Starcraft 18QB keeps an estimated 80% of its value after 5 years — #352 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 18QB retains an estimated 80% of its value after five years, ranking #352 of 5948 RVs & trailers we track. That is 25 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 18QB sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $17,211 it falls to around $13,768 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,443, about $1.89 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Starcraft 18QB bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
