Look at NADA.com. You should get a depreciation curve from the used RV section.

Got the below info from another site I beleive and it's on a Diesel Pusher, however; it may help or give you an idea.
Depreciation for a typical diesel pusher:
Year Depreciation
1 30%
2 10%
3 7%
4 6%
5 6%
6 5%
7 5%
8 4%
9 4%
10 3%
11 3%
12-20 2%/year
If you do the math, it will show you that at the 5-6 year mark the value declines to 50% of the purchase price. (Note that the purchase price is not the sticker price. Typical discounts for a new motorhome are reported to be 25-27% under MSRP.)

$80,000 sticker price or $80,000 purchase price? Not much drops faster than the first % of sticker.
There are 24 hours in every day - it all depends on how you choose to use them.

ballpark figure, if it's new depreciation = a lot
if it's a few years old depreciation = not so much.
The inital depreciation of almost any RV will take its major hit in the first 5 years. After that I think it depends on market and demand. JMO

This is the best advice. Much like cars, all motorhomes of the same price do not depreciate equally. Case in point. Nearly a year ago we looked at a loaded '08 Saturn Aura and a loaded '08 Honda Accord EXL. Both had selling prices of within $400 of each other -- both in the $24,000-range. Being a dealer I follow the market. At major dealer auctions (Manheim, Adesa), the Accords are wholesaling for in the $21,500-range, but the Auras are bringing in the $14,500-$15,000-range. Big difference for two vehicles that cost the same less than a year ago. Same goes for motorhomes. Buy a quality name motorhome with a good frequency-of-repair record, and one that's higher in demand on the resale market (because you will ultimately resell it). Not all $80,000 motorhomes are created equal! Good luck to you.
