I went to nada.com and arbitrarily picked a 2006 38' Bounder. Has a "suggested list price" new of $178k and a current "average retail" price of $70k. Obviously the "suggested list price" is considerably higher than the actual new sale price, but the 10 yr old current value is probably around half the original new sale price.

If you want to get an idea of REAL selling prices, rather than NADA guesses or "asking" prices, go to eBay and find a coach similar to what you would consider. Then look at COMPLETED auctions. Those with the price in green will give the dollar figure that someone was actually willing to pay. You will find that most coaches do not sell at their asking prices and those that do sell are sold at well below the NADA guide values.

One major problem I have found is that several repair shops, Freight-liner, La Mesa RV, etc. have stopped working on ten year
old coaches. I bought two year old DP for $120K, now worth $20K.(and that's trade in value)
And it's in very good condition. Motor homes don't hold their value
very well, and older ones are almost worthless compared to original cost. I don't feel they are good investments except for the pleasure they give you.

Depreciation on a Motorhome is probably very similar to depreciation of an auto. 10 years old, you can maybe get 20 to 25 percent of the original purchase price on the sale of a normal auto (10 year old GMC Arcadia was around $36,000 new, no way it sells for more than $9,0000 if it has 100K miles, which is low usage of 10,000 miles per year). My guess is that Bounder probably sold new for around $130K and $25K to $30K would come pretty close to buying to today in a realistic sale . (normal miles no owner financing, not traded in retail to retail. Hasn't been completely gutted and redone with new electronics, flooring, fabrics etc.)
