There's no doubt about it - the way we vacation and travel has changed drastically in recent years. With the rise of the "staycation" and an increased emphasis on creating a home away from home, it's unsurprising that the humble trailer has evolved into something quite exceptional. Today, I want to take a closer look at one of the gems in this category - the 2024 Residence Destination Trailer 40LOFT.
Having done a deep-dive on this magnificent vehicle listed on the See Dealer Cost website – a great resource for potential buyers – I must say, the trailer offers some noteworthy features that make it stand out in the crowded field of destination trailers. Packed with numerous amenities, solid construction, and thoughtful designs, this model is an embodiment of comfortable and luxurious travel.
From the outside, you are met with a 102" wide-body, 12" powder-coated i-beam frame structure, which offers impressive stability and durability over time and on challenging terrains. The exterior is further enhanced with the fully walkable 4.5 " crowned roof with seamless TPO, and a fiberglass front with soffit lights adds an elegant touch. One of the things I admire is the practicality and security features, such as the detachable hitch, tinted safety glass windows, and dual pane windows. The heated and enclosed underbelly adds to the all-weather readiness of this trailer, enabling you to take it out for a spin even in colder climates.
If the exterior is about stability and durability, the interior oozes comfort. The moment you step inside by way of the sliding glass door, you’re welcomed by a spacious sanctuary thanks to the 84" slide height and an impressive 96" interior ceiling. The centrepiece is undoubtedly the comfortable 72 "tri-fold sofa(s), perfect for lounging after a day of exploration or simply enjoying your favourite books or shows. The inclusion of the fireplace is a thoughtful touch, adding a cozy ambience and warmth.
The appliances are equally impressive: a 50" TV is accompanied by an AM/FM/CD/DVD/Bluetooth stereo for entertainment, while a 15 cu. ft. refrigerator, a microwave and a 3-burner cooktop take care of your culinary needs. The bathroom houses a corner shower with a glass door and porcelain toilet, with enough privacy and convenience for any traveler.
In terms of safety features, the Residence Destination Trailer doesn't compromise either. Built-in carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, propane gas leak detector, and a fire extinguisher should offer peace of mind for those security-conscious road trippers out there.
The 2024 Residence Destination Trailer 40LOFT indeed offers an impressive array of features that are perfect for modern, comfortable, and safe travel. With a carrying capacity of 1,628 lbs and a length of 40’ 8”, it provides ample storage and living space – making it an ideal home on wheels.
In conclusion, I believe the Residence offers a compelling option for the growing legion of road trippers against its MSRP of $82493. The 2024 Residence Destination Trailer 40LOFT is truly a top-tier purchase for those keen on owning a slice of mobile luxury.

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
