I had that vintage Dutchman 5er. Biggest POS I have ever owned. Sold it after 2 years.
We had trouble with everything from components to the frame. The worst issues were the shackles that hold the axle to the frame both had bad welds. Aluminum siding separated from the trailer. Twice.
Bad seals on the windows. Wiring on the furnace failed. Floor under the shower had to be replaced. I know I am forgetting (or more likely blocking out) many other issues.
