Per VINdown's modeling, the Forest River California Oregon 242SLC retains an estimated 65% of its value after five years, ranking #1324 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That is 10 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 Forest River California Oregon 242SLC sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $64,906 it falls to around $42,123 by year five — a five-year loss near $22,783, about $12.48 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Forest River California Oregon 242SLC bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
