Why Your RV Just Lost 60% Of Its Worth (And It’s Getting WORSE)

Open a 2025 NADA guide and you'll find 2022 travel trailers valued at 40-60% below original MSRP—this isn't normal depreciation, it's structural collapse engineered by corporate greed. Thor Industries and Forest River flooded the market during COVID, building RVs with thinner fiberglass that delaminates within 18-36 months, underbuilt Lippert frames that flex and crack on highways, and slide-outs with OSB floors that rot from water intrusion requiring $10,000+ repairs. Warranties are designed as countdown timers, expiring right before catastrophic failures appear in year two or three, while "different" brands like Keystone, Dutchmen, and Heartland are just badge-engineered copies rolling off the same defective production lines. The market imploded because manufacturers doubled production without an exit strategy—dealers are now stuck with unsold inventory while used prices cratered by 30-50% in a single model year because nobody wants a two-year-old RV when new ones cost the same after fire-sale incentives. The only RVs holding value are pre-2019 units built before the production frenzy and molded fiberglass trailers with no seams, because buying new means financing their mistakes with your inevitable trade-in loss.
