I am amazed at the number of folks that buy these RVs and expect them to be built like tanks. Your buying something that is up to 40' long and can be towed by a pickup at highway speed! It has to be built light and it is going to take some serious abuse. That is a recipe for structural issues and is universal across the industry is it not? With all that going against them, I really don't see any more issues on these units than you would have with a stick and brick home. And since a 5th wheel doesn't cost much more than your tow vehicle, you shouldn't expect it to last much longer but I have seen many that with proper care do!


I had a guy tell me one time "don't buy an RV unless your a carpenter/mechanic/welder/plumber/electrician all rolled into one". I think he was right!!
