Idle Time 8X40 FL keeps an estimated 79% of its value after 5 years — #450 of 5759 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Idle Time 8X40 FL retains an estimated 79% of its value after five years, ranking #450 of 5759 RVs & trailers we track. That is 24 points above the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Idle Time 8X40 FL sheds about 5% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $30,375 it falls to around $23,874 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,501, about $3.56 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Idle Time 8X40 FL bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
