LOL I have a 1995 Bigfoot 9.6t..It looks great..no problems has outlived all my friends stick built TC's.... I would not take 10k for it

And I have a 1990 Lance that has never leaked..Point is..Maintenance..It gets confusing on the internet,one guys say's 23 leaks and counting on a Northern Lite and others say Arctic Fox's are known for delamination... But I don't here a bunch of Lance bashing other than the wing issue...

You get what you pay for in advice here but the bottom line is for any RV is,Maintenance...

This might be psychological issue.
When you like the camper, you will put money in it, protect it and several Lance rebuilds you can find on Lance forum proves that.
Same with Avion on this forum, or Reddog's camper.
When you don't like the camper to start with, you tend to neglect the maintenance and than bash the build.
Fiberglass not protected from sun UV will chalk over the time. So if you don't protect it, it will look bad.
Than if you keep it covered, it might last for years.
It is the same with car paint. I like my cars to look good and living in high UV climates I go long way to keep them in shade.
So my 10-15 years old cars still shine and present.
Than I see the same cars park on driveways, where 7 years old clear coat is curling.
