Per VINdown's modeling, the Merhow 8M1038 retains an estimated 53% of its value after five years, ranking #3426 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 2 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Merhow 8M1038 sheds about 30% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $95,693 it falls to around $50,621 by year five — a five-year loss near $45,072, about $24.70 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Merhow 8M1038 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
