Per VINdown's modeling, the Gulf Stream 288ISL retains an estimated 48% of its value after five years, ranking #4608 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 7 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Gulf Stream 288ISL sheds about 40% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $59,710 it falls to around $28,839 by year five — a five-year loss near $30,871, about $16.92 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Gulf Stream 288ISL bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
