If you are still here..
Perhaps a few other thoughts that you NEED to read and understand..
No matter how much a RV costs, they ALL will rot at the same rate if YOU fail to do routine maintenance.. From a $10K pop up to a $60K "5ver" they all can and will suffer from water damage IF you don't check and replace the caulking on a yearly basis..
That means you NEED to get up on the roof, visually check all the caulking, you need to check the corners of the side walls to make sure the caulking is OK, you will need to check around windows and doors and such..
You NEED to be proactive..
Keeping water out can make even the cheapest poorly build piece of junk last longer than the most expensive "high quality" brand that isn't maintained..
