2) When averaged across all users, I would think that a retired user, who spends 6 or more months in their RV is at a higher probability to recoup the warranty cost.
That right there makes sense. Too add to it a retired couple semi full timing is probably on a fixed income and coming up with $2600 and then more $$$ for other things that go wrong is harder. If one is finacing the RV, adding $18-21.00 a month to the payment is easier than shelling out $2600 all at once. It's mostly a no win situation for the buyer but it can be a good deal if one gets a lemon. Hopefully.
Like mentioned if using casually then the chances of breakdowns are lesser.
I haven't bought one with our last 3 trailers and haven't needed anything major fixed. But then again we only go out 40-50 nights a year.
