## The Depreciation Reality
RVs depreciate  but not equally. Understanding depreciation helps you make a smarter purchase and a stronger trade-in negotiation.
## Average Depreciation by Year
| Year | Value Remaining |
|------|----------------|
| Year 1 | 80–85% |
| Year 2 | 72–78% |
| Year 3 | 65–72% |
| Year 5 | 55–65% |
| Year 10 | 40–50% |
*Premium brands retain value at the higher end of these ranges.*
## Brands That Hold Value Best
**Airstream**  Arguably the best resale value in the industry. The aluminum exterior and iconic styling command premium used prices. A 10-year-old Airstream often sells for 60–70% of original MSRP.
**Grand Design**  Consistently praised for build quality. Strong resale driven by reputation and active owner community.
**Keystone Montana**  America's best-selling luxury fifth wheel holds value extremely well at the $70,000–$120,000 price point.
**Winnebago**  The motorhome division holds value better than most. The Travato Class B is in particularly high demand on the used market.
