And it's not just trailers....cars, trucks etc.
I don't know about today's trailers (we had a 1978 Wilderness until about 2005), but cars and trucks today last FAR longer than they did in the 1960's and 1970's. Back then, if you got 10 years or 100K miles out of a car you were lucky. They would often rust out in only about 7 years. Today, 250k is not unusual. We have 3 vehicles, 1 is 10 years old and two are 12 years old. Very little rust, and our tow vehicle still going at 12 years old.

When your car started sniffing 70,000 miles it was most definitely the time to get rid of it because you knew the fuel pump, water pump, etc where going to go out as sure as the sun shines and the rust holes would start opening.
Certainly not like that today at all. Bodies don't rust, over 100K commonplace. We might still not like the car manufacturer's but those of us who have been around for awhile DO see the difference. And ya, the cost of a car is waay different too! If I go on any longer I'll start sounding like my Dad about the good ole days when it comes to what stuff used to cost!!!:B:B
