ESP

Is the ESP the same thing as the extended warranty they offer you when you purchase an RV? Do they cover the same things?

  • The reason I am asking is that when given our payment information for our new class c we are getting this weekend, they of course mentioned a 7 yr warranty. Of course it was high and I could probably get it for less when I go to sign the paperwork. I know they are trying to make money and most of e time those things are money makers for them. But they quoted me $50 more a month for a 7 yr plan. Over 20 years of payments that would be $12,000. They probably are charging about $7000 for the warranty.

    Anyway, I logged onto the CW ESP website and put in the info for the rig and it came up to around $3600 for the 7 yr period and it was a pay as you go. Granted almost $50 a month, but it was for only the 7 yr period and not for an additional 13 years. Plus, the rig has a 1 yr warranty no matter what and the ford parts are 3 yr/36 months. So the first year to three years would be worthless of the warranty.

    If they are basically the same thing, then this is just a heads up for ose getting ready to by a camper and might be interested in them. While they are not for everyone, I do see where they can offer peace of mind.
  • Make sure you read the policy thoroughly before you purchase. I had a Good Sam ESP when I first bought my trailer. Had trouble with the fridge and something else, and the coverage really didn't do me any good. I canceled the policy and got my money back.
  • Extended service plan, extended warranty. Two names for the same thing. There are dozens and dozens of companies selling aftermarket RV extended service plans. No way to tell how they stack up against each other without comparing specific plans.
