WOW. Much depends.
How long will a car last.
Fifth wheel trailers haven't been around as long as our TTS. They first showed up around local campgrounds in the early '70s era and were small single and tandem axle units.
My first 5th wheel RV trailer was a (2 month old repo) 1984 26' Aljo by Skyline. WQe kept it for 8 years and sold it to a older couple who lived in the area where we lived at that time. The couple still have and use it.
TTs are no different and I see many '70s Nomads/Laytons/Holiday Ramblers/etc that were popular units in that era still being used.
