Hello All,
We are in the market for a Newell in the 2000 plus or minus a few years.  We had looked at the Wanderlodge and Prevost in the same year range.  Seems like the bags and various rubber components had a life cycle of around 15 to 18 years....after that you're on borrowed time.

My question for all you Newell Gurrus concerns the rubber components, sans the tires.  What kind of typical life cycle are you all seeing in the following list of items?

• Air Bags
  
• Brake Chambers
  
• Heater hoses
  
• Radiator hoses
  
• Hydraulic hoses
  
• Slide seals
  
• Engine Belts
  
• Window Seals
  

Those are what I can think of off the top of my head, I am sure there are others and if there is something else that would need to be addressed as a reliability improvement feel free to chime in.

Thanks
Steve
