Most of the loss lands early: the Salem By Forest River 369BL sheds about 27% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $96,141 it falls to around $46,051 by year five — a five-year loss near $50,090, about $27.45 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Salem By Forest River 369BL bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
