Per VINdown's modeling, the Jayco 265 RLS retains an estimated 49% of its value after five years, ranking #4723 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 265 RLS sheds about 28% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $46,331 it falls to around $22,563 by year five — a five-year loss near $23,768, about $13.02 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Jayco 265 RLS bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
