We just ran I to a problem with our 5th and to our great surprise the insurance, RV company, and dealer were all shocked we were shocked I did not think it was that old. One question I was asked we how long do I feel an RV should last. I am interested what the thoughts are and how old your rigs are.

What was the issue and what is the age and make of your rig.

Yeah, kind of left us hanging as far as what type of 5er OP has, how old and what was the issue.

Mine is 7 yrs old now and still in excellent condition..

Believe a lot of it depends on how well it was built, quality that went into the building of the unit....

Ours is also 7 years old, and still in great shape.
Our 1st was 21 years old when we bought it cheap, as the back 1/3 of the floor was shot. I was able to repair, and we got three great years out of it before selling for a bigger unit.

I expect this one to get to that age also, but if it gets and real damage the cost of labor will kill you on a repair.
