It is only worth what someone is WILLING to pay for..
With that said, it is 12 yrs old so I am guessing a few thousand perhaps..
You Honda has nothing to do with the trailer unless you are attempting to build it into the trailer.. You can easily resell the Honda separate from the trailer and get pretty much most of the money back (lots of Honda gen fanatics which don't mind paying top dollar)..
New awning? Well that depends on whether you are trying to fix up to sell or keep??
If you are fixing to sell, forget about it.. You will not ever recoup the cost of a new awning if you are selling the trailer..
Keeping it for a lot more camping? Well then you simply need to decide if the convenience of a attached awing is worth it to you.. If not leave the awning alone and buy a $60 Eazy Up fold up canopy..
Maintenance costs? Never will recoop those along with any interest you may have paid on it when it was new off the lot..
It is a depreciating asset for money, not a investment property to gain money.
Think of it as an investment in your family time, pretty hard to beat those family moments..
I have been going through digitizing my Dad's old Super8 films he took of our family back in the late 60's to early 70's.. Lots of family vacations, lots of memories, lots of places we visited when I was a kid.. Just can't put a price on that!
