Per VINdown's modeling, the Cedar Creek 38FBD retains an estimated 61% of its value after five years, ranking #2017 of 5948 RVs & trailers we track. That is 6 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 Cedar Creek 38FBD sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $105,618 it falls to around $64,215 by year five — a five-year loss near $41,403, about $22.69 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Cedar Creek 38FBD bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
