Recently, I had the opportunity to examine the Sierra Destination Trailer 403RD 2021 by Forest River RV, a brand that has a respectable reputation in the industry. With a market price of $58788, this model emerges as a remarkable addition to the Destination Trailers category.
To begin with, construction quality stands out considering the Trailer's welded aluminum-framed, vacuum-bonded laminated superstructure ensuring both durability and longevity. The floor joists are 2” x 3”, placed 12” on center, featuring a 5/8” tongue and groove plywood floor decking and 3/8" roof decking. The camper body sits on a cambered powder-coated frame with rust prohibitor, ensuring resilient resistance against wear and tear. And don't forget about the Underbelly Armor protection.
Externally, the gel-coated color-matched exterior fiberglass presents an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The appealing elements include large tinted windows with an 80/20 UV prohibitor, providing excellent daylight within the unit while protecting the interior from harmful UV rays. The 16” radial tires ensure steady and comfortable maneuverability while the underbelly armor lends additional durability.
The body also features a Dometic “One-Touch” electric awning with adjustable arms and an integrated LED light, providing comfortable shade while enhancing user convenience. Functionally, they've considered every detail, including enclosed and heated dump valves, Lippert auto adjust brakes, rain gutters, and exterior folding grab handles among others.
Functionality and luxury continue inside with a spacious living space; 99” interior height with an impressive 6’4” slide heights. The trailer boasts of two-color-coordinated interiors (Flint, Fog), stain-resistant carpet, rustic plank pattern linoleum, walk-in showers, and extra-large picture windows throughout. Also, it comes with a hide-a-bed sofa with tri-fold that's perfect for accommodating extra guests.
Quality appliances fill out the trailer, such as a 22 cu. ft. stainless steel refrigerator and a 50” LED HDTV. Safety measures include, among others, a smoke alarm, fire extinguisher, breakaway switch, and a liquid propane (LP) gas detector.
Among the technical details worth noting are the trailer weight- 11,009 lb., Hitch Weight-1,268 lb, and the capacity to hold 50 gallons of fresh water, 104 gallons of gray water, and 52 gallons of black water.
In conclusion, with its superior construction features, meticulous attention to detail, exceptional comfort, and safety-focused design, the 2021 Sierra Destination Trailer 403RD represents excellent value for money. It serves as an unmistakable testament to Forest River RV's continued commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

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
