Per VINdown's modeling, the Viking By Forest River 17FQS retains an estimated 44% of its value after five years, ranking #5458 of 5948 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 11 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Viking By Forest River 17FQS sheds about 14% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $31,105 it falls to around $13,655 by year five — a five-year loss near $17,450, about $9.56 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Viking By Forest River 17FQS bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
