensure your devices are always powered up. Offering more than just functionality, the 2023 trailer is tech-ready with features such as Wi-Fi, Cable and Satellite connections, Solar Panel readiness, and Back-Up Camera prep.
The kitchen is a delight for all camping enthusiasts who love cooking. The stainless-steel 3-burner range with an oven and glass cover, the stainless steel microwave oven, and the 12V 10.7 cu. ft. stainless steel Everchill refrigerator/freezer, lend a sleek, modern touch to the kitchen. Additionally, the exterior is designed for outdoor cooking too, with a prep for an outdoor gas grill.
Beyond design and technology, safety is well addressed by integrating a wall mount fire extinguisher, combo LP and CO detector, and a smoke detector. The bathroom is another feature worth noting. It comprises a vast 30" x 36" walk-in shower with a door, a foot flush toilet, and a medicine cabinet with a mirror. Not to forget, the skylight in the shower enhances its aesthetics.
As far as the exterior goes, the one-piece vinyl roof and the fiberglass sidewalls with Azdel give it a sleek and modern appearance. The radial tires with long-lasting aluminum rims ensure a smooth and steady journey. Its dry weight stands at 6,251 lbs, and it has an impressive net carrying capacity of 3,329 lbs.
To sum up, the Matrix Ultra Lite Travel Trailer 282BH 2023 is a fantastic fusion of technology, aesthetics, and comfort, while ensuring safety and robustness. All these features are available for a reasonable MSRP of $41,500, making it a truly value-added proposition. With all these features, your travel experiences are bound to be memorable.

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
