Gulf Stream 280TB keeps an estimated 46% of its value after 5 years — #4992 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Gulf Stream 280TB retains an estimated 46% of its value after five years, ranking #4992 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 280TB sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $36,589 it falls to around $16,904 by year five — a five-year loss near $19,685, about $10.79 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Gulf Stream 280TB bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
