how long do you keep

I like to keep them until they are basically worn out, first one was 15 years and I plan on expiring before this one is worn out.

Couple tricks to longevity, Most important seal maintenance. Secondly is off season storage. I always keep mine inside in my barn out of the weather. In fact it's inside all the time except when I'm not using it.

You let any RV sit outside in the elements, especially up here in the snow and it's dying a slow death.

We aren't into fancy at all. With RV's fancy equates to issues.

Economics Watson economics. Just like a car, when the cost of maintenance outstrip the benefits of not having a monthly amortization, it's maybe time for a replacement -- or an upgrade.

Or, living ahead of the Joneses down the street.

We kept the 5 TT's over 20 years we've owned as long as we could....

...problem was, when our family grew we'd get a bigger one.

Then, once or twice, we "traded up" to a newer fancier model.

In the end, your better off just enjoying what you have and keeping it going. 10 years sounds about right.

We just picked up a Class C motorhome, our first, after those TT's and one TC. We hope to hit at least 10 if not 15 years in her.

I've had my TT for 6 years. I take it out about 5 or 6 times a year, keep it covered in the winter, and it's still in great shape. I'm in the process of upgrading to a new TT just because I'm looking for something a little bigger. Prior to that we had a pop-up for 5 years.
