I bought my Toyota new in 75. 10 years later it spent one year off the road. Another time 5 years off the road. I have 384,000 miles on it. The Perris Valley high camper shell eventually rotted off of it and I replaced it with a Top One 4 foot high shell.
It has been from San Jose to Boston and back in nasty blizzards, dozens of trips hauling my canoe to rivers, and jeep trails. I spent years using it for commuting. I own a music store and my furnishings in the store and house are antiques. 6 times I've moved from one house to another and lots of the furniture and my library were hauled in it. Untold numbers of times I have hauled antique counters and desks in it to and from my music stores. 29 years of actual driving and it still hauls a good load.
After the '89 earthquake out here I had to sleep in it for 2 weeks, as the house broke in the quake.
