On average, I've had my trailers a lot less years than 6 before getting rid of them, but it had nothing to do with the "six year rule". They were all used, plus we figured out those particular floor plans just didn't fit the bill for us.
However, that has changed. In June of last year, we got a brand new Jayco 23RB. We finally found one that has enough storage inside, that has both a sofa and dinette, is large enough inside for the two of us, but not too large that I need a .75 or 1 ton truck. And as an additional plus (for me), it doesn't have a slide.
At 70, retired, and with this trailer checking so many boxes for us, I do anticipate this to be the last RV that we ever own, and I'm hoping that I have a number of years left to do this RV thing.
