Motorhome warranties

[clayjax]

We are purchasing a used motorhome. Could someone suggest a good inexpensive warranty please?

Unfortunately most RV warranties are not worth the paper they are written on because of all the exceptions in the fine print. You're better off saving the $2000-$5000 in a savings account and just pay for the repairs yourself most of the time. Do a VERY thorough inspection and look at the maintenance records BEFORE buying. If it looks like it's been taken care of you'll probably come out better without a warranty. You can also go one some of the larger RV forums like IRV2.com and read all the stories from people that got ripped off by their RV Warranties. Seems to be a common occurance.

What EZ said is 100% truth.

Great investment is a certified independent inspection prior to purchase, and oil analysis.

There is no such thing as an "Inexpensive Warranty"!

Follow "EZ's" advice and set up your own "Service/Warranty Account"! Put the $250-$300 month in it, & when you have issues, pay for it from that account.
At least then, you are not wasting money on a warranty.

The way I view extended after market warranties is the same way I view insurance. If you have an RV with a lot of expensive systems and you are a full timer then maybe it would be worth it to have some type of coverage for repairs. On the other hand, if you are only a seasonal camper and/or your RV is a pretty simple model then it probably won't be worth it.

Our company handles Service Contracts from a couple national companies. Very solid reputations and they actually do pay claims. Having the dealer get an approval first is a major thing. We have had very long and solid relationships with the companies we sell for. Some dealers try to overprice the coverage to "hit a homerun". Our theory on pricing is to keep them affordable so people get coverage to avoid the big repair bill.
Let us know if we can help.
