Most people use their RV recreationally (which is another way of saying “not very often”).
This is where you come in. Why not let the original owner absorb the hard 1st year’s depreciation and warranty issues?
A brand new RV will lose around20% of its retail value the moment you drive it off the lot. (That means a $30,000 travel trailer has a selling price of $24,000 by the time you get it home!)
Oh… it gets worse. The trade value of the same trailer will be closer to $19,000 in the same time frame… So you’ve just lost roughly 33% of the value of your trailer BEFORE you’ve even cracked a beer & flipped your first burger at the campsite!
