this will be our first fifth wheel...only other camper we have had was a small pop up (I grew up camping and travelling around the country when younger in a Class A though). I would think we would keep it longer than 5 years...I can only see moving to a diesel pusher A in the future, but that would be several years out (as right now I couldnt justify the cost vs how much we would use it with 4 and 7 year old boys in school, etc). Apparently I never gave much thought to the decals shrinking, fading, etc in the sun...Boats dont seem to have this issue, then again our boat was not out in the sun 365 days a year
