WHAT IS THE COST OF A FREEDOM EXPRESS 274RKS

Standard Run MSRP $50,525

The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is the price that the manufacturer recommends for their product. RV dealerships use this figure as a starting point to set their final prices. While some dealer prices may be higher than the MSRP, others might be lower.

The Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) is the lowest price a manufacturer permits a retailer to publicly display for their product. You might see phrases like “price too low to show” on some websites, indicating that the dealership’s price is lower than the MAP, but they can’t advertise it without direct contact.

By contacting a dealership directly, you can often get a more precise and potentially lower estimate.

ROAD MODE

When it comes to travel, the 274RKS does have a couple of quirks. The kitchen is not fully accessible when the slide is closed, which might be a dealbreaker for some. However, the bedroom and bathroom are easily accessible, making it functional enough for shorter stops.

Still, this trailer is near perfect when set up at a destination, where the layout is optimized for comfort.
