IMHO, anyone wanting to buy a new one after only two or three years ownership is pouring money down the depreciation drain. It's the same as for cars and trucks. Even at 4 - 5 years, you're putting an awful lot down it. I've owned eight RV/trailers and never let go of any in less than four years (that one was because we had outgrown it with kids). What I've experienced is that it takes at least a couple of years to get a unit tweaked to where I'm happy with it, and then I want a few years to enjoy it. Only reason in my mind to sell or trade is if there's a major problem that I don't care to try fixing or I'm certain I won't be using it for several years. And from what everyone's posted, that RV salesperson's story is just another myth - only one of you said you did that, a few were at 4 - 5, and everyone else was way past it.
