Gulf Stream 257RB keeps an estimated 47% of its value after 5 years — #4804 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Gulf Stream 257RB retains an estimated 47% of its value after five years, ranking #4804 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 8 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Gulf Stream 257RB sheds about 19% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $33,354 it falls to around $21,233 by year five — a five-year loss near $12,121, about $6.64 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Gulf Stream 257RB bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
