Being an avid enthusiast of the RV life, it’s not one to forget the moment I firstly set my eyes on the 2022 Wildwood Lodge Destination Trailer 42QBQ crafted by Forest River RV. This behemoth isn’t your average motor home: this is a destination trailer, aptly grouped among what you may fondly refer to as a ‘luxury apartment on wheels’.
Starting with the foundation, the construction of this destination trailer is commendable. Sporting 2" wall studs at maximum intervals of 16," and 5" bowed truss roof rafters, the trailer's structure is fundamentally strong. The robust build is accompanied by a seamless one-piece roof which comes with a 15-year manufacturer defect warranty - a testament to the expected quality and longevity of the product. Insulation throughout with fiberglass and the high-gloss, optional gel coat on aluminum siding assures not only thermal comfort but also an elegance to the exterior body.
Amid this robust setup nestles the homely charm, made noticeable by the slide-out rooms which are an impressive 7ft in height, and the residential carpet with padding. A generous window package helps accentuate the roominess of the main slide, and with cross-ventilation, you are assured of a comfort unmatched. Inside, you'll find plush recliners, a tri-fold sofa, and a ceiling fan in most models which elevate your comfort as you unwind in your traveling home.
I appreciate that they haven’t skimped on the creature comforts either, setting you equipped with modern amenities such as dual USB ports in the bedrooms, and a Bluetooth soundbar with external speakers for a full-immersion media experience. Tinted safety glass windows maintain your privacy and also protect against harmful UV rays.
The kitchen boasts a generous double-door refrigerator, and with two outlets in every kitchen, convenience and functionality do not seem to compromise. The bathroom has a 50" walk-in shower, proving that even in a destination trailer, luxury is not in short supply.
With the technical jargon, it bears a hitch weight of 1,365 lbs, an exterior length of 42' 4", complimented with an impressive ceiling height of 12' 8". Conserving resources is taken into account as it embodies a 40-gallon fresh water capacity, Interestingly, both gray and black water capacities are an upgraded 80-gallon capacity each. This showstopper sports a huge 20’ awning, making outdoor hangouts under cozy shelter feasible. For a towering entity of this magnitude, the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for this beauty is $68,342. But - as the See Dealer Cost website asserts - you can find it at an invoice price of $47,132.
For most of us, choosing the RV life is synonymous with choosing freedom, and with the amenities and construction of the 2022 Wildwood Lodge Destination Trailer 42QBQ, it broadens the horizon of what freedom can mean. You do not feel confined to the restrictions generally associated with RV life, rather, you move with a home as versatile and adaptable as you desire. It is a ‘destination trailer’, indeed. No matter where you park, you take a piece of your home along.

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
