A brand new RV will lose around 20% 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!
