Most of the loss lands early: the Cherokee By Forest River 16FQC sheds about 7% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $20,986 it falls to around $13,661 by year five — a five-year loss near $7,325, about $4.01 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Cherokee By Forest River 16FQC bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
