I have 2 campers - both manufactured in 2001.
One come from wet state and regardless aluminium skeleton, I had to rebuild whole front and reinforce dryrot on the rear.
The other one spend its life in Arizona and the only issue was lack of caulking along slide awning, where water via screw holes enter the wood and that had to be replaced.
That beside some engineering weak points, that had to be reinforced.
Both campers are pretty clean and interior is holding way better than exterior.
I think they are good for another 20 years. The only issue are exterior decals fading on sun, but if you like the camper, the wrapping technology is amazing.
