Jayco 28 RL keeps an estimated 51% of its value after 5 years — #3852 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Jayco 28 RL retains an estimated 51% of its value after five years, ranking #3852 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Jayco 28 RL sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $51,595 it falls to around $26,416 by year five — a five-year loss near $25,179, about $13.80 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Jayco 28 RL bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
