Northstar 12STC keeps an estimated 69% of its value after 5 years — #998 of 5948 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Northstar 12STC retains an estimated 69% of its value after five years, ranking #998 of 5948 RVs & trailers we track. That is 7 points above the 62% five-year average for Truck Camper in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Northstar 12STC sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $46,995 it falls to around $32,426 by year five — a five-year loss near $14,569, about $7.98 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Northstar 12STC bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
