rv depreciation schedule

Hi,
I'm looking to purchase a used rv. I'm wondering if anyone has an excel rv depreciation schedule. I saw that the RVCG group has a software package for 139.00 but I only want the schedule.

Any suggestions are appreciated....not depreciated :)

  • What the value is in one area is not the same in another.
    Ask your bank or Credit Union the loan value and retail value.
    They can tell you about new or used models. They could care less
    what a software program says. They use their own guidelines.
  • Use 20% for year one, and 10% of remaining value for subsequent years and you won't be far off average retail. If you want to sell, subtract another 10% for wholesale.
  • ^^^ Exactly. But hey, for $139 the RV Con Group will dupe you out of your $$$.

    You are spot on with the way too many variables comment. Look what happened to RV values after 9/11 then again in '08. Talk about big swings!

    To the OP, just do a little studying on NADA Guides, its pretty easy to come up with a % formula.

    How do you think the RV Con Group does it :W
  • Eskins, I'm also curious to why you would want a depreciation schedule. I can't imagine that they are that accurate. As fuel prices rise, gas guzzling vehicles for recreational use will plummet (generally speaking).

    A lot also depends on how the economy is doing.

    How can a 'depreciation schedule' be constantly up to date?

    One thing that is for sure, a RV will depreciate. Don't worry about it and have fun! These are toys and cost a lot to keep up and insure.

    Safe travels,
    MM.

    Waste of money to buy this program

    Its not a asset it a lifestyle (retired CPA)
  • Never seen anything like that! Used RV is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Generally 50% after 5 years, less for orphans.
