Gulf Stream 218MB keeps an estimated 49% of its value after 5 years — #4441 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Gulf Stream 218MB retains an estimated 49% of its value after five years, ranking #4441 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Gulf Stream 218MB sheds about 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $30,037 it falls to around $14,718 by year five — a five-year loss near $15,319, about $8.39 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Gulf Stream 218MB bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
