What is the lifespan of an RV?
1 Answers
Small and mini self-propelled RVs have no usage time limit, while large and medium-sized self-propelled RVs have a lifespan of 20 years, and semi-trailer RVs have a lifespan of 15 years. Here are the specific details: RV scrapping regulations: Since September 1, 2018, cross-provincial inspections for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses have been fully implemented, achieving nationwide "universal inspection." Self-propelled RVs under 6 meters require inspection every two years within the first six years, and then annually after six years. After 15 years, inspections are required every six months. Vehicles must be inspected within three months before the expiration date, with no mandatory scrapping age, as long as the chassis's technical parameters are not altered and the annual inspection passes. The mandatory scrapping age for towable RVs is 15 years. RV lifespan: For those who travel frequently, prolonged use of an RV will inevitably lead to wear and tear on many parts. However, for those who rarely use their RVs, prolonged inactivity can also cause deterioration. Nevertheless, if the RV is of high quality and properly maintained, its lifespan can be significantly extended. Therefore, the lifespan of an RV varies from person to person.
