The Unit I'm looking at is supposed to have this "Warranty" that comes with with it. My Question is, Anybody have any dealings with these people, Of course all the literature with it looks like the promised land, but My Chronic Unease tells me to check on this. There is NO co-payment, and you have to get it inspected 1x a year by a qualified service center. I have no Idea about what warranty is actually good, so I need to me real people advice.'http://www.rvwarrantyforever.com/Thank you for your advice.Jeffrey

Don't have it but would like to know what are the costs?Nothing up front? How much for the inspection? Where are the inspectors? What if the find a `problem'? Who fixes it? How much to fix it, if any? Is everyone nationwide?

Might want to go back and read those rules again, your not supposed to post the same thing in multiple forums.

ScottG, I understand what you say, but there is no place to catch all for my Question, with that said, with $ 50,000 decision to make, I would hope there would be some leniency & understanding.

There's no need to double post if everybody does what I do and that is to click on `Newest' to just read the latest posts. Your two posts came up together.

Good chance that the warranty outfit will go belly up, disappear and or change hands by the time you need to make a claim, when that happens you warranty is nothing more than a piece of paper.$50K is a drop in the bucket and should not be sweated as far as RVs go and paying for a extended warranty is typically a waste of your hard earned cash.. If buying new your RV will come with at least a 1yr factory warranty, after that pretty much most of the bugs will have been worked out.If you take nothing else away from my post please read the following CLOSELY.Take the money you would be paying UPFRONT for the extra warranty, put it into a SAVINGS ACCOUNT, add a few $ per month to that account every month.Then when you do encounter a expensive repair you will have some money IN THE BANK to help cover the repairs. In a sense you are the warranty and you are more dependable than the aftermarket scammers.I am not sure as to what it is you are afraid of breaking but in some cases your INSURANCE (as long as you have a loan out on the RV you WILL BE REQUIRED TO CARRY SOME SORT OF INSURANCE) will often pay for the major disasters like water damage..

However, if the final cost of the RV is not a problem - guess the local dealer could have (should have?) delivered it to your home and saved you a 10 mile drive.

Replies framed in such a manner are the reason I am not very active on this forum, but spend most of my time on the Jayco Owners Forum where the discourse is less juvenile. You do realize that it is possible to comment on someone's posting without reverting to junior high school behavior?

FYI, we spent months visiting dealers near and far as well as searching the internet. Although I am in central North Carolina, we not only contacted the online dealership, RV Direct, about a 31FK on their lot, but we drove to Buffalo, NY to see it. For various reasons we elected to purchase from our local Jayco dealer instead. So your opinion, besides being ill-mannered, was also completely wrong.

You need to hear from somebody that actually Has the Warranty like ME, why would you turn this down??? ,it did NOT raise the cost of the RV it Was FREE to ME they pay for it out their profits and Lifetime to the ORIGINAL owner, true you have to once a year get it inspected by ANY certified RV tech once a year for about a hundred bucks and yes it is ZERO deductible for covered failures but it does NOT cover Slides and 6 point auto level but pretty much everything else and NO you do NOT have to go to the original dealer for the repairs ANy dealer or CERTIFIED mobile service is fine,not a bad thing for just being thrown in on the Great deal I already got on my Montana ,my Dealer(Tacoma RV) did not have to offer this service but they did and I think that is a good thing when all I have to do is spend a hundred bucks a year to get it checked out

Anyone that believes this coverage didn't cost anything "up front", that it was free, is as stated, a Dealers delight to sell an RV to...You can bet your bottom dollar the cost of this "so called" warranty/insurance was rolled into the cost of the unit...When you see how much these units can be discounted, HUGE discounts, AND we ALL know that the dealer and manufacturer STILL make money on that "great deal" the dealer gave you:R

I'm not spending a hundred or so dollars for someone to walk around my 5er and then tell me all is well, or they find something wrong..

I would want to watch them do this so called "inspection" to see just how thorough it REALLY is.

but hey, not my money, not my 5er....I wouldn't pay for it, I would let normal bumper to bumper warranty take care of everything and after that, become quite good at "fixing things" myself....(I already do...NO ONE will take care of my 5er like "I" will)...It could become an inconvenience to do this yearly inspection and I wonder what happens if you actually miss just ONE inspection:h

Just another money making scheme that some will buy into because it sounds so good, and of course....it's free:).......and the cow jumped over the moon.The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon:B

Let's say you have a leak in between yearly inspections. What happens then? Do you call the Lifetime Warranty and tell them you discovered a leak and they pay to have it fixed?

That is how it was explained to us. The specific question I asked was, "If we are in Arizona and the A/C dies, do I have to bring it back to North Carolina for repairs?" I was told, "No. Go to any RV dealer and from there call the Warranty Forever number. They will pay that dealer directly for any repair or replacement. You do not pay up front and then request reimbursement, and there is no copay."

As we intend on keeping the Greyhawk for some time, I expect we will use the warranty at some point. When we do, I'll update this thread at that time. I hope others who have the Warranty Forever coverage will do that as well.

I bought a new chair several years ago. One of the reasons I bought it was because the mechanism had a "lifetime warranty". Now it needs a new mechanism. I read the fine print. The "lifetime warranty" is for the life of the chair which is said to be 7 years...Moral of the story: Read ALL the fine print, don't believe anything that is not in writing...

NC Roamer,

What is spelled out as "lifetime"?
What inspections are mandatory?

Lifetime is defined to be as long as we own the motorhome and have the annual inspection done.

The Warranty Forever annual inspection list looks to be mostly things that ought to be done anyway. Granted I could do these but if it provides decent coverage for the cost of the inspection, then it might be worth it. After all, some RV buyers spend several thousand dollars for extended warranties which, as I understand it, run for about seven years.

As I noted, if the annual inspection charge is onerous, then I can just drop out of the program easily.

Notified our dealer that the DVD/CD player in the in-dash Clarion unit died. The replacement unit is in and I called today to schedule the swap. Told the service writer to also perform the annual Warranty Forever inspection and asked how much that would be. I was a bit surprised when she said, "There is no charge." She did add that, if any unwarrantable problem was uncovered, they'd contact me to discuss any fix and the cost for it. So far, so good.

I just got a letter from Warranty Forever detailing what they need ,INSPECT Roof and seal IF Necessary,Lube Hubs NOT tear them apart (they are Easy lube), grease wet bolts,INSPECT Furnace remove dust lint etc... test for gas leaks,flush hot water tank test relieve valve and clean burner tube, ...THAT'S ALL your done till next year OR you can go to another Dealer pay the same price for the Rig and get NOTHING but the basic 1 year warranty which by the way is EXPIRED by the time you have to take the rig in for their inspection and if something is wrong YOU will be paying for anything that might be bad .......again your call

I won't be having a dealer doing it anyway I'll just have a local Mobile Tech Inspect it BUT the Service dept at the dealer said like I said AROUND 100 bucks+supplies grease etc.. ,so it turns out to be 150 or 199 ,it is only ONCE a year gang and you would be doing that stuff yourself anyway if you take care of your rig like I do,Let THEM do it and save me the hassle small price to pay IMO for piece of mind or you can do without a warranty and roll the dice or spend 2K+ for an extended warranty your call,I understand people think it is a scam or a ripoff ,It is explained to you in detail if you ask they are hiding nothing ,it is pretty simple
