Starcraft 188BHS keeps an estimated 59% of its value after 5 years — #2303 of 5948 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Starcraft 188BHS retains an estimated 59% of its value after five years, ranking #2303 of 5948 RVs & trailers we track. That is 4 points above the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Starcraft 188BHS sheds about 22% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $32,161 it falls to around $19,007 by year five — a five-year loss near $13,154, about $7.21 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Starcraft 188BHS bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
