If you are starting with the MSRP an RV depreciation is 30% driving it off the lot and another 10%at the end of the first year… and 6% for each year beyond…
but everyone knows no one pays MSRP for a new coach, they are normally discounted in the 20 to 30% range…
So using the purchase price here is the depreciation schedule I use, the curve seems to work on all types of RV’s… so a unit would be worth about half its new value at the beginning of its 6 year and the beginning of its 3 year as a best time to buy from a depreciating standpoint only and assuming it was taken care of reasonably well and everything still works…
