What's right/wrong with this math?
Our Silverback Quad Bunk has been a great unit for us - 9th season. Our youngest child is entering into her senior year of HS, middle child is a sophomore in college, and oldest is a senior in college. Here's our dilema as I look to possibly upgrade:
Trade value on our 2008 is 15K.
Keep current unit and wait about 5 years when we become empty nesters to upgrade.
Trade up to a similar model and then again in 5-6 years to "emtpy nester" model.
Reasons to get out of our current model: no second air, 30A trips circuit frequently, missing some "fun" items on new units (automatic levelers, etc).
1. Trade mine for similar updated model, then trade that for "empty nest" model = projected to cost me my unit plus 50K by 2023.
2. Keep mine and wait 5-6 years and trade up (less trade value) = 50k in 2023.
I hope that was somewhat clear. Obvious here is the market prices of trades and selected models. All things being equal, what would you do?
