Salem by Forest River 170SS keeps an estimated 49% of its value after 5 years — #4352 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Salem by Forest River 170SS retains an estimated 49% of its value after five years, ranking #4352 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Salem by Forest River 170SS sheds about 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $32,542 it falls to around $16,075 by year five — a five-year loss near $16,467, about $9.02 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Salem by Forest River 170SS bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
