Gulf Stream 279BH keeps an estimated 46% of its value after 5 years — #4961 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Gulf Stream 279BH retains an estimated 46% of its value after five years, ranking #4961 of 5706 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 279BH sheds about 19% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $35,204 it falls to around $21,985 by year five — a five-year loss near $13,219, about $7.24 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Gulf Stream 279BH bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
