Newbie needs some advice please!
Purchasing a new 2014 Raptor 27FS. This is our first TH (or camper in general) and we are very excited! There are some things that come with the sale that we are not sure on and would like some advice...

I can only provide my opinion on your inquiries. Others may have different opinions or experiences.
1. Extended Warranties: I wouldn’t purchase an extended warranty on any product. I try and buy the best quality I can find for my money and rely on the manufacturer’s warranty.
2. Paint and Fabric Protectant: I wouldn’t purchase either of these. You can buy aftermarket spray on fabric protectant at any auto supply store for far-far less if you want it.
The exterior siding isn’t listed as aluminum or fiberglass in your post. We have a 2005 Weekend Warrior with fiberglass siding and it has held up really well with simple wash & waxing. The most frequent cause of exterior appearance problems is either physical damage or peeling decals.
3. Slideout Room Cover: I have no experience or opinion on this subject.
4. Barker Power Tongue Jack: This is well worth while and I would at least attempt to require it as part of the deal, $300.00 shouldn’t break the deal from the dealer’s side and would be nice to have.
Good luck with your purchase and enjoy RV’ing.
