What about an ESP just for a motorhome's house?

Marcus,
Since trailers don't have a mileage rule, what is the possibility of an extended service plan for only the house portion of a motorhome that has more than 80,000 miles on the odometer?

There are fulltime RVers out there putting in the vicinity of 15,000 miles a year on a motorhome or trailer that they bought new. In 5 or 6 years they can exceed 80,000 miles. The difference being the motorhome has a mileage limit for coverage purposes. If you take the chassis out of the picture for high mileage motorhomes you could tap into 10 to 12 years of ESP payments from motorhome owners for just the house portion of a motorhome. Has anyone at GSE researched that market segment to see if there is money to be made from it?

  • Ya know I would also like an answer on that one. Today I received in the mail probably the 10th offer from Marcus for the ESP but my RV has to many miles on it, but is well under the 15 year rule and could be renewed up to 18 years old.

    While my neighbor has a 12 year old trailer that he claims that he has over 90000 miles of cross country use and has used the ESP a lot and likes it.

    I think, as gotsmart said, if you put the house part under the ESP there is a large market there. Or offer an ESP for the coach part only with the same year rules that apply to the 5th wheel/Travel Trailers. It only seems fair and I for one would look into buying this plan.

    So whatta ya think???
