Most of the loss lands early: the Viking By Forest River 21RD sheds about 7% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $20,257 it falls to around $13,369 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,888, about $3.77 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Viking By Forest River 21RD bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
