Most of the loss lands early: the Viking by Forest River 2485SST sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $29,268 it falls to around $18,058 by year five — a five-year loss near $11,210, about $6.14 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Viking by Forest River 2485SST bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
