As others have mentioned, I believe that NADA values for RVs are based of a yearly depreciation off the original MSRP not actual market data. The problem is that IMO, they are not consistently wrong; some are too high, some are too low so they are hard to really use with any level of confidence.
I find that as an easy gauge, look for past sales on eBay. Obviously eBay is an auction so people are often buying sight unseen so I'd expect eBay prices to be lower than buying locally privately or from a dealer where you can test it and get it check thoroughly but I think they aren't too far off real world values (probably about 10-20% below).
