Per VINdown's modeling, the Cherokee by Forest River 18TO retains an estimated 52% of its value after five years, ranking #3731 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 18TO sheds about 14% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $35,065 it falls to around $18,093 by year five — a five-year loss near $16,972, about $9.30 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Cherokee by Forest River 18TO bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
