Just curious, Have you actually had the rig in yet? And if so was it only $100? Or are you going with what the sales guy told you when you bought the rig? Those could end up being two different things in my opinion.

Not sure how they can lube all four hubs and do the rest in an hour. To lube the hubs right, they need to be removed. That means jacking up the trailer and removing the tires, brake drums and hubs. Once the hub is removed then the seal is ruined. A new needs put in. Just seems to me like too much work for one hour. More power to you though if you get all you say for $100.00 a year.

I wonder if the inspection fee, is separate from the maintenance items.
Tacoma RV for example lists furnace, service alone at $199, on special, Not to mention, axles hubs and the water heater service.

The contract does not say inspection, It says, you MUST PREFORM the required yearly maintenance on those items.

If they are going to do all that maintenance for 100 bucks, Sign me up!

It was not free it is paid for as part of the profit on the sale of the RV. they make money because they pay out less than they receive in premiums and other income just like any business.

I asked the same questions you all did ,how can they offer it for free? answer: my dealer Tacoma RV does very little if any advertising compared to other dealers so they can afford to spend and buy into this program and take it out of their profit ,it is a great thing to offer to a perspective owner and it SELLS RV's PERIOD!and it must be working they are the #1 towable dealer in WA state ,it only takes my dealer (about) an hour to inspect it(about a 100+or- bucks an hour) or what?? 150.00 for a mobile tech??? whatever no big deal ONCE a year and on a 5th wheel there is not much to check, inspect roof,lube hubs,test the hot water heater,and furnace and fridge to spec's and that's it, My dealer was up front that it does NOT cover slides or Auto 6 point level , A lot of people do not want to pay 2K for an extended warranty so this is pretty cool for almost nothing out of pocket,and Again My RV I bought was the best price I could get from any dealer around and I shopped for 3 months, this is no scam just a good thing for the dealer(sells RV's) and the customer who gets a warranty that covers a lot of stuff ,it is not rocket science here folks just a good way to sell RV's from a good dealer that is willing to offer it,if other dealers were smart enough to offer it they would sell more RV's too,AND also I asked what if the Warranty for Ever company goes belly -up? then it is backed by a insurance company that will take it over, Or you can roll the dice and say NO THANKS to it but you better hope nothing goes wrong,if my 4 door Dometic fridge goes bad it is $3500 dollars alone OR spend 2K+ for a extended warranty, so it is your call folks...I took the freebee

I would like to hear from those that have made a payment for inspection and latter on in a year or two hear from those that have actually used it. No warranty ins company plans on going broke. Like any ins company they make huge amounts of money. Someone's covering the costs. Those cost aren't covered for free.

It will cost more than $100.00 per year. My guess is 2-250.00.
The following need to be done yearly and at 90.00 per hr for labor

1. Inspect roof and seal where necessary

2. Axle and hub lube

3. Furnace - annually inspect and clean blower and combustion chamber. Control compartment,
remove any dust, lint, and obstructions. Test for gas line leaks.

4. Hot water heater - flush holding tank, manually operate pressure temperature relief valve, and
clean burner tube as outlined by the manufacturer.

I just don't see all that being done for $100.00.

This pretty well describes how we felt about it. We did not go to this specific Jayco dealer because he offered the lifetime warranty. We went because he is only ten miles from the house, has an excellent reputation, has been in business since 1951, had the exact Greyhawk we wanted in stock, and we negotiated a fair price plus some extras.

Both the dealer and the insurance/warranty company, have to keep the doors open, and have families to feed. They need to make a profit. Nothing wrong with that.

But with all respect, I am confused how they can do that. If this program is "freeish" to the consumer. (just $100 per year inspection fee)

How can they stay in business? In my humble opinion they either front load the price into the purchase, or will make it up on the back end.

Think about it, you just can not conjure money out of thin air. So who is paying the freight? The buyer, is my guess

End of the day it is an extended insurance/warranty program that has been re-packaged. Not saying it is a bad thing to have, just saying to think it is free, except for the $100 inspection fee is wrong.

Math just does not add up.

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.
