    Mine is 12 years old and I have been to the south of France this year and intend going to Italy next year. I think once properly maintained they can go on for a long time. The habitation areas of older vans seem better built and more robust than many newer vans.

    I maintain a '94 Hymer for a local couple , and they travel over and back to the UK regularly in it , nary a problem .

    It's all about regular maintenance.

    The first one we had was a 1969 dodge was still going strong a couple of years ago. The second one was a 1978 merc 307 and a guy lives in it now he passed us twice last summer once in macroom and once in sligo.

    Was that an american Dodge, I'd like to see a photo if you have one.
    Mine is a a 1979 Chevy, anything after 1990 is a new vehicle in my book!
