Age Limit on Used RV?

[Darian]

So I'm looking at a trailer (either fifth wheel or travel) that is affordable - and, by extension, used. I see some great looking trailers that I could outright pay for, however they are anywhere between 2004 and 2014...

Obviously, a 2004 trailer would be 12 years old - how old is too old? I'm okay with replacing some things and plan to do some "remodeling" (aka, paint, maybe floor... do some DIY upholstery changes...) but I do NOT want a junker or something that has to have important things like piping, wiring redone.

I've been watching a lot of "what to look fors" when rv shopping and definitely will be checking, but is there a point where a trailer is just "too old"? Or is it well and dandy to get one that's been broken in?

I would be more concerned about condition than age. Keep looking, there are plenty of good deals available.

X2 its how it was cared for.

IMO, there is no "too old". Of course, there IS junky or good condition.
If the trailer is in good shape, and everything works as it is supposed to, and the tires are not over 6 years old, and the title is good and clear, I would not care if it was a 1960 model!

Too old is one that has leaked or has evidence of water damage. That can be 12+ years or 6 months.
