I would think the one that is the most beat up when bought would hold it's value more. Buy it cheap...sell it cheap. Let's do a little math:
Buy a new one for $30K...resell in two years is 60% = $18,000 HUGE loss
Buy a decent used one for $16K...resell in two years = $12k $4k loss
Buy a piece of **** for $4,000.....resell it for $3k winner, winner, chicken dinner
Okay. That's not what you were looking for...
But you are absolutely correct. The only variables are the market when buying and when selling and how the person takes care of their RV. Remember, if X % of the used RVs out there are ill kept , then X % of RVs bought will be bought by people too dumb or lazy to take care of theirs as well.
In which case, you’re still correct and the $4k RV wins for resale regardless of who owns it! Side bonus, you could probably slide right into homeless camps and mooch a spot easily with a $4k camper as well!
