I have been on this forum for the last 9 months but I don't believe I have seen this question. I purchased a used 2006 5th wheel. It has had relatively few problems and I intend to keep it serviced as needed, but how long can I reasonably expect it to last. I have seen several campgrounds that will not allow anything older than ten years old in without an inspection.
our current MH is in it's 13th season and we kept it's predecessor for 14-seasons. if you take care of them...and that includes paying attention to the little things...they'll last quite a long time. as for the 10-year rule...while we have heard of it we have not yet run across it. I suspect it's a tool some parks use to keep the really beat up RVs out. and if we ever do run afoul of the 10-year rule, well, there's always another park down the road. enjoy your 5er and worry not.
