Recreation by Design 39AL keeps an estimated 55% of its value after 5 years — #2878 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Recreation by Design 39AL retains an estimated 55% of its value after five years, ranking #2878 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 39AL sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $84,260 it falls to around $46,343 by year five — a five-year loss near $37,917, about $20.78 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Recreation by Design 39AL bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
