To get a camper to last 10 years require EXCEPTIONAL care of the exterior ! Storing under a roof is best or at least a god cover/tarp. Even with these precautions, you will still need to wash and treat the roof with a UV protectant at least once a year. If stored with no protection, you should wash and treat it TWICE a year.
I don't buy expensive campers, park them outside without cover, and have never once washed or treated the exterior of one. I kept the first for 9 years, the second for 8. This one is now 3 years old and I expect to keep it for 10. This one still looks pretty darn good (aside from dents from rocks, aluminum seems to retain it's good appearance better than my previous laminated one did).
I don't really expect a 10 year old trailer to look new though. :)
