Gulf Stream 198BH keeps an estimated 48% of its value after 5 years — #4572 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Gulf Stream 198BH retains an estimated 48% of its value after five years, ranking #4572 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 7 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Gulf Stream 198BH sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $18,557 it falls to around $9,000 by year five — a five-year loss near $9,557, about $5.24 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Gulf Stream 198BH bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
