I am by no means an expert with regard to the value retention of a motorhome or what you may expect to get back in a few years if you decide to sell, but basically, Winnebago motorhomes are high quality and probably receive top price on trade-in or sale. The key factors are the condition of the coach, whether or not the tires are new (by year stamp on the tire and not by visual inspection only) and the mileage on the coach. In your case you are dealing with 2 motorhomes, one which is 3 years newer than the other. Additionally, the older coach is smaller and shorter and was probably much cheaper when first pruchased. Mileage above 50,000 miles on a gas coach typically lowers the trade and resale value as well. You definately will NOT make money on a resale, and may recover a lot more if plan to trade up later on to a larger coach. GOOD LUCK with your choice.
