See signature - I own the exact coach you are comparing here (Georgetown 351 bunk model).
One thing I noticed in looking at the two you compared: The one from RVdirect for $81k looks like it has full body paint. The one you linked to on rvtrader does not. That makes a significant difference in its value, around $8k difference. You need to get RV direct's price for that coach without the full body paint, to make a more accurate comparison. That, or look for a Georgetown 351 model on rvtrader that has the full body paint.
..Anyway, I'm not sure if that helps or hurts your point about depreciation, but just thought I'd point that out. I will say also, that if you're serious about getting one of these rigs, the full body paint is WELL worth the extra cost, for how much nicer it looks, and how it helps resale value in the long run. :)
