Most of the loss lands early: the Rockwood by Forest River 296 HW sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $31,626 it falls to around $20,683 by year five — a five-year loss near $10,943, about $6.00 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Rockwood by Forest River 296 HW bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
