Broken slides....I'll never cable slides again.
Air conditioning....not cooling good enough
Shoddy parts and workmanship...things breaking too easily, not properly aligned, tub not caulked
Refrigerator....this one is current...not cooling on propane.
I've only had one blow out and the tires were junk. Nobody to blame but me. I spend more on good tires now.

Roof leak at transition from tin to rubber at the top front of the roof. Too much dependence of caulk in too many places. Poor frame spring hanger placement/axle alignment from new. Cheap oem tires. Unreliable tank sensors. Overall medeocre build quality/fit and finish.

Fifteen years, well over two thousand nights, two hundred fifty thousand truck miles, estimated well over 150,000 trailer miles, seldom more than three nights one spot. Yeah, we have had our share of problems.
Slide problems with two of the three, fridge problems, A/C problems, ATS relaced, charger replaced, inverter replaced, two tire blowouts, landing jack problems, broken springs, windows replaced twice, stove replaced, roof recoated. It goes on and on.
The good news is that with almost everything except fridge and A/C replacement we did the labour ourselves.

Tires. I've spent more on blowout damage than all other repairs combined.

Mice, my previous Forrest River Solera had a super highway open underneath that allowed them to get inside our cabinets. Poop and pee all over out pots and pans. I crawled all under the rig and finally spotted where they failed to foam fill one 2x2 area. I stuffed it with copper mesh and sprayed a liberal amount of black foam in there. No more mice in the passenger area. But the MB Sprinter chassis diesel left a nice path for them to build a huge nest in the engine air inlet. They also chewed a few wires under the hood.
So we built a building and parked it inside. No more mice issues.
Other than that, things have been pretty good over our 9 years of camper ownership.

Over 20 years for us with 7 different trailers: bumbper pull X 4 and now on our 3rd fifth wheel, I won't go previous to the tent era.
Lots of simple issues from dead batteries, light bulbs, black tank valve, slide issue, tire, awning, etc. big deal was bent springs, and as recently as this week, A/C blew its factory charge crimp. Installed a valve and up and running. Ours, some of becasue of weather and life, But all in all lots of ours have been normal. Knock on wood, if there is real wood anywhere, never had to replace anything major. How many issues are due to lack of maintenance or non use due to storage: HMMMMM

More issues with black tank than anything else. First one split stem to stern dumping the contents on the ground. Replacement has had two leaks in the cleanout sprayer and three valves needing to be rebuilt/replaced.
Second on the list it a roof leak. I spotted it as a patch of bumps like BB's under the TPO but before it stained the interior. Had to cut the roof open to dry out and use copious amounts of Eternabond to seal it back up.
