    Purchase extended warranty on used Winnebago?

    My experience with Camping world was nightmarish. Extended warranty’s seem to cover items that don’t go bad. Research the extended warranty. Ours was with Good sam. It was useless

    Class A first timer, looking for thoughts on extended service plans...

    We purchased a 2017 Winnebago Sunstar LX 4 years ago and decided to purchase the extended warranty. So glad we did, last year the ac/heat pump quit working, the steps needed replaced and the epoxy had come loose on front grill. The extended warranty covered all of that; however, the blind over...

    Extended warranties, who buys these?

    If you look at the economics of these plans the actual amount going to the company offering the plan is maybe 10-20% of the premiums. The rest is commission and operating costs. In order for the Company to make any money, they can’t payout much $$. Typical salesman/ dealer cut is generally north...

    Looking for warranty recommendations for RV and Tire/Wheel

    I am a strong believer in the “Me, Myself & I Extended Warranty Company.” Take the money you would pay for the best extended warranty you could buy and put it into a conservative investment account to be drawn down ONLY for RV repairs. I’m betting that 10 years down the road, you’ll still have...

    Question Clueless, excited new member seeking advice

    ...I also recommend CoachNet. Additionally, I like to take the yearly trek to Newmar for service on the house and Spartan for the Chassis. Having said that, if Tyron Bands or an extended warranty give you peace of mind then do it. There is no wrong answer. Welcome to RVF and the Newmar...

    Question Questions before buying.

    As far as the extended warranty goes. I was a Chevy service manager for about 35 years. IF the manufacturer offered a extended warranty, I might look at it. A lot of times, it is hard to get a straight answer out of the dealer as to is it a warranty offered by the manufacturer or someone else...

    Head gasket replacement in Newmar Ventana - ISL 9

    We extended FL warranty for our 2017 DS. Cost to have extended to 5 years and 7 years on the axles was approximately $1700. It is transferable but not refundable upon sale of coach. Yes it is based on date of purchase.

    Should you purchase a extended warranty?

    One thing that is worth considering...extended warranty is worthless if you are waiting months just to get your RV in for service, like what is happening now. ?‍♂️

    Should you purchase a extended warranty?

    Nice points here. I'm wondering if anyone knows the expected payout rate on these. I know with many extended warranties, the average is below ten percent. In other words, if you spend 1000 dollars on one, you will realize 100 dollars in benefits, on average. Of course, if the warranty company or...

    Should you purchase a extended warranty?

    I bought a new RV with a service package. How do I buy factory extended warranty after this current one is about to expire in 5 years? Will Freedom elite RV company or camping world contact me?

    Thor Class C full time Living Questions

    What specific model in the Thor line are you looking? Note that many of the Thor class 'C' motorhomes are not suitable for full time living. The interior materials are just not of a robust quality to stand up to living in full time. For example, most of the Thor class 'C' motorhomes on their...

    Should you purchase a extended warranty?

    My 5 month old Forest River has been in the shop 5 times and is currently there for a problem with the Dometic Fridge. If I can't get it fixed while still under factory warranty and only 5 months old, why would I think that an extended warranty would make any difference?

    Should you purchase a extended warranty?

    I definitely agree. Going through this right now with Transwest of Belton Missouri. We did buy the service contract thinking how very expensive it is to work on these motorhomes. Keep in mind this is a used unit. We had Transwest perform an inspection to establish a baseline and they had to...

    Buying a used RV

    Hi Teresa. I'm not familiar with that particular unit, but I can say that getting an inspection is probably one of the best things you can do. And welcome to the forum!

    Extended warranty companies and most RV dealers can recommend a qualified RV inspector for you. I'd budget around $400-$500 for that.

    Question Extended warranty

    I ended up buying an extended warranty form Good Sam. I generally do not buy warranties ever but after considering the complexity of these modern diesel pushers, I decided to buy a seven year bumper to bumper plan with a 1000 deducible. It runs me $89.00 a month. With the issues I have heard...

    Extended warranty info

    ...to have you here. As to extended warranties, I don't like betting against myself! That's basically what you are doing with an extended warranty. You are betting that the company will pay out more than you will pay in premiums. I suppose that may provide some peace of mind regarding a...

    Purchase extended warranty on used Winnebago?

    Thank you all for your honest, and valuable feedback. Without a doubt, we will not be purchasing the extended warranty from the Seller. Have a good day everyone!
