RV Resale Value: What Holds Its Value Best

## The Depreciation Reality RVs depreciate — but not equally. Understanding depreciation helps you make a smarter purchase and a stronger trade-in negotiation. ## Average Depreciation by Year | Year | Value Remaining | |------|----------------| | Year 1 | 80–85% | | Year 2 | 72–78% | | Year 3 | 65–72% | | Year 5 | 55–65% | | Year 10 | 40–50% | *Premium brands retain value at the higher end of these ranges.* ## Brands That Hold Value Best **Airstream** — Arguably the best resale value in the industry. The aluminum exterior and iconic styling command premium used prices. A 10-year-old Airstream often sells for 60–70% of original MSRP. **Grand Design** — Consistently praised for build quality. Strong resale driven by reputation and active owner community. **Keystone Montana** — America's best-selling luxury fifth wheel holds value extremely well at the $70,000–$120,000 price point. **Winnebago** — The motorhome division holds value better than most. The Travato Class B is in particularly high demand on the used market. ## What Hurts Value - Water intrusion/delamination - Roof damage - Maintenance neglect - Non-original modifications ## Our Certified Pre-Owned Program Every used unit we sell passes our 87-point inspection.
