Recreation by Design 35AL keeps an estimated 55% of its value after 5 years — #2971 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Recreation by Design 35AL retains an estimated 55% of its value after five years, ranking #2971 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That is roughly in line with the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Recreation by Design 35AL sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $77,490 it falls to around $42,309 by year five — a five-year loss near $35,181, about $19.28 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Recreation by Design 35AL bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
