Is Your RV Model Older Than 10 Years?

This last February, my 2015 Winnebago Minnie Winnie 22R hit the ten-year mark. 

It seems like only yesterday that I bought it at La Mesa RV in San Diego. I flew to San Diego from LAX and the dealer picked me up from the airport. After getting the paperwork and insurance matters done, I drove it home to Tarzana, California. Along the way, I stopped in Mission Viejo to pay a visit to my Aunt Rose. I am glad I did for she passed away a year later.

To date, it has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. 

RV Travel has posted a poll asking readers if their RVs are ten years old (or older).

They begin with:

Can you believe 10 years ago it was 2015? Oh, how young, sweet, and innocent the world was back then… Sigh…

Anyway, is your RV a model year 2015? If so, that makes it 10 years old this year! Is it a model older than 2015 or one that’s newer?

A lot can change in a decade—technology, road conditions, campground reservations, even the definition of “boondocking” seems to keep evolving. But for many RVers, a well-maintained rig from 2015 might still feel just right. Some even say RVs from a decade ago were built sturdier than some of today’s models—do you agree?
