Per VINdown's modeling, the Palomino By Forest River 38RLB retains an estimated 48% of its value after five years, ranking #4933 of 5948 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 7 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Palomino By Forest River 38RLB sheds about 17% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $67,989 it falls to around $32,430 by year five — a five-year loss near $35,559, about $19.48 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Palomino By Forest River 38RLB bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
