Recreation by Design 139 keeps an estimated 50% of its value after 5 years — #4251 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Recreation by Design 139 retains an estimated 50% of its value after five years, ranking #4251 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 5 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Recreation by Design 139 sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $105,980 it falls to around $52,778 by year five — a five-year loss near $53,202, about $29.15 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Recreation by Design 139 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
