Manufactured by the respected Vanleigh RV, it's a marvel of comfort and convenience, neatly tucked away into a mobile form. There's no shortage of things to love about this RV, and in this review, we'll be diving into some of its standout features, all thanks to data provided by See Dealer Cost.
Few other competitors can stand up to the Vilano Fifth Wheel when it comes to sturdiness. The RV utilizes high gloss fiberglass for its exterior and tubular aluminum for framing the sidewalls, floor and roof joists. Furthermore, its 5-sided framed, insulated and laminated slide room boxes and LED exterior lighting system promise both durability and functionality.
The living area of this RV is nothing short of luxurious. The full-profile ceiling throughout, paired with hardwood cabinetry and stylish window valances, creates a harmonious mix of elegance and homeliness. The Vilano Fifth Wheel also boasts a multiplex wiring system with a digital homescreen and smart phone connectivity, making the living area both practical and digital-age friendly.
The Vilano Fifth Wheel's kitchen lives up to this vehicle's reputation for luxury. Equipped with solid surface countertops, a stainless steel farm sink, and even a residential kitchen faucet with a pull-down sprayer, it has everything you need to whip up a satisfying meal. Moreover, the kitchen hosts a stainless steel convection microwave and an Insignia oven.
After a long day's travel, users can retreat to the cozy and comfortable bedroom equipped with a queen mattress, a hardwood drawer dresser, and a full-sized underbed storage area. The RV also ensures that its users don't miss out on entertainment. With the inclusion of an LG Smart TV and a sound bar with surround sound in the living area, entertainment is just a click away.
Vilano Fifth Wheel 385RD has made a significant improvement in its heating and cooling system compared to previous models. This RV houses two 15,000 BTU ACs and a 5,000 BTU electric fireplace, ensuring a pleasant and comfortable interior environment irrespective of the weather conditions outside.
With a length of 42'6", a width of 101", and a height of 13'1", the Vilano Fifth Wheel comfortably fits all these luxuries in just the right spaces. The GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is 18,500 lbs., while its dry weight is 15,500 lbs.

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
