Per VINdown's modeling, the Lance 1985 retains an estimated 56% of its value after five years, ranking #2914 of 5948 RVs & trailers we track. That is roughly in line with the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Lance 1985 sheds about 17% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $67,960 it falls to around $37,989 by year five — a five-year loss near $29,971, about $16.42 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Lance 1985 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
