The "best" RV has nothing at all to do with resale value. The best RV is the one that best suits the owners needs. That starts with floor plan followed by floor plan and lastly floor plan. There are other considering following that short list but price is not in there anywhere as long as the buyer is happy with the price.
I'm buying to use, not to sell. I'm buying because it does exactly what I want it to do, the way I want it to do it, for a price that I'm willing to pay. I couldn't care less what value "others" place on "my" stuff, neither while I have it nor when I'm done with it. At the end of my use, if it falls apart into dust, so be it. But I also don't replace vehicles every 3-5 years. I drive them for at least 10+ years, so when I DO replace them, the selling price is nothing more than a bit of extra spending money anyway.
Heck, I'm still riding my 1985 ATC250R that I bought brand new. It's value has actually increased over the last 10-15 years, to where it is now worth more than I paid for it.
