Per VINdown's modeling, the Flagstaff by Forest River 228BHSE retains an estimated 61% of its value after five years, ranking #1840 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That is 6 points above the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Flagstaff by Forest River 228BHSE sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $25,466 it falls to around $15,432 by year five — a five-year loss near $10,034, about $5.50 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Flagstaff by Forest River 228BHSE bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
