It has been an absolute pleasure to review the stunning 2023 Trailmaster Ultra Lite Travel Trailer 238RK offered by Gulf Stream Coach. This unit is part of the Ultra Lites category, striking the perfect balance between lightweight design and unparalleled comfort for travelers. After a detailed overview, I am confident that this travel trailer is an excellent investment for those who are passionate about exploring the open road with comfort and style.
The 238RK model is characterized by its sturdy construction. What caught my attention is the use of 1-Piece Synthetic Vinyl Roof coupled with a 12-year supplier warranty. This guarantees the longevity and durability of the unit. The fiberglass insulation, which is hand-cut and glued in place and bonded to the walls to prevent any form of settling, plays a significant role in ensuring a comfortable stay within the trailer regardless of weather conditions.
In terms of interior decor, the white vinyl-clad ceiling panels and cabinetry that comes with designer drawer and door pulls are admirable features. The hardwood cabinet doors, mortise, and tenon joints, together with the vinyl flooring throughout the unit, all contribute to providing a homely and cozy feeling.
The unit is also equipped with a gas furnace that has an impressive capacity of 16,000 BTUs and ducting for a value package A/C. This ensures the interior remains comfortably warm during chillier periods. Safety hasn't been overlooked either; it comes with wall-mounted fire extinguisher, combined CO/LP detector, smoke detector, ensuring you peace of mind as you travel.
Functionality is amped up with its impressive set of appliances, including a power range hood with light, a 6 cu. ft. 2-Door Dometic Refrigerator/Freezer, and a 3-Burner Gas Range. They surely enhance the comfort and convenience of the unit. Another feature that piqued my interest is the foot-flush toilet and neo-angle shower with a glass shower door designed for ultimate comfort.
Its exterior features offer additional utility. Pass-thru storage and diamond plate lower front are practical additions. Furthermore, the unit comes with four 14" tires and rims that adds to the travel trailer's rugged and solid appearance.
All of these wonderful features come in a compact body, with an impressive length of 22'11", width of 96", interior height of 6'8", and dry weight of 4,420 lbs. This makes for a travel trailer that is both easy to maneuver and comfortable to live in.
In conclusion, the 2023 Trailmaster Ultra Lite Travel Trailer 238RK by Gulf Stream Coach is a formidable competitor in the market of lightweight travel trailers. Its robust construction, well-designed interior, and functional features make it an excellent choice for both veteran travelers and newbies alike. This unit's focus on comfort, convenience, durability, and elegance undoubtedly makes it a quality choice in its category.

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
