Per VINdown's modeling, the Lance 1172 retains an estimated 48% of its value after five years, ranking #4596 of 5759 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 Lance 1172 sheds about 18% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $66,941 it falls to around $32,466 by year five — a five-year loss near $34,475, about $18.89 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Lance 1172 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
