Crusader 28 RL Travel Trailer Depreciation & Resale Value

Crusader 28 RL keeps an estimated 45% of its value after 5 years — #5169 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Crusader 28 RL retains an estimated 45% of its value after five years, ranking #5169 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 10 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Crusader 28 RL sheds about 14% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $61,840 it falls to around $27,580 by year five — a five-year loss near $34,260, about $18.77 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Crusader 28 RL bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
