Recreation by Design 37 AL keeps an estimated 60% of its value after 5 years — #1960 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Recreation by Design 37 AL retains an estimated 60% of its value after five years, ranking #1960 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That is 5 points above the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Recreation by Design 37 AL sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $77,430 it falls to around $46,380 by year five — a five-year loss near $31,050, about $17.01 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Recreation by Design 37 AL bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
