Per VINdown's modeling, the Northstar 8 5 Arrow U 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 8 5 Arrow U sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $38,725 it falls to around $26,720 by year five — a five-year loss near $12,005, about $6.58 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Northstar 8 5 Arrow U bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
