Then what else should be replaced on the RV that is still working, just in case it fails? Fridge? Heaters? Water Heater? Engine? Tranny? Tires? Okay, I did do the tires based on age and not tread wear, but that's a big safety issue.
As a former National RV owner, I'd say you have a good start on a replacement list.;)
But none of the things on the list are made by National RV! Good thing since they are gone now. But on a serious note, I have had surprisingly good luck with my National RV. Other than some huge issues getting the original punch list items fixed, I haven't had anything break on this thing that I couldn't pretty easily fix myself, with the exception of the King Dome satellite. That thing was a piece of junk, but not made by National either. And I wanted an HD dish anyway.
Right now I'm in the process of replacing all the plastic parts on the roof because they are all cracking or have already cracked and fallen off. After a $1500 estimate from the dealer to replace everything and reseal the roof, I decided it was something I could do myself.
