Just my opinion, top-of-the-line 2009-2010 units, and even before, are made of higher-end materials and will not fall apart even after 20 yrs. if maintained and properly cared for. ALL RV's will need work from time to time, it's just the nature of the beast.
Around 2007-2008, lighter flat screen TV's were installed. The age related replacements will be (maybe) dual powered fridges (residential is best and cheaper), roof maintenance, awning covers/fabrics, etc. And, tire date codes are crucial to check.... about every 7 yrs. they will need to be replaced or inspected, 10 years max according to some people. The 7 yr. mark works for me.
Batteries last about 5-7 yrs. AGM's are best and a lot less maintenance and worth the price just for that reason alone.
