For a new 5th wheel (or TT) can I expect to get 10 - 15 years from it? We will not be full-timing, just using it for weekend getaways and the week long vacation 1 or 2 times a year. I plan on keeping it under a cover when not in use, and staying on top of maintenance items such as roof and axles. I realize there will probably be some initial warranty work in the first year, but after that is done, can I reasonably expect my RV to last a while? Looking around Facebook and Craigslist, I see a lot of 10 - 15 year old RV's for sale, that look like junk now.
10-15 years is easy...IF you keep up with maintenance and not let the little things go unchecked. we've kept our two previous motorhomes 15-years each and made the change not because they were run down but because we just wanted something new.
