Why Smart Americans are Buying 20 Year Old RVs | The Secret Exposed

Описание: Why Smart Americans are Buying 20 Year Old RVs | The Secret Exposed
New RVs lose 20–30% of their value the day you drive off the lot. By year three, the average motorhome has lost nearly half its purchase price — while you're still paying interest on the loan. Meanwhile, one major manufacturer issued more safety recalls than General Motors and Ford combined over the past decade. Nearly half of those recalls traced back to assembly errors, not defective parts.
A smaller group of buyers figured out the alternative: 20-year-old RVs selling for $15,000–$25,000 that have already hit their depreciation floor — meaning you can buy, use, and resell for roughly what you paid. This video breaks down exactly how that works, why modern RV quality declined, and how to buy an older rig without inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance nightmare.
