Most of the loss lands early: the Palomino By Forest River 18FBC sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $19,520 it falls to around $14,034 by year five — a five-year loss near $5,486, about $3.01 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Palomino By Forest River 18FBC bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
