   I'll store it outside. No cover. I camp in middle of the road camp grounds with water and electric. No four-wheeling or luxury resorts either.
There are some trees that give it some shade. No dogs. Just me, my wife, and 2 1/2 yr old boy. Non-smoker. I will go about 20 times/yr. Average of 1-3 nights per trip.

	No way to answer truthfully. They have not been out long enough to have a comparison point. I have seen TT's that are 2 years old and ruined, and TT's that are 30-40-50 years old that are in perfect shape. But that is because over the years somebody repaired anything that went wrong and cared for them. There is no reason to think it won't last a long time if you take care of it, but, taking care of anything is relative.. What I think is "taking care" of stuff is different than my baby brothers. My "stuff" lasts longer. Going to cover it? Store it inside? Do you have kids? Dogs? Are you going to camp in small off road campgrounds, or only in big resort types with good roads and utilities? 10 nights a year? or 100...?

	If I take good care of a brand new rpod, how long should it last me in Dallas, TX? I know it's a hard question but I'm curious if it'll last 5 yrs or 20 yrs.
