Unless it's completely beat to heck, the YEARS in a MH are not as critical as the service and maintenance. A 5 or 6 year old coach that's been sitting on a front lawn and only has 4K miles is probably suspect a lot more than a 12 year old unit that's been maintained correctly and has 80K miles.
and exactly what is the problem with mostly sitting in the front lawn? and how is this different from sitting in a campground?

When it's a lawn ornament, the systems inside get no use. That is not good for them. Generators, water pumps, water lines, etc all do better when they're used for their intended purpose. And why buy a MOTOR home if it's sitting in a CG for several months a year? Nothing is worse for a MACHINE than inactivity. A properly maintained, decently built MACHINE can last a very long time. Same machine sitting around getting rusty will fall apart in no time.
