how long do you keep

what is the average time you keep your rv (any type) before you replace it?

If I have a MH that I really like, I keep it until the wheels fall off or the engine blows up. Neither of which have ever happened no matter how long I've kept one. :W

IMHO, JMHO in my experience the older ones are all around 'built better', henceforth they 'last longer'.

After reading SO many posts with owners being very dissatisfied about quality etc on brand new RV's, and the repairs needed right after the warrant expires, I am very hesitant to buy a new one, just because I can.

And basically every time I do go look at the new models, it is very obvious that the quality is just not there anymore.

Thankfully I am able to pay cash for my MH's. I can't even fathom a family having to pay high monthly payments on their RV AND then also have to pay for constant repairs on a newer RV. Just saying.
