Lance 850 keeps an estimated 48% of its value after 5 years — #4596 of 5759 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Lance 850 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 850 sheds about 18% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $48,520 it falls to around $23,532 by year five — a five-year loss near $24,988, about $13.69 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Lance 850 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
