Extended Warranty

CN we have and like it, called twice and service was good. warrenty? find a company on your own ,they get a very big chunk of the cost to put in there pocket. and if your handy? put the cost in a piggy bank and add $25.bucks every month, you,ll have a better plan than you can buy.

Ask for a copy of the policy. IF they give you one, read it completely.
Find out what is not covered.

Personally, I think extended warranties are a waste of money.

If you decide to buy one, negotiate the price. It's extra profit for the dealer.

Good luck.

Coach-Net RA is a good outfit.

Coachnet RA may duplicate coverage you pay for on your auto/fiver policy.
There are other roadside assistance providers so check their price.
The dealer is not touting these products because he is your friend. He is doing it because he gets a HHHUGE commission on them. It is up to you to decide if they are any good.
DO NOT LET HIM ADD IT INTO YOUR PAYMENT

We have Roadside Assistance with Coachnet...worth the whole $109 a year we paid..Extended Warranty? Never purchased one until the purchase of our new Jayco last Aug. It's our retirement trailer and it's through Jayco, (7years)...so I thought, May come in handy..who knows?

We have lost money on any purchase we bought one.

heck Larry, I may be dead before this one run's out:B

Extended warranties are always a 50/50 proposition. I don't buy them for things like electronics but I do buy them for items that cost a lot to fix, like cars and trucks. What I don't want to do is to add to the dealers profit when I can get the same thing cheaper.

I do have roadside assistance through my insurance policy but I could remove it if I find a better deal.

Thanks for all the responses!

I agree with the sentiments above.
Roadside assistance = Yep.
Extended Warranty is not for me no matter what the cost, I fix myself.

DW says she has her own warranty department in the living room on the couch.

I had one on a motorhome we used to own. Everything was fine with the first claim for steps repair. The next one was for a shot microwave. To get it repaired I had to pay for removal, pay freight costs to ship it to someplace across the country for evaluation and possible repair, then pay for shipping it back. In the fine print it said shipping costs for parts were not covered. I pulled the old one and bought and installed a new one myself. Never again.

I have had Coach-Net and used it once. Very good service. I have the Good Sam service now but have not needed it.

consumers report states NOT to get a warranty but it is just their opinion.

do your own search on warranties and tow service. good sam is one of several.
