I also have an 03 Alpenlite 5er 3 slide that we have had for 8 years and in the 8 years the only thing I have had to replace are the tires and batteries. They are one of the best make RVs out there, but now we have an 06 Country Coach. We went to Camping World to to get some stuff today and looked at some new coaches and all I can say is I would not trade mine in on a new one. A few months ago we went down to CC to have the wet PTO installed and like Peralko said they are going to be starting up the end of this year or the first of the year with a new line but there service is open.
