IMHO,...truck conversions are "generally" built somewhat better than a typical motorhome (with some exceptions).
Keep in mind that most conversions use quite a few of the same components as a motorhome - water heater & pump, furnace, roof AC's, etc,...
As far as basic design goes, [most] conversions are built with a steel or aluminum square tube structure which is superior to the construction design of most motorhomes.
Truck chassis, by the nature of the beast, are designed to go down the road a couple million miles with a 90K lb load behind, which would far exceed the life of a motorhome.
So, all things considered, a truck conversion (if properly designed & built) will likely be less trouble than a typical motorhome. At least that is my thought & I'm sticking to it!
