07 Fleetwood Discovery with full street side slide!!

I finally pulled the trigger!

Will be upgrading from my trusty old 93 Pace to a "slightly" newer 07 Discovery 39V! Going to be a MAJOR upgrade on my end. BIG upgrades will be the full slide, Air Brakes, Air bags and finally the 320HP Cat (had a 250HP Mechanical Cummins)

As you can see, a BIG step up for me. Will be flying south Friday to take delivery.

Would like to hear from other 07 Discovery owners on ANY tips on such a coach .

Also, This pristine coach only has 20K miles. Looks like it has been garaged since new.

BIG QUESTION:
Have the option to do a 2, 3 or 4 year Extended protection plan
3,700.00 2yrs or 24K miles
4,197.00 3yrs or 36K miles
4,672.00 4yrs or 48K miles

My prior Fleetwood PADP had ZERO issue with the Fridge\HWH\furnaces and such. I believe this to be due to all the maintaining I did on it. Not sure if I should spring for the additional coverage (RVCARE)

Ideas, thoughts?

Looks like I'll be swapping out my picture soon! Thanks All! Wish me luck! Going to be a LONG drive home.
  • congratulations on your new coach! We also are moving up to a DP and take delivery on Saturday. I don't have any experience with the extended warranties, but have heard what Mr.Mark said regarding exclusions, etc..
  • Thanks for the Extened Warranty Post. Pretty much my thoughts on the subject. Looking forward to more posts on this subject! I'm a hands-on type. Do 95% of my own repairs BUT I'm gettin up their in age & will need to "slow down" on the DIY side of it.

    I feel VERY fortunate to have had good experiences with my 93 Pace Arrow. That mechanical 8.3 Cummins with the Allison 3060 World transmission was a PERFECT match!

    Going to be REAL hard letting go of the 93! Been a real sweet coach for those coast 2 coast runs! I have done 2 in her & had a blast!
  • Congrats on the Motorhome! It sounds like you are getting a nice clean unit. I, too, would pass on the extended warranty and put that money towards future service/repairs. But, you know your comfort level and do what you feel is best for YOU!

    Safe travels, posts pics when you can!

  • Congratulations on the new coach! Very exciting. In my view, I would skip the extended warranty, primarily because the list of exclusions will be long. You're better off putting your premium aside and using it on repairs. Bet you have some left over.

    Hope you have a safe trip home.
