Most RVs are not built to be lived in full time.
Read about what RVs people use that full time and how often they change them out.
We full timed for 3 years in a coach that we bought used, when it was 6 years old. It has held up pretty well.
Outside of stupid mistakes, we have had to replace one A/C and our pleather is starting to peel (it is now 11 years old).
Stupid mistakes include bending a leveling jack, repairing a little woodwork damage from a slide that was caused by our not knowing proper operation.
There is maintenance that I haven’t included such as tires, slide adjustments, caulking shower, vent tops replaced, annual cleaning of oasis, usual oil changes and lubes, etc.
We have a 2014 SuperC made by Renegade. No fancy electronic controls to fail.
Look at what brands and what specific model lines full timers use. There is a big difference in build quality between brands and even in a brand the model lines.
