To summarize an answer to the original question:

There is no "Deprecation Rate" for fiberglass trailers beyond the first two years and, depending on current supply and wait time, even that can be zero.

Two years ago, in September no less, we sold a then 10 y.o. 13' Scamp w/bath for $10k. Albeit somewhat updated, that's wasn't all that far from the price of a new one at the time.

Variables on SCAMP pricing will always include:

1. Condition
2. Age (but only slightly)
3. Condition
4. Time of year
5. Condition
6. Location
7. Condition
8. Local Demand
9. Condition
10. Upgrades
11. Condition
12. How quickly the seller wants to sell
13. Condition
14. How bad the buyer wants to buy.

Easy Peasy????

With my 2000 Scamp 16 I bought new, I just did straight-line depreciation over 10 years. On my personal balance sheet it has no value now. Clearly, it does have value; what that value is is not very certain.

A 1991 16ft Scamp should bring $7000 to $8000 depending on condition.
