And the 1 year difference in sale price is....what? Trading in, you'll of course get less than book/retail. Private sale...more than likely MORE than the book/retail value. Consignment? Set the price you want and hope for the best.
Basically, it all comes down to how long you want to...,or how long you keep your motorhome.
If you trade-in every year...couple years, you will take a beating. Or, like me...mine is now 12 years old and paid for. 50,000+ miles, still runs and looks good. Everything works. I intend to use/own it for maybe 2-3 more years, then get out. And then.....whatever the market will bear. I didn't buy the thing for trade or sale values on it down the road. I bought it with a long-time "keeper" in mind. I bought to to enjoy...and I do. Some of the on-the-road memories are priceless
That's the way I see it...FWIW.
