Starcraft 296BHS keeps an estimated 53% of its value after 5 years — #3356 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Starcraft 296BHS retains an estimated 53% of its value after five years, ranking #3356 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 2 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Starcraft 296BHS sheds about 15% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $63,780 it falls to around $33,930 by year five — a five-year loss near $29,850, about $16.36 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Starcraft 296BHS bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
