Gulf Stream 235RB keeps an estimated 46% of its value after 5 years — #5175 of 5948 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Gulf Stream 235RB retains an estimated 46% of its value after five years, ranking #5175 of 5948 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 9 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Gulf Stream 235RB sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $33,516 it falls to around $15,551 by year five — a five-year loss near $17,965, about $9.84 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Gulf Stream 235RB bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
