There isn’t much of an RV depreciation difference between a one year old and a two year old unit. Maybe because they still smell new at this point.

How long has Mr X been an RV dealer?
The salesmen and dealers had stonewalled me. So I realized I needed to find someone who knew the dealer game, but who didn’t care if he revealed its secrets. This seemed impossible. Then I heard about “Mr. X” (I’m keeping his name anonymous, for obvious reasons). He’s been in the RV industry for 35 years, most recently for 13 years as a dealer.
