Jayco 245 RLS keeps an estimated 49% of its value after 5 years — #4673 of 5948 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Jayco 245 RLS retains an estimated 49% of its value after five years, ranking #4673 of 5948 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Jayco 245 RLS sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $31,493 it falls to around $15,400 by year five — a five-year loss near $16,093, about $8.82 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Jayco 245 RLS bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
