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.

LIVING & DINING

The entertainment center includes a swing-out TV mount, which has been redesigned for 2025 to allow better viewing angles from both the kitchen and dining areas.

BATHROOM


The bathroom is both aesthetic and functional. The porcelain foot-flush toilet and spacious 6’9″ shower make it easier for the taller RVers. Although the fan is a standard 4″ design, the rest of the room’s functionality is top-notch.

Built-in towel storage clips.

BEDROOM


The 274RKS bedroom features a 60” x 80” true queen-size bed, ideal for those who need a bit more space to stretch out. An innovative headboard “power pocket” behind the closets includes outlets for charging devices, and overhead cabinet space to keep essentials within reach.

Second A/C prep with 50-amp service option.
Strut-assisted under-bed storage.

There is additional storage beneath the bed, complete with four spacious dresser drawers.

While the room has TV hookups, the placement isn’t ideal, but it’s the best spot given the layout. If you’re looking for a camper that’s tall-person friendly and has storage galore, the bedroom of the Freedom Express won’t disappoint.

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.
