Most of the loss lands early: the Cherokee By Forest River 20RDSE sheds about 28% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $38,683 it falls to around $20,618 by year five — a five-year loss near $18,065, about $9.90 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Cherokee By Forest River 20RDSE bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
