My trailer is 18 years old, with 17 2400 mile round trips to Florida from Michigan, several trips to Texas, and a couple to California plus many trips to nearby (less than 250 miles away) campgrounds and it is still going strong and used almost every weekend during the summer.
Although it no longer rolls down the road, maintenance is still job #1 on it. The roof was just recently redone and I have been almost anal about keeping it leak free during all those years. Even with the heavy use it has had, it still looks almost new - although the gel coat is starting to dull and needs a good cleaning or even possibly painting.
I believe any RV can last a long time if it is properly maintained and used. As mentioned earlier by others, it is not the travel that gets them it is usually water intrusion.
Good luck.:)
