Buyer questions
Eight questions buyers ask about the Forest River Cedar Creek Cottage 40CDL, answered from the RVs listed on US RV Connection right now.
Right now US RV Connection has 3 approved, priced Cedar Creek Cottage 40CDL listings, asking from $67,995 to $89,988, with a median asking price of $89,988. Those are asking prices set by sellers, not confirmed sale figures, so what a unit actually changes hands for can differ. All three listings include photos, which helps when you are comparing condition and options at those price points.
The current listings span model years 2024 through 2027, so you are looking at a mix of recent used and newer units rather than older trailers. With only three priced 40CDLs listed at the moment, the year spread is thin, and a specific year may or may not be available on any given day. Each listing shows its own model year alongside the asking price and photos.
The 40CDL is a single floorplan, and one dealer description spells out the highlights: a large loft with stairs holding three bunk mats and a wardrobe with a safety railing, dual entry doors, a kitchen island, a free-standing table with extension, a power theater seat, and a rear private bedroom with a king bed slide. The listings are categorized on the site under Other and Travel trailer.
Even on 2024 to 2027 units, check the roof and all sealant seams, the slide seals and operation on the king bed slide, and look for soft spots in the floor and around both entry doors. Go up the stairs and check the loft railing, bunk mats and wardrobe for damage. Test the power theater seat, appliances, and all 120-volt and 12-volt systems. Confirm the VIN matches the paperwork and ask for service history.
From the dealer description on these listings: a large loft reached by stairs with three bunk mats, a wardrobe and a protective railing, dual entry doors, a kitchen island, a free-standing table with extension, a power theater seat, and a rear private bedroom with a king bed slide. Other equipment varies by unit and year, so check the individual listing photos and description rather than assuming anything beyond that.
That is the use the facts support. It is described as a destination trailer, with a loft holding three bunk mats, dual entry doors, a kitchen island, a free-standing table with extension, a power theater seat and a rear private bedroom with a king bed slide. That is a stay-put, extended-stay layout. The listings do not state weights, lengths or tow ratings, so do not treat it as a casual tow-anywhere trailer.
The three priced 40CDL listings on US RV Connection are in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, which has two, and Winter Garden, Florida, which has one. That is the full current spread, so buyers outside those areas should plan on travel or transport. Inventory changes, so check the listings for current locations, model years between 2024 and 2027, asking prices and photos.
By the numbers on the site, the 40CDL is the priciest of the three, asking $67,995 to $89,988 with a median of $89,988 across 3 listings. The Puma Vista 403LFT shows 7 listings from $61,888 to $64,995, median $64,985, in 2026 to 2027. The Cherokee Grey Wolf has 8 listings from $23,988 to $35,988, median $31,950. We do not have feature-by-feature detail on the siblings, only these listing prices and years.
