Per VINdown's modeling, the Coleman By Dutchmen 18FQ retains an estimated 50% of its value after five years, ranking #4280 of 5948 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 5 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Coleman By Dutchmen 18FQ sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $31,776 it falls to around $16,046 by year five — a five-year loss near $15,730, about $8.62 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Coleman By Dutchmen 18FQ bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
