RV Depreciation
Does anyone know of an online calculator or tool that provides accurate RV pricing and depreciation that is NOT aimed to support dealers? Is there anything with Artificial Intelligence analysis? ...

there is nothing aside from what you, the buyer, is willing to pay for it.since 2019 RV's have been artificialy high in cost because of demand and carry over from covid when all people did was spend to much money on rv's. I think I saw them starting to drop this year towards normal pricing but they are not there yet.
so when we bought ours we just looked around at quality vs cost, then you try your best to get a deal. if your not willing to pay the price some one with more money and less brains will.
even the private market can be a unreliable source. if some one bought a rv between say 2019 and 2025, then they paid a inflated price for that rv in most cases and hence when they list it they think it is worth more than it is. I watched truck camper prices rise from say 65K in 2018 for a nice canadian brand, to 98K in 2024 and this year is has dropped off to 83K .
basicly I found the quality that was aceptable to me, a floor plan that worked, and got them to drop the price a bit, and then throw in some extras untill I felt like I was making out OK.
Thanks for your response. I’ve tried contacting Brinkley, Airstream, and Winnebago to purchase a direct to consumer pathway for myself and others. I was stonewalled each time. It seems the Dealerships have carved out a niche. The manufacturers will only sell to them.
I need Tesla to come out with an RV.
no you don't, then not only will tesla make the worst ev for fit and finnish, they would also make the worst rv for fit and finnish, that one area you want your rv to be nice
yup thats the only model that there realy is. people would be shocked to learn how much they are overpaying when they think they got a good deal. My 2006 thor wave was a 28 foot bunkhouse model with a slide, I paied 19K for it after wheeling and dealing and them doing a deep discount as they sold the firs one from under me when I has a deposit down, so they had to bring another in for me real fast. so originaly the MSRP was 29.900Cdn I ended up getting for 19 somthing and they messed up because they were in such a hurry to get it to me they left the boarder declaration in there where the declared value was 8000US. our dollar was pretty close to the US dollar then, I believer it was .89 or .90. so the dealer made 10K off me minus any shipping fees or what not he had to pay even with 33% off MSRP.
