I'm 9 years from being in the same boat as you. We are debating buying a Toyhauler or Class A, mainly because we see ourselfs wanting a golf cart to tool around the campgrounds in. We are looking at workcamping half the year up north and wintering south.
One way to figure your depreciation question out is to look at costs of used class A's now that are one year old vs what they sell for new. Look at simialr units with similar ammenities and you will be able to get a ballpark percentage. The biggest drops are the first few years and then it tapers off to a flatter percentage and adjusted for condition/mileage.
ANother way to look at expected costs is to look at what ten year old units are selling for today and add an inflation percentage for each year to again, get you in the ball park. Of course, it's all open to what the economy and interest rates do over the next decade. If you know the answer to that question, play it in the stock market and you'll be abe to buy new if your right!;)
