Recreation by Design 44 FB keeps an estimated 60% of its value after 5 years — #1889 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Recreation by Design 44 FB retains an estimated 60% of its value after five years, ranking #1889 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 44 FB sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $114,660 it falls to around $69,139 by year five — a five-year loss near $45,521, about $24.94 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Recreation by Design 44 FB bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
