Extended Warranties, Service Contracts and Mechanical Breakdown Insurance policy coverage varies from one provider to another, but speaking for Good Sam Extended Service Plan, we do cover items that are added or replaced outside of the original factory, as long as they are a covered item to begin with, and that they are properly installed.
We recognize that items like refrigerators may only last five years or so, and will need to be replaced. Since we cover RVs up to 18 years old, we would cover the replacements. Likewise, you may add things like awnings or a satellite dish from an after-market source, and as long as these items are correctly installed, they will be covered by Good Sam.
When did that change occur? I got screwed by Good Sam ESP because the inverter died. The original inverter was installed by the dealer and Good Sam ESP told me that they wouldn't cover anything not installed as a factory installed item. It cost me over $600 to replace the inverter on my own. I was quite upset. I was told tough luck. I paid out of pocket. The Good Sam ESP people told me that they do cover anything installed by Camping World and added to a unit but no other certified dealers.
