Dick and Joyce,

Thank you for your input. I would agree that after getting your rig set up just as you want it, why replace it! I am just trying to get an idea about how other people do replace the rig when the need arises.

Mike and Lorraine,

I notice that you have purchased (4) 5th wheels since 2002. Do you always buy new rigs or have you purchased used models as well?

We buy new but use the same dealership. Return buyers with rigs in excellent condition get treated well. From 2002 to 2007 we were full timers and since then we spend six months in Florida each winter and use that heavy usage to rightly or wrongly rationalize our purchases. If you take care of a unit it will last a long time. We had a 1984 Layton tag along we bought used in 1985 and kept it until 1999 and it was still in good condition.
