Yes, so you can stop worrying.
Read your manual for care and maintenance of your roof and siding. The roof is the key to longevity. Not all trailers are the same so don't take all the advice you'll get from other trailer owners as gospel.
Water is your enemy whether it comes from the outside - cracked caulking, tree damage, etc. or from the inside - plumbing problems.
Proper maintenace (per manufacturer's instruction, not Uncle Bob's) and periodic inspections will keep that unit in your family for as log as you want.
One word of caution: You may not be putting a lot of road miles on the trailer but lubricants break down over time. Rely on the manufacturer's time table for bearing maintenance, not miles.
Have fun and rest easy,
