Life expectancy for RV components ?
I am trying to get a handle on how long things like RV refrigerators, furnaces, water heaters, ac units and the like last. I realize that years are not created equal. Some of us use our units a lot...

Almost impossible to answer, maintenance, usage, are the primary factors. You see mentioned on forums WH's, Fridge, furnace water pumps, AC's, etc that have lasted many years. Is there a reason for the question?

My only reason for asking is because our 5er is in it's 7th season of pretty regular use. We do a long ( 6 or 7 week ) trip each year plus several 1 or 2 week trips each year.
We have about 60k miles of towing and so far re-bushed the suspension and put new tires on it. The inverter went and was replaced under warranty. Other than it is original.
I am not trying to plot a reliability curve or anything like that. Just looking for a general feel for how long these can last if not abused.
Basically looking to see how long I should drag my feet while DW looks at new ones .......
Oops....Forgot about the wheel with hairline crack.
