How long have you had your current RV?
I was watching videos today on RV buying. One interesting comment was "the average person keeps their RV for 2.5 years." Struck me as kind of odd since we had our for 10+ years before a hurricane de...

Guess I'll chime in, we've had 6 RV's since 1998. Mostly because of changes in lifestyle.
We were married in 96 and tented for 2 years. 1998 we bought a very barebones popup, had it for a year and wife wanted a change. only a 6' box.
1999 we had a popup with a pullout, I thought it was great. 10' box meant more room for us and the kids. Took really good care of that and sold it for almost exactly what we paid for it.
I think in 2003 we decided a hardsided was better - wife was complaining she couldn't sleep well in the popup and late fall camping was using a lot of propane. Bought a Rockwood 2605.
2006 - after having the Rockwood demolished in an accident, we purchased a Wildwood 29FKSS. Liked that model too, worked well for us until 2008 when we decided to tow less and put that in our seasonal lot.
in 2010, we bought a Dutchmen 40 RLP. Worked well at our seasonal campground, but the bedroom was in the front. Another negative was that the plow passing in front of the camper would occasionally throw rocks up and ding the camper. When the front window was broken by a rock, wife had enough and started looking for another one.
Our current "RV" is a park model from 2015 but I've been itching to explore again. We're going to be keeping the park model for some time.
