Most of the loss lands early: the Jayco 166 FBS sheds about 28% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $44,092 it falls to around $21,913 by year five — a five-year loss near $22,179, about $12.15 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Jayco 166 FBS bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
