50% less from what you paid
Just for fun I called a big dealer and ask him to give me what he would give for my 4 year old Winnebago Sightseer . It was 1/2 of what I payed for it. Does it ever stop going down or level off.

I was just thinking about the decline in value of my previous coach, but cannot calculate it because I traded a 3 yo Damon Daybreak for it plus cash and then traded it for my present coach. I owned the Southwind for 8 years and put just about 110,000 miles on it. I figure that I got about $10,000 for the coach in trade - msrp when I bought was $120,000 but I figure I got it for about $90,000 so depreciation was about $10,000 per year. Since we averaged more than 6 months a year living in it, I feel that we got plenty of value for the money. The mileage was a big detriment to the dealer. Many would not even consider a trade. I can understand that the market for 8 yo gas coaches with high mileage is poor even if they have been well maintained. KBB suggested it was worth $15,000.
