Cruiser RV 280 keeps an estimated 38% of its value after 5 years — #5597 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Cruiser RV 280 retains an estimated 38% of its value after five years, ranking #5597 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 17 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Cruiser RV 280 sheds about 16% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $61,600 it falls to around $23,346 by year five — a five-year loss near $38,254, about $20.96 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Cruiser RV 280 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
