Cherokee by Forest River 17MPH keeps an estimated 53% of its value after 5 years — #3412 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Cherokee by Forest River 17MPH retains an estimated 53% of its value after five years, ranking #3412 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 2 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Cherokee by Forest River 17MPH sheds about 16% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $34,491 it falls to around $18,280 by year five — a five-year loss near $16,211, about $8.88 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Cherokee by Forest River 17MPH bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
