In my personal experience, we bought our first ACE and had a little over 2 years and sold it for about $20k less than we purchased it for (we wanted a new model). When you are talking about only spending 70-75k, 20k is a lot to lose on the first 2 years. And that private sale was well above what the dealership offered us for a trade. in 2 years a new ACE will be worth about $45-50k on the wholesale market depending on miles and the shape. It's a very entry level unit. The ACE is great as a weekender you plan on keeping a few years, but I don't know that I would consider it or the FR3 as a full time contender and then re-sell. Frankly no MH is a good investment for resale. Plan on losing about 20-30%. And although we love our ACE, it's not the best long distance MH. Most gas MH's are loud and don't handle particularly well and it's exacerbated on the entry level models. Point being, it can wear you out. We use ours for destination trips and it's suited for that. If I were to full time, even for a year, I would consider an older, higher end model that you can get for a price that is already depreciated. I would even consider a DP as they hold their value better despite adding miles, ride nicer and make the trip more pleasant - not just the destination.
