Loss on sale of motorhome

Here is a bit of an anecdote. I paid $115K for a 2014 model Class C motorhome in 2013 but the dealer "over-allowed" on my trade by about $20K bringing my net cost down to about $95K. It had major safety related problems and I got tired of dealing with them. I sold it for $70K and low NADA book was $63K. We didn't even use it a year. Some offers I got were in the $50K range. It had about 8K miles and looked in mint condition because we only used it 5 times. I detailed it so it looked front line ready. This means I lost about $30K on the sale of the motorhome which is what I expected about 30% less than I paid. Unfortunately, that is the way it is. My unit was a very common model and most people will naturally gravitate to new units rather than pay similar for a used unit with no warranty.
