We certainly have gotten our money's worth and then some on our purchase of an extended 5 year warranty. We have a class A and it was worth every penny. So many things that have gone wrong and each item was covered. The last item that failed was our macerator in our 1/2 bath. It was over...
ExtendedWarranty is insurance on what ever you are buying. Some times you need insurance and most times we don’t. I have bought some warranties over the years and most of the time the repairs made during that time was less than the cost of the coverage. Sometimes we need insurance most times we...
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...
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.
As far as the extendedwarranty goes. I was a Chevy service manager for about 35 years. IF the manufacturer offered a extendedwarranty, 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...
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...
I bought a new RV with a service package. How do I buy factory extendedwarranty after this current one is about to expire in 5 years? Will Freedom elite RV company or camping world contact me?
One thing that is worth considering...extendedwarranty is worthless if you are waiting months just to get your RV in for service, like what is happening now. ?♂️
...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 extendedwarranty give you peace of mind then do it. There is no wrong answer. Welcome to RVF and the Newmar...
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...
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 extendedwarranty would make any difference?
...to have you here.
As to extended warranties, I don't like betting against myself! That's basically what you are doing with an extendedwarranty. 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...
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...
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!
Thank you all for your honest, and valuable feedback. Without a doubt, we will not be purchasing the extendedwarranty from the Seller. Have a good day everyone!
I ended up buying an extendedwarranty 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...
If it were me I would try to get a 90 warranty on it for nothing from the dealer, then depending on the miles and/or maintenance records probably wouldn't buy an extended service plan.
