It might be worth it on higher priced units that have more to go wrong. Like self leveling, 3-4 slide outs, residential fridge, etc. On a lower end unit with one slide and normal amenities it might never payoff. I think it comes down to how handy or rich you are. If you can or are willing to YouTube problems and try the fix yourself, then passing on the RV warranty would be wise. If you aren't the handy type or for that matter older and the idea of crawling around your RV to fix stuff is not in your itinerary the I'd go for it.
These trailers aren't like autos. They have issues right out of the gate and require way more maintenance than your daily driver does. Changing the oils and filters is about all you do to a truck. Your trailer needs inspections biyearly and exterior maintenance. Winterizing and then spring redo. Lots more to go wrong.
I'd be asking how much the yearly inspection will cost and get a quote.
