Way too many variables to answer questions #1 2 3 as all rv trailers aren't designed/fabricated the same or use the same materials from the axles up too the roof.
AS mentioned stopping water intrusion is the key for a long life rv trailer. And of course parking the trailer in a trailer shed keeps the sun from ruining outside appearance....drying out sealants.....aging exteriors.
My old '97 31' 10" 5th wheel rv trailer is 25 years old and has around 180k-190k miles on the chassis. Its been trailer shed kept when not used since I bought it when it was 3 months old (1st owner lost his business).
I do a roof check in the spring each year with close watch on any sealant cracking.... missing or cracked roof jacks and all other roof fixtures. I do a annual main frame/axles/suspension/brakes/bearing inspections and R/R.
The unit is good for a coast to coast voyage any time.
