Cherokee by Forest River 16BFH keeps an estimated 52% of its value after 5 years — #3624 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Cherokee by Forest River 16BFH retains an estimated 52% of its value after five years, ranking #3624 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Cherokee by Forest River 16BFH sheds about 16% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $29,808 it falls to around $15,500 by year five — a five-year loss near $14,308, about $7.84 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Cherokee by Forest River 16BFH bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
