Recently, I had the chance to explore the 2023 Sierra Destination Series 401FLX, manufactured by Forest River RV, featured on the website See Dealer Cost. I found the Sierra Destination Series not just impressive but also a game-changer in the world of Destination Trailers. Its features and customized design make it a top-notch RV and an ideal choice for travel enthusiasts.
To start with, the exterior craftsmanship catches your attention instantly. It boasts a gel-coated color-matched exterior fiberglass while the detachable hitch provides an added convenience. Safety measures are well-considered, the RV is equipped with enclosed and heated dump valves and Lippert auto-adjust brakes system. The underbelly armor and large tinted windows with 80/20 UV prohibitor offer security while maintaining aesthetics. What adds to its overall attractiveness is the electric awning equipped with an LED light strip. The entrance hosts radius triple steps with a 9” riser, ensuring a comfortable climb with no chance of pinched fingers.
Inside, the Sierra Destination Series 401FLX 2023 exemplifies luxury and comfort. The interior heights stretch up to 99” with 6’4” slide heights, leaving you ample space to move around. The residential stain-resistant carpet maintains the cleanliness and aesthetic of your space, and the rustic plank pattern linoleum adds to the RV's aesthetic appeal.
Interestingly, the RV offers two color-coordinated interiors (Cocoa, Pearl), both equally pleasing and serene. The range of appliances provided is impressive, a 4-burner high output stainless free-standing range, a 22 cu. ft. stainless steel refrigerator, and a dishwasher among others. The RV is also furnished with a washer/dryer prep and a 50” flatscreen TV which is a bonus.
To top it off, the RV offers a luxurious memory foam mattress to ensure a comfortable sleep after a day's travel. The interior also boasts handmade cabinetry with screwed lumber core stile construction. The crown molding over kitchen cabinets, the extra-large picture windows throughout the RV, and solid wood drawer fronts with birch sides are examples of the attention to detail in the design of this RV.
Safety is clearly a priority in this model. The RV comes with a smoke alarm, fire extinguisher, dead-bolt lock on entry door, and a liquid propane (LP) gas detector to keep you safe. Breakaway switch (battery hook-up required) is another great addition to its safety measures.
The 2023 Sierra Destination Series 401FLX sets a high standard for Destination Trailers. The array of features and attention to detail in terms of both comfort and safety makes this RV truly worth its MSRP of $78,639 according to See Dealer Cost. In summary, if you're in search of an RV that brings together luxury, comfort, and safety, the 2023 Sierra Destination Series 401FLX may be your ideal choice.

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,
