Towed around North America by countless travel enthusiasts, Starcraft RV has been a staple in the RV world for over five decades. Their enduring quality is evident in the Telluride Series Fifth Wheels. In particular, the 2018 Telluride Series Fifth Wheel 297BHS 2022 refresh brings us a continuation of this excellence in the form of reliable, luxurious, comfort-driven design.
Let's delve into what makes this 2022 model worth considering.
The details are where Starcraft has always excelled, and the Telluride Series is no exception. The rig comes with a 120 GFCI protected receptacle, a trio of 20 lb. LP tanks, and 50 amp service. It boasts an impressive 4-point automatic leveling system — making those tricky setups in the uneven wilderness just a little bit easier. It also offers Equa-Flex axle suspension for a smoother ride.
The Telluride also enjoys class-leading I-beam chassis and solid swing-down entry steps – contributing towards a strong, stable, and reliable build. The fully-walkable roof further confirms its robustness, as does the TuffShell vacuum-bonded laminated construction. Starcraft seems to have taken every step necessary to ensure a durable design that is easy to maintain and will weather years of heavy use.
When it comes to luxury, comfort is king, and the interior of the Telluride reflects just that. It is decked out with a 6 gal. DSI gas/electric rapid recovery water heater and a residential high-rise faucet with a pull-down sprayer. Not to mention the beautiful hardwood cabinet doors and stainless steel under-mount sinks for the kitchen and bathroom. And to top it off, the cozy fireplace adds a touch of warmth (literally and metaphorically).
Accommodating a group of 10 people comfortably, the privacy of a separate master bedroom with electrical outlets on both sides of the bed is a delightful touch. The family-friendly floor design includes flush floor slides with residential vinyl flooring and roller blackout night shades for added privacy.
Another intriguing aspect is TravelLINK, a Smart RV system that allows Bluetooth control of awnings, lighting, slides, heating, cooling, auto-levelers, and much more. It's modern, sleek, and oh-so-convenient.
The Telluride Series Fifth Wheel 297BHS 2022 surely leaves nothing to be desired in terms of luxury, durability, and comfort. Given the quality of Starcraft RV's longstanding reputation, it is perhaps no surprise that the Telluride continues to shine.
True to its namesake, this fifth wheel isn't just a vehicle - it's an impeccable home on wheels.

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
