What are some high mileage pull units on here?

Neighbor at park said he has close to 160,000 on his trailer. It's an 2005. They visit their family in CT twice a year from west coast. Then they meanderer back to west coast and parts in between. I thought he was pulling my leg, then his wife said basically the same thing. They got their truck couple years before retirement and had 20,000 on the truck before they retired. Then hit the road. Traded in old truck with 180,000 on it. So trailer has close to 160,000. They think maybe 140,000 because of disconnecting trailer and doing grocery trips etc. Does bearings every other year. They run Tires ST but they replace every 3 years and has had 4 blowouts. Replaced 3 hitch balls and 2 ball mounts and one WDH hitch set up and one receiver hitch on vehicle. Suspension underneath not touched but had metal bushing kit put in when their warranty ran out. On their 3rd awning, 4th water pump.

They go over unit twice a year with fine tooth comb. And get on anything that needs attention. By no means does unit look perfect but certainly doesn't look like 160,000 miles on it.

Hope my 2013 that is eight years newer lasts 1/2 as long.

What is the biggest mileage you've seen?
