Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

How long will an RV last
Permalink  

So as I read many entries, there are many of you that have bought a 5'ver long before you fulltimed.  That said, what is the average life of a 5ver and does anyone plan on having to buy another one while on the road. 
We are looking at replacing our TT becuase we figure if we have to get one payed off before we get on the road we might as well be paying for the one that we are going to be living in.  We can't afford a new one and will be looking for used ones.  I just want to make sure we don't buy to old. 
Anyway we are going to start to look for one because who know when you will come across a great deal or find one with the it factor!!

This Question is hard to answer, the main factors involved in determining the longevity of an RV would be quality, as in manufacturer, and maintenance. Bottom line IMO, if you take the time, do the research, and purchase a quality unit----follow that up with a strict maintenance schedule, i see no reason not to purchase early if a good deal presents itself, i am.

It will pretty much last as long as you want it to. All the components can be replaced. I think you could bank on 12-15 years but even then you could keep it going.
