Admittedly , I am a newbie at this RV'ing thing. We have only had our trailer 4 years. I am guessing that we have traveled approximately 10k miles and 100 nights.
The only problem we have had is a roofing staple in the trailers tire,and I caught that while we were set up so it was a simple change.
Before each outing even if its only a weekend I test all the systems and do the daily PM. Maybe by being alert and familiar with my rig means that I do not allow things to become problems.
This is not rocket science and while our rigs may not be of Space Shuttle quality, they certainly are not junk either!
I will concede the OP's point that if I was just looking into this lifestyle,I would be awfully discouraged reading these boards. Not only from the litany of equipment problems presented, but also the miserable, mean, dictatorial know it alls, that if this board is representative of, make up the Rv'ng population
