Most of the loss lands early: the Wildwood by Forest River 280RT sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $43,699 it falls to around $23,947 by year five — a five-year loss near $19,752, about $10.82 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Wildwood by Forest River 280RT bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
