Most of the loss lands early: the Salem by Forest River 42FLDL sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $77,206 it falls to around $53,039 by year five — a five-year loss near $24,167, about $13.24 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Salem by Forest River 42FLDL bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
