Per VINdown's modeling, the Bowlus Terra Firma retains an estimated 58% of its value after five years, ranking #2259 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That is 3 points above the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Bowlus Terra Firma sheds about 15% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $285,000 it falls to around $165,585 by year five — a five-year loss near $119,415, about $65.43 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Bowlus Terra Firma bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
