Recreation by Design 46AL keeps an estimated 56% of its value after 5 years — #2779 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Recreation by Design 46AL retains an estimated 56% of its value after five years, ranking #2779 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 46AL sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $97,995 it falls to around $54,387 by year five — a five-year loss near $43,608, about $23.89 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Recreation by Design 46AL bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
